Hi all, I’ve added a new feature to the BrailleInput app that support contractions (not all contractions, just a few). It is still experimental. But if you want you can try it out and let me know if it works well.
To toggle between standard and contracted input, press space d1 d4 and d7 at the same time. While in contracted input, the app still uses the translation table but overrides dots combinations which are defined as contractions. I only implemented contractions that: 1. Are represented by a single dots combination 2. Are not dependent on context 3. I remember (I’m not much of a contracted braille user, so please forgive me if I made mistakes) Below is the list of contractions implemented with the relevant dots combination. I’ll be happy to hear your feedback at [email protected] 345 ar 12346 and 16 ch 1246 ed 26 en 12456 er 123456 for 126 gh 35 in 346 ing 12356 of 1256 ou 246 ow 146 sh 34 st 1456 th 2346 the 156 wh 23456 with If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
