When in spell mode the sentence you need to write in braille is often truncated making it impossible to do. You need to turn off displaying letters to be able to view two lines of text, but even that will truncated if you have a long two line sentence.

I've been looking for an app for a while that can type with braille and outputs braille (not english) so I can practice with friends who are also working to learn braille. I have a few suggestions that would improve to a 5 start rating. 1. As a low vision person, I have a hard time seeing the dots to click. Could a black outline be arount each dot in the cell? Or make the background of the dots darker so they stand out more. 2. Can we have a portrait mode? Makes it easier to type, don't need all the space at the bottom. 3. When we press enter to add the cell to the line, it'd be nice if the dots could clear themselves. 4. Could we add a cursor to the line of cells? That way if we have to make an edit, we don't have to clear everything back to that point. 5. It'd be absolutely amazing if there was an option to have the typing cell as an addon keyboard for typing outside the app, like in text messages, notes, email etc.

I like your app not a game, no ads (good for you.) You may want to try Braille type 1, Braille type 2, Braille type 3 tabs they are also called define or undefined or something like that. Flash cards: cards print out on a letter size paper can place 12 or so on one sheet and make it a two page think with instructions on placing it back into printer to print it on the backside of card so that you have the answer that way. Braille keyboard layout like the real ones out there for the blind may help. To learn the 123,456 placement on the app. The spell area the “y”is not a “v”. I place the dots right on the other parts of the app but the spell says “v” for “y”, these may have problems with other letters, spell check your app please. There are external keyboards out there for the blind your app can Bluetooth with them can help. More later. Thanks for the wonderful app.
