Hi all, Improved regression tests. Various small fixes, some with high impact depending on language. Fix to French contracted braille regression. Fix to character announced when backspacing when entering a word. Clipboard should now be populated with the text you've written when you switch to another application. This allows you to compose your text in MBraille and paste the result to any other app, both on Android and iOS. Another fix to TTS rate setting in Android. Fixed cursor preview in MBraille Desktop when entering text. Lang command fixed. If you know multiple languages and wish to type in Braille using another language, swipe up with 3 fingers to enter command mode, and the type lang two-letter-code for language and swipe down. Example: lang it Note that if you are not using VoiceOver but self voicing in the braille keyboard, the voice also changes to native Italian speaker voice. Best regards, Harri
I'm noticing an issue with certain contractions. I'm using US language, contracted Braille, and I have UEB off. When I try to do a contraction with the dot 6 and then y... like really, actually, literally... the dot 6 and then y at the end of the word ends up just being a capital y. I checked it in the original mBraille app as well as Braille screen input, and they're working normally. Just curious if others have experienced this. Sent from my iPhone

Confirmed, I can duplicate the same behavior. I tested a few suffix-based contractions,, and so far, I'm only seeing the issue with dot 6, y and dot 6, n.

Hi, Thanks for the feedback. It seems it defaults to Unified English Braille for English and is not respecting the toggle in the settings. I'll fix this for the next release. Best regards, Harri On Monday, January 5th, 2026 at 6:30 PM, Suleyman Gokyigit <sgokyigit@icloud.com> wrote:

Harri, I'm not getting the text copied after writing in MBraille and then opening another app, like mail, and pasting.

Hi Harri & All, I have recently checked the 2 issues others are having with the beta. I can confirm with Richard that I can’t paste into a 3rd party app after composing text with MBraille beta. I turned off UEB and just used contracted Braille only. I was able to expand both dot 6-y (ally) and dot 6-n (ation). For me. I use UEB and those contractions have been eliminated due to confusion with other Braille contractions or to make the Braille look more what a sighted person would see in print. HTH. I will post again with other issues I have been having when I Braille certain contractions in UEB. Best, Eileen Sent from my iPhone

I too can confirm the same behavior on iOS. The text in the buffer is not placed on the clipboard upon exiting MBraille beta. If something was already on the clipboard at the time the beta is launched, it remains on the clipboard afterward, uneffected. If the clipboard was empty at time of launch, it remains empty after.
