Nowhere near worth the price. It barely works; you may have just got done with a 200 word text that you'll try to send but end up finding out that it didn’t pick up anything that you wrote. That is the most infuriating thing about this app. That along with the fact that it has a ridiculous learning curve with no built-in tutorial is madness. It also doesn’t work in brousers, so that is not worth 10 bucks either

This app may turn out to be a revolutionary break-through for blind Android users familiar with Braille. Features are great and imense possibilities ahead! Yes there are learning curves and the need to find correct settings at the beginning, but once you get on it there’s no coming back! Hope the Great Work continues! There are glitchs but this five stars is for the great idea being put to work!!!

I do like this keyboard. I can type quickly and have no problems anymore, because developer kindly added Lithuanian language and we just only asked. I would like to have some more shortcuts, like copy / paste, read all the paragraph by doing some gesture, also app do not destinguishing capital and lowercase letters, so please fix.

best keyboard i have ever used, and my only complain is, that i shouldn't have to here what i’m typing at all time, there should be a word echo, or character echo, the user should have the right to change these settings, over all good work guys. and it was my pleasure helping you with the project, i was arround since day one. thank you all.
