Braille application.

cvp

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

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

I think I'll solve it but for the end of the week-end
See start point of my work

shinya.ta

@cvp

That way is good. I'd like to accept both of these letters with the OK button and decide the second letter before proceeding.

shinya.ta

@cvp

And I would like to have a cursor move button that I made before.
I want to just move the left and right cursor movements.

Two new buttons between dots 3 and 6?

shinya.ta

@cvp

And you need a Japanese speech.

shinya.ta

@cvp

Yes, I would like to have a button in between.

cvp

@shinya.ta I hope you don't want all of that not too quickly...

Cursor buttons like this?

Speech automatically or asked via a button?

@shinya.ta said:

ぺ

I understand that a first character with only dot 5 transforms か into が
and dot 6 transforms へ into ぺ

but your list and the list of http://www.yoihari.com/tenji/tdaku.htm
are not the same.
Thus you have to give me the list of accepted characters for each prefix.

shinya.ta

@cvp

http://www.yoihari.com/tenji/tdaku.htm

This list is correct.

I need a Japanese speech for Pythonisa.

You can write the proper words on the Speech over the Japanese speech of PythonIsa and the Voice over the iPhone.

I'm surprised, for instance,
are you're sure that ぎ is

I suppose that the list of existing dots is ok but the generated image would be different...

cvp

@shinya.ta Please confirm that this list and their graphical representation is correct
the dots are prefix 5 or 6 | normal dots

か が 5|16
き ぎ 5|126
く ぐ 5|146
け げ 5|1246
こ ご 5|246
さ ざ 5|156
し じ 5|1256
す ず 5|1456
せ ぜ 5|12456
そ ぞ 5|2456
た だ 5|135
ち ぢ 5|1235
つ づ 5|1345
て で 5|12345
と ど 5|2345
は ば 5|136
ひ び 5|1236
ふ ぶ 5|1346
へ べ 5|12346
ほ ぼ 5|2346
は ぱ 6|136
ひ ぴ 6|1236
ふ ぷ 6|1346
へ ぺ 6|12346
ほ ぽ 6|2346

for those who would be intellectually interested, I have generated that by a little script,
after having discovered that the only difference between this 6-dots prefix is the last half-byte to which is added 1 or a 2 (ex: x8b -> x8c)

def p(dots,prefix,ch):											# ex: 5,か
	d = 1 if prefix == '5' else 2				# ex: 5 -> 1           6 -> 2
	b = ch.encode('utf-8')							# ex: b'\xe3\x81\x8b'
	n = b[:-1] + bytes([int(b[-1])+d])	# ex: b'\xe3\x81\x8c'
	c = str(n,'utf-8')									# ex: か -> が          へ -> ぺ 
	print(ch,c,dots)
	
for ele in Japanese_Braille.keys():
	if '|' in ele:											# ex: 5|1345
		prefix = ele[0]										# ex: 5
		k = ele[2:]												# ex:	1345
		ch = Japanese_Braille[k]					# ex: つ
		p(ele,prefix,ch)

New Version 0.7

# Version 0.7
# - bug corrected: sqlite3 operationalerror accessing HiraganaToKanji.db
#                  was not intercepted
# - new: cursor left and right move buttons
# - new: support Hirgana with one/dot prefix for (han)dakuten

To input characters with dakuten or handakuten like が or ぴ

tap the prefix dot 5 or 6
tap ✅ to say that the dots are ended
the program recognizes this as a prefix and waits for a second dots set
tap all dots of normal character like 1236 for ひ
tap ✅
the accentuated hirgana is generated like ぴ

This version does not yet support speech, for this, I wait that you explain when and what has to be spoken...ex: the Kanji when it is sent to the TextField

Perhaps, one day 😀,you will also ask me to support Yō-on which is supported in Japanese Braille

@cvp

I took a test.
It's great.

And I'd like to have a text field and a speech on the conversion list.
