Hello, I updated MBraille today, and I noticed that the issue where the letter q cannot be typed as an uppercase Q is still present. I wanted to let you know as soon as I noticed it. I am a Turkish user using an iPhone 16 Pro Max running the latest version of iOS. Thank you very much for your continued work and support.

Settings accessibililty

Hi, FYI, I got the following feedback from a user trying to use an external braille keyboard: Turns out, the external keyboard option is read by VoiceOver only if I tap the middle of the screen then swipe back and forth. Before figuring out what was happening, I was opening Settings > Input Mode. I then immediately began swiping back and forth wondering why the option for the external keyboard was not presented as explained in the manual. Within the Mbraille app I'm thinking there must be some sort of weird loss of focus by VoiceOver "hiding" what is obviously on the screen. I would also like to add that when I immediately open the Mbraille Settings, the other options in this main menu behave the same way (endless swiping from top of screen to bottom then back to the top of the screen). I need to investigate, but I'm wondering if you ran into this, or something in the way you use VoiceOver navigation circumvents this issue? Best regards, Harri

Hello, I updated MBraille on July 5, but since you mentioned that you were traveling, I’m only writing to you now. The issue where some Turkish characters could not be typed in uppercase has been fixed. However, interestingly, the letter q still cannot be typed as an uppercase Q. All the other letters can now be typed in uppercase. I just wanted to let you know. Thank you.

v26.3.0 in TestFlight
by Harri Pasanen July 4, 2026

Hi everybody, # Version 26.3.0 ## New features - Fixed away layout, can be activated in settings - Grade 2 Braille for Hungarian - Allow search in AI command to ground the results and have recent events available - Google Drive access regression fixed ## Fixes - Uppercasing accented characters was broken on iOS devices. Android and Desktop were not affected. - Setting to open MBraille directly to braille keyboard, bypassing the menu, was not working. - AI command issues fixed. Hopefully this is good enough to be released to AppStore. If you have a chance to give it a quick spin, I'd appreciate it. I will then release it tomorrow evening for Apple Review. Then I will be on vacation for about two weeks, with poor connectivity to even email. Best regards, Harri

MBraille Windows Desktop version refresh available

Hi, https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/9PC8Z5M4VNZ1?cid=DevShareMCLPCB This release makes the Windows version fully self-voicing, including the menus, as it turned out that NVDA and Jaws support would have been a lot of work. Best regards, Harri
