Hi Engin,

For Android, MBraille is usable with Talkback, except when in braille input screen, when one must rely on self voicing.

MBraille directs the user to turn the talkback off (hold volume up and down keys) when entering the keyboard.  It also announces when an external app is launched, so that  the user knows to turn the talkback back on.

Unfortunately Android does not allow touch event to go through to the app unfiltered when the TalkBack is running.   I raised a ticket about this roughly 13 years ago to Google, but they just closed it after some years.

Best regards,
Harri

Harri can New Mbraille be used with talkback without self voice? Some of my frends who use Android are asking.

Subject: [MBraille-Test] v0.9.1 fixing and polishing

 

# Version 0.9.1

 

Polishing and fixing only this time.

 

* Changed the audio library used to a low latency one, so it should feel faster.

* Cleaned up VoiceOver use in iOS, it should now use VoiceOver, with the speed you configured for VoiceOver.

* Tuned the speed scaling of iOS self voicing, slowest was too slow, fastest too fast.  This is platform dependent, so let me know how it feels now.

* Changed the keyboard click sound

* Announce beginning of text when deleting backwards by word, when nothing left to delete. (swipe left with two fingers)

* Adjusted self voicing speed scaling for iOS

* Self voicing on iOS can also now be interrupted, like on Android.  It can still probably be improved, let me know if needed.

 

Best regards,

Harri
