Do you recommend an alternative to the braille keyboard of talkback? (self.Blind)
submitted by the-cat1513
Hello!

I am testing this keyboard, but I find problems with it.

Do you recommend any alternative for android?

I do remember trying SoftBraille, but didn't have good success with it. I'm not sure why it's not producing the capital sign. I had no issues and really enjoyed it while I used it. I wish I could help more, though.

I've tried a ton of Braille apps for both Android and iOS, and there's nothing as good as TalkBack's Braille keyboard on Android. I personally think it's even better than Braille Screen Input that works on iOS. What kind of issues are you having?

Hi there!
I have noticed that the google braille keyboard does not recognize the capitalization sign, for some reason it removes the ellipsis, and in general I find it a bit clumsy in terms of design.
An alternative I used to use was soft braille keyboard, but since i can no longer suspend talkback with a key combination I had to leave it.
