Since the development process of the Swift Braille soft keyboard project for the blind and visually impaired, there was a team behind the scene, a beta tester from the blind and visually impaired who are testing the new versions before releasing it to be live on the store!
Swift Braille provides a new concept with a whole new way of typing using Braille way by connecting needed Braille dots together using one hand and one finger at least, unlike available apps on apps stores!
Today, we make the whole project as open source available on GitHub to help other developers to develop this project more, or make their apps compatible with either screen readers like TalkBack and ShinePlus or accessibility services in general.
Why this step?
– I got some questions from graduated students and developers about how to make their projects compatible with accessibility services on the Android operating system, and the source code of Swift Braille could help to give a cleaner answer!
– Other developers who are developing apps for the blind and visually impaired also opened the source code of their projects, which I see it’s a very great way to support the blind community and open source in general!
– The most important thing…faster developing Swift Braille project? Hope so!
