Braille application.

shinya.ta

I am thinking of an application to input text using Braille.

I'm thinking about Braille in Japanese.

Is it possible for Pythonisa?

shinya.ta

I searched for it in search field.
After all, it is in my favorite column.
I tried to import it again, but it hasn't changed.

It should be done according to the procedure, but why?

@shinya.ta what do you call "favorite column"?

cvp

@shinya.ta could you run this little script and after, paste the clipboard here in the forum
The content of your root folder will so be visible here, to check if the Braille keyboard script and the dB file are present

import os
import clipboard
l = os.listdir()
t = ''
for e in l:
    t = t+e+'\n'
clipboard.set(t)

@cvp

It's in the "FAVORITES" column.

And when you open "Open New.", you'll find it there.

Even if the program is activated, there is no response.

I converted the kanji to the normal one with iPad.

@shinya.ta If your .db file is in Favorites, you could find where it is by following these steps:

tap on its name in the Favorites
the file will open in a tab, tap on the little down arrow
tap on the folder icon
the files browser will open at left, tell what is the first line

@cvp

I looked for it.
On the first line, it is "This iPhone".
That's why it must have been installed in iPhone, but there is an error.
However, even with the same program, it functioned normally on iPad.

@cvp

It was successful.
The cause might be the reason why you downloaded it many times.
After I deleted all the unnecessary files, it became normal.

Thank you for your advice.

@shinya.ta 👍

In one hour, if you want, I'll explain you how to use it as a custom keyboard in any app using a keyboard for text input...
Or we wait until the program is exactly like your want.

cvp

@shinya.ta Add your custom keyboard

Pythonista settings
scroll until Pythonista keyboard
tap + but you can also first remove unused keyboards...to be tested
tap at right of script to choose your script
Eventually choose title, color, icon (you can do later), then add
Pythonista beta doc says what you have to do (only once) to enable the Pythonista keyboard:
"You can enable the keyboard in the Settings app (General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add New Keyboard). It already includes various script shortcuts from the examples folder that you can try right away. If you want to add your own scripts, use the new “Shortcuts...” option from the ‘wrench’ menu."
then, is the globe key, you can choose Pythonista keyboard(s) as keyboard instead of English, Japanese, Emoji, etc...

Now, in any app, you will receive Pythonista keyboard when you choose Japanese Braille

and you get

@cvp

I need six more Braille in Japanese.

が、ぎ、ぐ、げ、ご
ざ、じ、ず、ぜ、ぞ
だ、ぢ、づ、で、ど
ば、び、ぶ、べ、ぼ

ぱ、ぴ、ぷ、ぺ、ぽ

The basic six buttons have different symbols and you need to have another word.

Thank you for explaining the custom keyboard.
I'll test it right away.

Sorry, I don't understand.
Do you want 2 x 6 dots instead of 6 dots?
If yes, where to display them?
If yes, how to distinguish characters with 6 dots versus characters with 12 dots?

prefix dot n°4 = dakuten, dot n°6 = handakuten
I understand better but how to say the first 6-dots is finished?
I could for instance accept these both chars with the ok button but needing a second character before to continue...
I'll think about it but if you have a good solution of "how to do", please tell me
