Description

Scribe is a pack of iOS and iPadOS keyboards for language learners! It provides features to help users remember grammar rules so they can effectively communicate without ever leaving their keyboard.

Included Languages:

French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.

Current Features:

- The Translate feature can translate single words or phrases from English into the language of the current keyboard.

- With the Conjugate feature, a user is presented with the grammar charts for an entered verb instead of the keyboard. Pressing an example in the charts inserts the chosen conjugation into the text field.

- The Plural feature allows a user to enter a noun and then insert its plural into the text field.

- Scribe further annotates noun genders and preposition cases in the command bar to help users understand the context of what they're typing. Annotations are displayed once a user has typed a given word and pressed space, by pressing the Scribe key while a word is selected as well as under autocompletions and autosuggestions.

- For languages with pronoun declension, Scribe also allows for the case annotation to be clicked and then the user can select the pronoun they want based on case, subject and object.

Being fully open-source including data from Wikidata, the Scribe team loves to get both feedback and contributions. Please visit us at https://github.com/scribe-org/Scribe-iOS!

- Menu screens can be swiped between via an implementation using SwipeableTabBarController.
- Menu options have descriptions of their functionality listed beneath them (github:scribe-org/Scribe-iOS#330, github:scribe-org/Scribe-iOS#372).
- German indefinite pronouns are now selectable from the case-declension display (github:scribe-org/Scribe-iOS#303).
- German imperfect verb conjugations now insert both the auxiliary verb and the past participle with the cursor between them.
- Tab and caps lock keys and their functionalities have been added to expanded iPad layouts (github:scribe-org/Scribe-iOS#371).

- Portuguese: 2 verbs
- Russian: 119 nouns, 3 verbs

Design Changes

- iPad keyboards are now more reflective of their system keyboard counterparts for devices above a certain width (github:scribe-org/Scribe-iOS#33, github:scribe-org/Scribe-iOS#352).
- Vertical spacing between keys on iPads has been decreased so that keys are more square and thus more in line with system keyboards.
- The border was removed from the Scribe key and command bar so that now only the shadow delineates them (github:scribe-org/Scribe-iOS#423).
- The command bar in dark mode is now the same color as the special keys, and minor adjustments to the keyboard colors have been made to account for this (github:scribe-org/Scribe-iOS#441).
- In dark mode the icons and buttons are now the CTA orange color text over the same color with a high transparency (github:scribe-org/Scribe-iOS#441).

Bug Fixes

- The transition from between portrait and landscape mode was dramatically improved (github:scribe-org/Scribe-iOS#25).
- Annotations under autosuggestions and autocompletions are no longer distorted during an orientation transition (github:scribe-org/Scribe-iOS#396).
- Bugs were fixed that were causing autocompletions to trigger too regularly (github:scribe-org/Scribe-iOS#305).
- Fixes a bug where the names from the UI lexicon were not being loaded into the keyboards (github:scribe-org/Scribe-iOS#292, fixes github:scribe-org/Scribe-iOS#201).
