TapType v2.0 is out!
TapType is a keyboard for blind users — no visible keys, just tap where QWERTY keys would be and it predicts your words. Fully accessible with TalkBack.
What's new in v2.0:
Multi-language support — English (US/UK), Deutsch, Espanol. All speech, announcements, and punctuation fully translated. Switch languages right from the keyboard.
Reorganised settings into clean categories with per-language user dictionaries and punctuation.
TTS engine fixes — language switching and engine changes now work reliably.

@fireborn send help. I am trying to install the app, only for play Protect to end up not liking it. It says : "This app can request access to sensitive data. This can increase the risk of identity theft or financial fraud." It refused to install the app and told me app not installed. Do I need to turn off play protect entirely to install this or there is a way to somehow make an exception?
@quanchi It should be possible to expand more details and select install anyway. If not, then unfootunately you will have to disable play protect.
@fireborn I turned it off. It didn't provide me with an option to install anyways or else I would have kept it on. I have tried the keyboard and here are my thoughts: 1. I think the keyboard sounds are loud and on the aggressive side to my liking personally. They're in stereo as well which isn't the best for something like this in this situation. I'm thinking more along some soft click sounds instead. 2. I don't know if it's the algorithm or the fact the bottom row is on where the space bar and other buttons should be on normal keyboards, but it feels like I have to try multiple times to either write a word correctly or get it in the suggestions list. If I had to guess, I think it's probably the keyboard placement but I could be wrong. Keep up the great work. I really like it so far and like how easy it is to access all the functions in an easy way

@quanchi Thanks for the feedback. I will look into providing other sound options. I included the current ones because each one is slightly different, which allows me to type with TapType almost exclusively using the sounds, only having tts announcements for navigating the suggestions list, which I do not often need to do.

As for the predictions issue, yes, it is most likely due to the placement. you could also try making the keyboard shorter or taller to suit. Omitting that last row for numbers, space and return was an intention design choice I don't intend to change.
