## What is Regitel?

Type braille Unicode characters in any app — Notes, Messages, Instagram, X, and more.

Regitel is a custom iPhone keyboard that converts your taps into braille Unicode on the fly. No converter, no copy-paste. Just open Regitel and start typing braille directly into any text field, anywhere on your phone.

■ Japanese Braille (JIS X 4061)
Covers the core JIS X 4061 standard: vowels, consonants, voiced (゛) and semi-voiced (゜) sounds, contracted syllables, long vowels, and punctuation — each converted to the correct braille Unicode cell.

■ English Braille Grade 1 (UEB)
All 26 letters mapped to their Unified English Braille cells. Shift key cycles through off → one-shot → caps lock for uppercase input.

■ Works System-Wide
Regitel is a system keyboard extension. Enable it once in Settings, and it's available in every app — no special mode, no extra steps.

■ Flick Input
Uses the familiar Japanese flick gesture you already know. Tap for the main character, flick up/down/left/right for variants. Fast and comfortable.

■ One-Tap Field Conversion
Tap the braille button (top-left) to convert the whole text field to braille Unicode instantly. Tap again to convert back to regular text. Useful for reviewing what you've typed.

■ Dakuten Cycle
Tap the dakuten key to retroactively cycle the previous character: base → voiced (゛) → semi-voiced (゜) → small kana → base. No retyping needed.

■ Fully Offline
Regitel works entirely on-device. No internet connection required. No data is collected, stored, or transmitted.
