TapType 1.0.1 is out. Fixes a bunch of passthrough issues people reported on day one.
The big ones: passthrough no longer breaks other keyboards when TalkBack is on, and it should now work on Android 16 (was using a hardcoded display ID that Android 16 doesn't like). It also clears instantly when you hide or switch away from TapType instead of lingering for a second.
Voice input no longer fails if you don't have a voice keyboard enabled. TapType falls back to the system speech recognizer directly now.
Keyboard height is no longer a fixed size. It scales to your screen: 1/3 for short, 2/3 for medium (default), 90% for tall. Should feel much better on larger phones where it was way too small before.

TapType is out. It's a keyboard for blind Android users.
There are no visible keys. You tap where QWERTY keys would be from muscle memory, and a spatial prediction algorithm figures out what you meant. It scores nearby keys using a Gaussian proximity model and runs a beam search against an 80,000 word dictionary. You don't need to be precise. That's the whole point.
Swipe right to commit a word. Swipe down or up to cycle through suggestions. Swipe left to delete. It learns what words you use most and ranks them higher over time, and you can add your own words to a personal dictionary.
Every letter has its own unique sound, from Andre Louis's keyboard sound recordings, so you can learn to identify keys by ear without relying on speech. Each swipe direction has a distinct sound too. TTS is there when you want it, adjustable speed, and you can turn it off entirely if you prefer sounds only.
It has emoji search with skin tone selection and favourites, a number pad mode, an upper case mode, and full punctuation support with a customizable quick list. Two-finger gestures handle things like send, close keyboard, switch keyboard, and voice input.
Everything works with TalkBack. I built this because FlickType was a fantastic keyboard for blind iOS users and then it was gone. Nothing like it existed on Android, so I made one.
It's free, no ads, no tracking, no metrics. I'm not evil.

Update z mojej nauki gry na klawiszu. Póki co pogrywam 4 krótkie kawałki ale bardzo mnie to relaksuje.
We mieście mam klawiaturę midi M-Audio a na wsi Casio CT-S1 WE.
Obie są 61 klawiszy bo mi wystarczy tyle.
Różnice?
M_Audio trochę głośne klawisze - stukają .
Casio ma bardzo przyjemne szorstkie i cichutkie choć trzeba uważać bo jak się za delikatnie uderzy klawisz to instrument nie zarejestruje nutki.
Ale zdecydowanie wolę Casio. Nie muszę podłączać nic bo dźwięki w ilości wystarczającej już są, są i głośniczki. Wersja biała bardzo mi się podoba. Jestem bardzo zadowolony. Brzmienia też ma ciekawe.Więc jak zagram te parę nutek z pianina to zmieniam na kościelne organy albo jakieś rockowe, czy smyczki i gram jeszcze raz. Kupując na wieś normalny instrument trochę mam nadzieję że może ktoś z młodziaków w wakacje załapie bakcyla.
Z kolei klawisz midi o tyle jest fajny że testuję aplikację do nauki Skoove Piano i jest fajna choć zdecydowanie za droga... No i w trybie midi lepiej rejecstruje klawisze niż normalnie przez mikrofon.

Check this woman's transposition of a Mozart sonata (yes, that one) into different MODES ~ major LOLs -- Makes me want to listen to Copeland, clear my ears
She does two (link takes you to first one) back to back, about 1 min total. Glass of wine/ chewable = optional.
