Old mBraille still more accurate and question about swipe sensitivitysetting
by Ioana Gandrabur April 10, 2026

April 10, 2026

Hello, I just tried using the old mBraille and feel like, although this is now more accurate than before, the old one was registering my taps more precisely, less often confusing them with swipes. How would the swipe sensitivity work for this? I'm still not sure how adjusting this setting is translating when typing.

v0.9.27 Lag, begone 2
by Harri Pasanen April 9, 2026

April 9, 2026

Hi there, This version feels snappy to me, but if you feel it still is dragging its feet, please enable telemetry in the settings. Then I will hopefully get timing data (not what you are writing). Best regards, Harri

Progress report

Hi everybody, Thanks for the prompt feedback from you for the last round. I did not quite manage to make a new test version yet. Good news is that it feels snappier to me already, just sorting out telemetry settings for further debugging. Hopefully tomorrow I can do a new test release. Best regards, Harri

v0.9.25 is out
by Harri Pasanen April 7, 2026

April 7, 2026

Hi everybody, This release got a fair bit of changes and polishing. It should address most if not all feedback i've gotten. Probably some of the fixes do not fully work, or some new kinks surfaced. The audio setup was overhauled, best results are expected using self voicing. it uses audio ducking without interrupting background audio. If you notice unbearable lag or other issues, I will do an instrumented release that records the events for me to play back. That said, this should be a net positive release, and i'm starting to prepare for a public release. If you notice any show-stoppers, or even smaller bugs, do let me know. On my todo there is mainly double checking cloud sync and storage working. Best regards, Harri

Thoughts for the mail-command
by Thomas Byskov Dalgaard April 6, 2026

April 6, 2026

Hi Harri! Would it be possible to add a feature to the mail command so that if you type: mail hello(a)world.com without specifying a subject field, the first line in the buffer will automatically be used as the subject, and the email address hello(a)world.com will automatically be interpreted as an email address rather than a subject field? But the feature should ignore this if you write: mail hello(a)world.com "This is a test" Would it be possible to implement the above? I am very inspired by the way Drafts does this , but I understand that users may like to have both methods of creating E-mail messages in MBraille. Best regards, Thomas

v0.9.24 Polishing, change voicing strategy
by Harri Pasanen March 30, 2026

March 30, 2026

Hi, As I'm not sure when I can do the next release, I'm putting this out, as it has couple if important fixes, even if I still have many things to clean. Main change is that self-voicing is now the default in the kb. You can leave VoiceOver or TalkBack on, but when in braille kb, self voicing is used. There is a switch to force VoiceOver user in settings, but I suggest you try without. Reason for this is that I have much more control over self-voicing than VoiceOver/TalkBack, so I believe it will be better in the long run. For example, deletions are announced with a lower pitch. I will also be able to implement voice cursor moving text cursor, so if you interrupt a long text read, you will not be thrown into beginning. This last feature is still in my todo. Best regards, Harri

screen recording of intermittent silent word bug
by Keith Rempel March 26, 2026

March 26, 2026

Hi, I have here a screen recording of the bug where MBraille in some cases does not read a word that is entered. (this is the one I thought was related to keyboard clicks, not the one relating to multi-word contractions.) Keyboard clicks are turned off, so that must not be the issue. The words "now" and "see" are entered, but not read out when I swipe right in the video. Upon hearing nothing on a swipe right I do a 1 finger swipe up to demonstrate that the words have been entered properly but not spoken. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ycnicpce5z2pptal5y0cf/MBraille-word-skipping… I feel like the app is running just a bit more laggy for me than typical right now. That's hard to quantify though. Words are being skipped quite frequently for me this morning, hence my making the video. I just now (post video) quit the app from app switcher and relaunched. The bug is still happening quite a bit. In this case, it took me typing about three sentences for it to come back. But then it happened twice in a sentence. Keith

4 finger swipe issue
by Harri Pasanen March 26, 2026

March 26, 2026

Hi, I think Elaine wrote having issues with 4 fingers swipes registering, but I don't recall anyone else mentioning this. I finally got myself a new iPad, and 4 finger swipes are almost unusable there. Seems like iOS is cancelling the 4th finger swipe, not always but over 50% of the time those don't work. My hypothesis is that thanks to removal of the physical home button, some code path to recognize those remains active, even if I unchecked the Four & Five Finger App Switching from the iPad settings. But I don't think Elaine has an iPad, so something else might also be going on. Anyone else have issues with 4 finger swipes? The two finger scrub works to go back to main menu as alternative, but I'm wondering if I need to drop 4 finger swipes completely... Best regards, Harri
