Hello list, greetings of the day. I've been using "MBraille" for a week or so and now i find myself quite comfortable in typing on vertual braille keyboard. So i am going to share my experience with this app with the list. This breif description will be helpful for other list members. I am also sharing my prefered setting with the request to suggest alternate setting options if possible.
Description of various setting options in MBraille: in MBraille, there are 12 options in setting menu. I'm going to describe each of these briefly. 1. Tutorial mode: beginners should keep this option on. if tutorial mode is on we can explore the layout by sliding our finger on the screen. we are required to type letters "L" and "W" to begin typing text. when we are familiar with the layout we can switch the tutorial mode off. 2. Keyboard layout: there are 3 options under this menu --1. Horizontal layout like perkins brailler, 2. Grid layout and auto keyboard layout. Double tap to circle through the options. Select horizontal for tabs and grid for phones. 3. Keys are switched or not switched in grid layout: here one can swap dots 1 and 3 and dots 4 and 6 in grid layout. my preferred setting is "dots are not switched in grid layout". with this choice I can hold my moto e phone between both palms with screen facing awayfrom me. in this posision the USB charging port will be on the left side and I can press dots 1, 2 and three with left hand index, middle and ring fingers respectively and dots 4, 5 and 6 with right hand index, middle and ring fingers respectively.the use of fingers for pressing dots is similar to perkins brailler layout. 4. Lock the keyboard in landscape or portrat mode: as per user preference one can lock the keyboard. my preferred choice is landscape. 5. Swipe sensitivity: there are 3 options --high, mediam and low. I prefer high. 6. Contracted braille: there are two options -- on and off. I prefer contracted braille on.we can switch contracted braille on and off while typing by holding dot 6 and flicking up or down with the other hand finger. 7. Auto capitalisation: two options --on and off are available. . 8. Read while typing: there are 3 options available --1 read by character, 2 by word and 3 by character and word.my preferred choice is read by both character and word. 9. check spelling: there are three options available --1 check while typing, 2 check while previewing and 3 don't check. perhaps check spelling feature doesn't work in free version. 10. Spell check using the list. 11. Dropbox sinc: on and off. 12. Go back to menu. Hope this description would be helpful for new Android users. advance users can also add something to make it better.
