1. Writing on phones by the blind or visually impaired people is carried out in two ways, by using the standard system keyboard whose main disadvantage is the time it takes when searching for the characters or using the speech-to-text feature which for obvious reasons is not always possible and even worse, completely violates the privacy of the user.
2. To copy the text from the camera to clipboard the user needs to long press on the screen and the phone will vibrate as a confirmation that the text is copied successfully.
3. Through appropriate adjustments such as the different beeps for the keys, a variety of swipes across the screen (to delete a character, delete a whole word, enter a space, enter a new row etc. ) simplicity and speed are provided in using the keyboard.
4. Additionally, in the keyboard User Mode can be enabled, where the user can assign custom values - words, expressions - which he most often uses when writing, to the standard characters combinations.
5. In this respect, our application offers a Braille alphabet based keyboard that consists of six keys that occupy the whole screen.
6. To start reading the text from the camera the user needs to tap on the screen, also to stop reading the user needs to tap again.
7. This mobile application primarily aims to provide faster communication for the blind and visually impaired people through their mobile phones.
8. Although it is quite simple, but because it is a new concept, within the application a quick tutorial is provided, in which, through short tests the user becomes familiar with the way the keyboard works.
9. The other part of the application is based on the Google Vision API, which is appropriately implemented to use the camera on the phone to detect text.
10. By doing this, the blind and visually impaired people knowing the alphabet can write messages privately, quickly and without error.
11. Afterwards the text, using text-to-speech, is read to the user in real time.
1. I am very glad that there is a developer out there trying to make this sort of keyboard possible, but just don't understand how this system is supposed to work.It's too difficult even though I am a visually impaired person I don't think many people is going to download this app because I don't think it supports WhatsApp YouTube Instagram Snapchat Facebook an Instagram it is just a difficult up I don't know about other people but for me it is very difficult this app it seems like it only needs a one star I don't think many people are going to install it anyway sorry for the bad for you but that's my adviceGosh! Haven't got a clue how this app works!Amazing OCR.Thanks for creating an osam Braille keyboard.
2. (Working under Android 7 and Galaxy S7 Edje): The idea is really good and it's exactly what I'm looking for, but the App crashes in step three of the tutorial (when trying to insert an space) then it becomes impossible to send the bug report from that situation.
3. The app uses a combination of gestures and tones, however, I can't seem to get through the tutorial so I have no way to understand what these tones and gestures represent.
4. 2) When your app detects the text, add the functionality that it reads the text once unless user don’t move there phone or tap on the screen.
5. Another good option would be to add speech output, but that's something we might expect to be in the future.unfortunately, I'm really not sure how to use this app.
6. I haven't tested that behabior outside the tutorial, but it's annoying that this happens.
7. But when searching on YouTube or opening a website I am unable to perform "search" or "go".
8. Have a few suggestions, 1) Consider a different name as you do provide 2 kinds of functionalities.
9. 3) It would be greate if one can have the control to read the scanned text again.
10. Thanks for the good work.
11. How I can do this Please tell meYour is an awesome app.
