Braille application.

@cvp

Yes.

If it's that type of keyboard, I think you can operate it.

[shinya.ta]

@cvp

To make it easier for my wife to use it, I think I can change the size and position of buttons by myself.

If it is difficult to change the size, we will review the shape again.

[cvp]

@shinya.ta Ok, before to go on, you confirm your prefer such a little keyboard usable everywhere than a full-screen keyboard like my initial script but only usable in Pythonista.
Just to be sure, please confirm because the kind of script if entirely different.
And you will need either to wait for the availability of the official new version of Pythonista, either install a beta version.
This kind of script is a custom keyboard extension, very limited in functionalities. I'm not sure we could include all what you want, we will see.

[shinya.ta]

@cvp

I see.

I'd like a keyboard with this condition until I get a new Pythonisa.

[cvp]

@shinya.ta Not sure that I have been clear enough, to have this custom keyboard, you need the new Pythonista...

[shinya.ta]

@cvp

When will the new Pythonisa come out?

[cvp]

@shinya.ta Only @omz knows it but you can install the beta version of you want.
For that, you have to install the TestFlight Apple app and then go to here

Read this topic first

[cvp]

@shinya.ta Sorry to insist one more time, understood that your custom keyboard will be something like this on an iPhone, see height of area of red dots.

[shinya.ta]

@cvp

That image is best.
It exactly matches my image.

[cvp]

@shinya.ta and you agree you will have a so little area for the six Braille dots?

[shinya.ta]

@cvp

Yes, I agree.

[cvp]

@shinya.ta ok
I'll let you go to sleep 😀

My next steps are:

• transform my script into a custom keyboard (not so easy)
• debug the problem you met with dots not always taken
• test this first part in an other app than Pythonista, with actually only hiragana
• try to find a way to convert hiragana into kanji

I hope that all this is not too urgent for you, but I'll let you know how the project goes on.

Perhaps, you should install the beta version so you will be able to test when I'll post a first version of this custom keyboard.

@shinya.ta said:

みずうみ→湖
かわ→川

I try to build a conversion "hiragana into kanji"
To test it, I wanted to use your post
みずうみ -> 湖
かわ -> 川

But my conversion gives

みずうみ -> 湖 (like you)
かわ -> 鈹 (not like you)

Thus, do I go on?

[shinya.ta]

@cvp

かわ→川→River.
Another meaning.
かわ→皮→Skin.

Kanji is difficult.

[cvp]

@shinya.ta I know that it is difficult but that will say that conversion could be erroneous..
I'll go on and in a few days, I'll post a first version of my script, normally to be used with the new Pythonista version in all apps as custom keyboard but also usable, thus testable, in Pythonista of actual version.
Let me some time please and you will be able to test it your self with your Pythonista version and tell me what I need to correct.

[shinya.ta]

@cvp

There is no mistake in conversion.
I don't understand the meaning only with hiragana, so many conversion lists appear.

[cvp]

@shinya.ta I wrote a little conversion script so you could test the way I do it.
It uses a data base of Hiragana to Kanji...from here
Could you try to download this file by

• tapping Download
• options
• Run Pythonista3 script
• Import file

and tell me if the file is arrived in your Documents (root of Pythonista)

[cvp]

@shinya.ta If you have been able to download the .db file,
please test it with this little script
where you have to type your Hiragana syllables in the TextField, then press return.
You will get the list of Kanji's related to your input.

[shinya.ta]

@cvp

I'm sorry.

I have never used GitHub, so I don't know how to use the sign-in.

[cvp]

@shinya.ta I don't think that you need to login
