Hi Harri and others! Here are my observations so far. I have not tested extending braille functionality yet, but found a few important things hidden in the app itself: There is a known issue in the framework that Harri uses from Google that makes big screens quite hard to navigate with VoiceOver this has nothing to do with Harri's work, but it shows why cross platform coding can be quite hard to manage even for experienced developers. When I scrolled through the options I use the flick gesture, when I came to the different voices I could select, there became quite an issue. All of a sudden VoiceOver jumped to the top of the screen, and was not able to reposition the place in the list of voices. When I tried to force it back by placing one finger at the bottom half of the screen and thereafter swiped down with three fingers, and nothing happend I knew that the issue was not VoiceOver related, but rather a bug in the framework that MBraille relies on at the moment. to be fair, I have quite a few voices installed, but I have seen this issue in a few other apps. The issue is that VoiceOver cannot follow the cursor movement inside a list. It is quite hard to debug, since the issue does not present itself each time, but hopefully it can get resolved some day. I liked the way the different options were grouped. Personally (for my own taste) I would like the groups to be more shown as headings, but that is due to VoiceOver and other mobile screenreaders can move between headings rather than groups. I briefly tested the braille editor, and it worked quite good. However I have an older, small phone, so the dots were a little hard for me to get in place. I wonder if there are any calibration mode for a future version? Another thing I noticed was that when I deleted a few characters too fast, I got a repeated message saying: Beginning of text. This was quite nice, but not so nice that I was not able to interupt this message, by starting typing again. But I really like MBraille editor, and I am very glad to use it again. I wonder if it is possible to update the Danish Grade 2, since quite a lot has changed? Again, if Liblouis can be used for this, loads and lots of work will be lifted away from Harri, so development time can be spent on more interesting things. Thanks for a nice start, Harri. This can be very great. I wonder if you would consider a braille display mode some day? Best regards Thomas Sendt fra min Macbook Pro via Apple mail

Hi,
iOS build should finally be installable to registered devices. Note to Charles, Falk and Jean-Philippe, your device status is still processing. Apple introduced this mandatory 24-72 hour cooling off period for new testing devices some time ago.
You need to set your device to developer mode to be able to install the test release. This is a new security feature introduce by iOS 16.0, to prevent you from accidentally installing malicious applications.
