@freya @jonathan859 Reasons for that can quite simply be boiled down to talkback sucks.
@fireborn @jonathan859 and ToBeSaid is a glitchy mess, wow, hoily shit

@fireborn @jonathan859 will it generate a custom voice? yes. will that work with talkback? no. will it slow my entire phone down to where it takesd a solid 2.5 seconds to recognise a talkback gesture? also yes

@freya @jonathan859 Yup, it's very slow right now. Apparently it's being worked on though. Interestingly I have less issues than most with it.

@fireborn @jonathan859 also do you know if there's a workable eloquence or vocaliser that won't shit the bed due to licensing and/or direct boot? and/or is there a prebuilt copy of the GrapheneOS TTS? I'm using google right now

@freya @jonathan859 eloquence is on the play store, that's the only way to get that. SmartVoice has a method of installing vocalizer voices, but I've not looked into how to do it.

@freya @jonathan859 There's a modified Termux floating around that is way better, but it's quite old now and isn't perfect. Maybe I should for kTermux haha.

@fireborn @jonathan859 nope, still doesn't work here. if I use two fingers and swipe left on the keyboard area I get "nothing to delete", and it inserted a 'g' when I tapped on the "TapType keyboard" object.

@freya @jonathan859 what the fuck? You did turn on the pass through in the settings, right? The keyboard won't block you from trying to use it with it off.

@fireborn @jonathan859 ok that works now. unfortunately two more issues: 1) it's very, very low down, like it's using like 1/3rd the space on the screen meaning the keyboard is tiny, and also there's issues there if I tap-tap-tap-tap-tap at full speed, even at full 'iPhone direct touch typing" speed, it's in the middle of reading one letter when I tap another, and the new one gets ignored

@freya @jonathan859 If you open the app you can change the keyboard height.

TapType is out. It's a keyboard for blind Android users.
There are no visible keys. You tap where QWERTY keys would be from muscle memory, and a spatial prediction algorithm figures out what you meant. It scores nearby keys using a Gaussian proximity model and runs a beam search against an 80,000 word dictionary. You don't need to be precise. That's the whole point.
Swipe right to commit a word. Swipe down or up to cycle through suggestions. Swipe left to delete. It learns what words you use most and ranks them higher over time, and you can add your own words to a personal dictionary.
Every letter has its own unique sound, from Andre Louis's keyboard sound recordings, so you can learn to identify keys by ear without relying on speech. Each swipe direction has a distinct sound too. TTS is there when you want it, adjustable speed, and you can turn it off entirely if you prefer sounds only.
It has emoji search with skin tone selection and favourites, a number pad mode, an upper case mode, and full punctuation support with a customizable quick list. Two-finger gestures handle things like send, close keyboard, switch keyboard, and voice input.
Everything works with TalkBack. I built this because FlickType was a fantastic keyboard for blind iOS users and then it was gone. Nothing like it existed on Android, so I made one.
It's free, no ads, no tracking, no metrics. I'm not evil.Edit: Now on 2.0 with multiple languages supported.
