Description

Learn and practice contracted braille (Unified English Braille) with Braille Tutor!

Braille Tutor provides an interactive learning experience for a sighted or blind braille learner. It works on iPad using onscreen keys or home keys on a Bluetooth keyboard. It is self-voiced, but also works with iOS accessibility.

The app uses sounds and text-to-speech to support vision-impaired learners. Using a Bluetooth keyboard also gives the user a feel of the keys.

Additional lessons are available as an InApp purchase.

"Great App! :) Very good for consolidating braille skills learned, particularly at home / places where a learner might not have access to a Brailler."

Good app

I’ve started using this app and it’s nice practice. I’d like to see some more sentences added, but I agree mostly with another reviewer that it needs a backspace. There have been times where I must not have perfectly touched one of the buttons and it’d show a different letter than what I tried to press. I knew right away it was a mistake, but couldn’t fix it!

Otherwise, really nice. I may purchase the rest of the lessons, we’ll see!

Shows Great potential

This app has a great deal of potential. I have just begun to use it and have not tried it with a braille display as of yet. It is the first app I have seen that teaches and provides drills for contractions. The add on lessons are reasonably priced. I would love to see a "backspace" option. While using the app I made several mistakes and knew it but could not correct my errorrs by erasing. Great start. Looking forward to see what is next.

Best App

This app has been my saving grace! I use it at the end of a one-on-one lesson in Braille instruction. This has been super motivational! On a side note, I wanted to get this app on my students’ iPads but can’t find it in the App Store. I will keep looking as this would be helpful in remote learning!
