Hi harry, I am like Richard in getting back to the main menu of MBraille with a four finger swipe up. That gesture takes me back to my Home Screen, not the settings as it is suppose to do. I am also not able to use MBraille in the landscape mode on my iPad. It switches to portrait mode, even though I have it locked in landscape mode, which is my preferred way of screen orientation.

I have never gotten the 4 finger swipe to get back to the menu to work with or without VoiceOver enabled. I made MBraille self voicing and exit VoiceOver after activating the Braille Editor. I hold the phone with the power port to the right, so the volume buttons are on top. In which direction is "up" in that position?

Using a dropped d dots 2,5,6 as the period before a command like radio doesn't work. The Self-Voicing says 4, when I use the dropped d. I'm in UEB Contracted Braille.

I write something, hit period mail and nothing happens but a tone like a misspelling. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Hi all,

And now for something completely different and new:

v0.5.2 introduces proof of concept radio command with 5 channels.

Swipe up with 3 fingers, type

radio

and swipe down. It will play at random one of the 5 built in internet radio stations. You can also do: radio 1 to directly go to station 1, etc.

Arguments are

radio, radio 1-5, radio off, radio pause, or radio resume radio stop is the same as radio off.

The radio will keep playing even if you quit MBraille. It should obey headset buttons for pause and resume... to be tested.

If this is deemed to work well enough, I will later introduce a list of stations that can be updated from a server, plus filters via genre, language or location.

Remember: hold 4 and swipe up to do back in command history.
