TapType is out.
-
@jonathan859 @freya So it was working, or what were you doing. I notice you kept dismissing the keyboard, what was causing that? were you perhaps hitting the back button or dragging in from the edge?
-
@freya @jonathan859 If you open the app you can change the keyboard height.
@fireborn @jonathan859 ok that works now, but it's still quite.......... glitchy? inaccurate? I'm not sure how to describe that

@freya @jonathan859 What sort of glitch do you mean? you mean you think you should be getting a certin prodiction and you aren't?

@fireborn @jonathan859 mm, yeah, I think I'm remembering Fleksy and that felt a lot....well a lot faster, for one thing, this feels, and I don't think this is your fault, this feels very androidy. slow. deliberate. and a lot less accurate

@freya @jonathan859 Try turning talkback off and typing at full speed? I think I know what's going on and it's talkback fuckery if so

@fireborn @jonathan859 holy shit, ok so if Taptype passthrough is on, no other keyboard works. thjey all get passthrough'd

-
@jonathan859 @freya yeah that's just kind of the way it is.
-

@freya @jonathan859 Uh. Thanks for catching that haha fixing now.
-
@jonathan859 @freya yeah that's just kind of the way it is.
-
@jonathan859 @freya This is what happens when you're fighting a hostile API. Talkback makes assumptions about the screen and what service has control of the screen, even though android has ways to indicate otherwise.
-
@fireborn @jonathan859 holy shit, ok so if Taptype passthrough is on, no other keyboard works. thjey all get passthrough'd
@freya @jonathan859 Fixed the passing through all keyboards problem.
-
@freya @jonathan859 Fixed the passing through all keyboards problem.
@fireborn @jonathan859 yay!

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.

@fireborn how do you keep making all these apps so quickly sent with tap type
@pixelate Haha nothing about this is quick. I just don't announce what I'm working on until it's close to ready.

@freya @jonathan859 Both of you grab the new build, 1.0.1, and it should be much much better. I hope.

#TapType #Accessibility #A11y #Android #Blind #VisuallyImpaired #TalkBack #Keyboard #AssistiveTechJust a reminder that while I make these apps available for free, I do accept sponsorships if you like what I do and want to unlock pro features in current and future apps. These features do not effect core functionality, but your sponsorships do unlock my ability to keep doing this and not go back to an office job.

@4censord Not yet, sorry :(. I'm only one person and I wanted to get a version out to catch device bugs that I couldn't possibly catch by myself.
-
@4censord You could add them to the user dictionary and they would get prioritized, but I'll look into adding other languages.
