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.

Edit: Now on 2.0 with multiple languages supported.

"Whoever submits hallucinated references pretends to have a scientific foundation that doesn’t exist. This misleads reviewers and readers and undermines trust in science. This is an individual decision for which individuals are responsible. Structure may explain some things, but it doesn’t absolve. Individual responsibility remains."

RE: https://mastodon.social/@MastodonEngineering/116103936616513460

We are looking at growing the Mastodon team with two new backend developers. We are starting some ambitious projects and need help!

You need to have a significant experience with Ruby on Rails as this is our framework of choice, but we are also looking for experience in search algorithms, protocol specifications, Rust or Go and project management (this one to assist me in tracking everything we are working on).

If you are interested, please apply using the form provided in the job description.

This is truly glorious #AISlop from #Microslop in their "Introduction to Github" course.

I don't know why Tim is working in the opposite direction, but I can see that he never once "morges" his code back into develop, let alone doing it "continvoucly"

Update:

It looks as though after 4-5 months the page has been updated, but if you want to see the image in situ still then the way back machine has you covered.

Hello!
Je suis prof de maths en collège et j'ai depuis 1 semaine une élève de 6eme qui arrive de Mayotte. Elle a été scolarisé quelques mois en métropole, mais avant ça sa scolarité a été très décousue. Elle ne maîtrise pas les bases de cycles 2 (exemple : elle ne sait pas écrire 200 et m'écris 002. Elle ne sait pas lire le nombre 1 900, les nombres décimaux n'en parlons même pas...). Je n'ai pas encore eu l'occasion de voir ses connaissances en géométries, mais cela ne doit pas être mieux.
Je me sens totalement démuni face à cette élève qui est adorable et demandeuse d'apprendre, mais qui sait à peine lire seule et qui ne comprend pas des consignes simples.
Elle est inclue dans tout les cours de maths de sa classe.
Je suis à la recherche de documents à lui donner pour travailler ces bases qui lui manquent pendant que j'avance avec la classe sur le programme de 6eme.
typiquement des fiches avec en haut un peu de lecon et en dessous des exercices accompagnés d'exemples, sur les notions d'école primaires qu'elle ne maîtrise pas. Elle ne pourra pas rattraper ses camarades en 5 mois, mais si elle pouvait acquérir le vocavulaire (notamment en geometrie) et les notions de numération et de calculs "basique" afin de pouvoir appréhender le cycle 4 l'an prochain, ce serait l'idéal.
Si vous avez des idées de ou trouver de bonnes ressources (et avec un ordre logique de prévu, car enseignant au collège, l'ordre des notions en primaire je ne maîtrise pas du tout...)

Vous pouvez booster!
Merci d'avance !
