Re: [Mobile.AI] my views on Simpleye.
It made me crazy! I tried for two days, simply uninstalled it. If I tried to add the shortcut of an app in its option of android apps, as soon as I launch the app, the app start with out screen reader. Its so funny.

Re: [Mobile.AI] my views on Simpleye.
Tried it, didn't like the idea of a separate launcher for blind users, I wanted something that works with and enhances TalkBack. I do like and support the idea of a separate keyboard being provided with the option to use it as default one in place of the Google Keyboard or which ever native keyboard built-in by the manufacturer.

[Mobile.AI] my views on Simpleye.
Hello all, greetings of the day. A few days back we were eagerly waiting for the launch of a new accessibility app which was supposed to become an alternative way of typing on Android devices for the visually impaired people. I have tried this app a little and here are my views on it: It is a launcher app with limited functions. we can just dial and receive calls, send messages, go through some news articles, listen to music, create voice and text notes and use clock and calculator functions. as far as launcher is concerned, i'm not in favour of using this type of launchers because of their limited utility. I prefer a main stream launcher with accessibility features. the most important and promising feature of the app is its Braille keyboard. the layout of the keypad is similar to a cell of a braille writing device containing six dots. the screen is divided into six blocks representing six dots, three on left and the other three on the right side of the screen. we have to slide our finger on these blocks to write a character, swipe right and hold with two fingers to add a space and swipe left and hold with two fingers to delete previous character. we can swipe down and hold with two fingers to listen to typed text. as far as the layout of the keyboard is concerned, I liked it more than the recently launched app: "MBraille." but, there are many areas where the developers of the app will have to work hard. a few of these are: 1. the app launches automatically even after exiting it. so we have two options if we don't want to use the app for a while, either to force stop or uninstall it. 2. At present we can not copy the text we type using the braille keyboard. "MBraille" provides this facility. in "mBraille" the typed text automatically gets copyed on the clipboard, as soon as we switch to another app. I am hopeful that "simpleye" creators will add this feature in future versions. without the ability to copy the typed text the app doesn't fulfill its purpose. 3. The devs of the app should develop the braille keyboard separately as an alternate to the google keyboard and there should be an option to select it as default keyboard. 4. the jestures to add a space or delete previous character are time consuming and works like a spead breaker. 5. there should be a jesture to delete previous word. 6. the app currently speaks the characters only as we type. it should also speak the word after adding the space. 7. the jesture for exiting the keyboard should be changed to double tap and hold because the current jesture (single tap and hold) sometimes gets performed unintentionally. so these are my suggestions to the Kriyate team if they are on the list.list members are also requested to express their views . our feedback will help the devs to develop the app. -- S.
