Flick button keyboard.

@cvp
I'm sorry. English is too difficult for me to understand. -
@shinya.ta which part of my message? Do you never copy an English text in Google Translate app and ask it to translate in Japanese.
Anyway, there is a new version of Emojis Keyboard.py with two flicking keys in Japanese
-
@cvp
I read only the first tap. I don't read at all when I move. -
@cvp said:
@shinya.ta new version V00.01, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cvpe/Pythonista-scripts/master/Emojis%20Keyboard.py
I'm sorry. I understand it after I translate it on Google. There are times when I don't understand the meaning because it's too literal translation.
I have tried this version. Only the first letter is read aloud, and the moved letter is not read.
-
@shinya.ta Anyway, I don't remember how does voice over works. Do you need to type twice on a key? And how if long press?
-
@cvp
You need to tap two times. After that, you need to select characters in a long press state, but you don't read during that time. -
@shinya.ta after the long press and the move on a character, when the finger leaves the screen, the letter is inserted and readout . Do you want the letter becomes said when letter becomes blue?
-
@cvp
Please do so. The flick input button in Japan is also like that. -
@shinya.ta I try but I don't yet find a way to do that.
-
@shinya.ta VoiceOver is an IOS feature that automatically reads aloud the title of a tapped key but our flicked keys are generated by our script without iOS knows it is a simulated key, thus does not reads aloud them. I try without success to speech a key which becomes blue, but without success.
-
@cvp
Do you mean you need the own reading function of Pythonista? -
@shinya.ta yes but without success actually
-
@cvp
Do I need a Japanese voice library? -
@shinya.ta No, IOS speech module provides that but the problem I meet is that when I process the long_press handler, if I colorize the key in blue in moving, I try to speech the key title but either there is no sound, either the sound is repeated a big number of times. I have even tried to put the speech call in a thread, without success. I am not sure that keyboard process can handle several threads.

@cvp
Do you still have a hope?
If you can do this, it will be a perfect keyboard for my wife. -
@shinya.ta Yes, I still have an hope, to early to abandon, but don't ask me a delay
And the reason of your request, "for your wife" is my motivation 🙂
Edit: I just found in objectiveC Apple doc that there are some VoiceOver functionalities that developer (like I try to be 😉) may use to force VoiceOver to say something not foreseen in the standard process. But I don't know anything about that, thus wait, hope and see
Edit2: normally, I work wit sound off on my iPad and now, to test my code with VoiceOver on and sound on do annoy my wife, thus I postpone to later...
-
@shinya.ta Tried but not yet ok, does not work like I wait, not obvious, will try layer...
-
@cvp
Dear cvp.
You are my savior. I wish you success. -
@shinya.ta said
You are my savior. I wish you success.
Too optimistic and too early to say it , but thanks for the wish
My last try today: the last blue letter is read aloud when my finger leaves the screen but not when the key becomes blue, thus if you move your finger on a letter an then on another letter, the last is said when pression is ended, thus too late.

@cvp
Is it difficult after all?
