Visual BrailleAcademy

This is great. Already completed chapter two. It really would be nice if I would come to learn of the person who lead me to the wanting to know more beside the meshapotmia not spelling it right but it was way back then In the days. Still in search of the devices and the books. The information I got online seem legit, it’s just the judgement ones who are in the quack quack of what I am not. Like this email. It’s suppose to be half of mine you know. I have an account that was recently created and my it’s a uninstalling game,. High amount how can I get it back? Could that happen. I never did get into any other account of mine and damn. Back to subject.Morse mania lip reading maritime and chat are also good ones

Braille Academy

It good

But in all seriousness it is good, and has a good message behind it. It’s meant to help learn braille which is good for including all people whether they’re blind or not

Really useful

It’s a fairly basic flash card style app, but the staging and guide made it surprisingly quick to learn.
Really good but no frills

Helping a friend

Im learning to read braille to he a good friend hes blind and i hve to make labels the machine i useis slower then a couple of his slates hes teaching me on

Great app and developer

I love this developer’s work and support them by purchasing in-app upgrades. I LOVE Morsemania and this app is almost as good. Naturally it can only teach you to recognize the patterns visually, which defeats the purpose of braille, but that’s nobody’s fault. As an introduction to the system, this is really good. And I love the look of this app. The design of this bs Morsemania is like buying a new car- same model but the latest version. It looks sleeker and up to date. Only issue is that it doesn’t have all the features that Morsemania has, even after upgrading. The Explore section doesn’t allow you to set up a custom practice. The setting don’t allow you to increase the difficulty if practice via shorter response times or more rapid fire flashcards. Morsemania also allows you to turn off the individual letter progress rings so that you truly don’t know what’s coming next. Lastly, there is now write section equivalent to the Send section in Morsemania. I am curious to look into taking a real course in Braille Transcriber Certification and this app has the potential to be a good introduction to that. Maybe practice writing words and abbreviations.

After completing Morsemania, I found that my pattern memorization was sharply honed and I learned the Braille forms in an hour. All the more shame that there isn’t more to this app.

This app is still worth buying. I just wish it were as fully developed as Morsemania.
