You probably want the latest apk, then, as it fixes an annoying problem that 
I'm sure you're having. When adding to the end of an input area, the braille 
cursor would jump back to the beginning after typing a space. The real cursor 
was still in the right place, of course, to further characters still did get 
added to the end of the input area, and the braille cursor would go back to the 
right place as soon as a non-space was entered. The problem, ion other words, 
was that the braille cursor was placed at the start of an input area if the 
real cursor was on a space at the end of that input area.

To get the latest apk: go to brltty.com, click on Download, and then on 
Android.

>No, sorry, I don't know how to capture logs.

Do you have the adb command from Google's Android SDK? The way to get the log 
is to connect your device to your computer via USB, and then to use this 
command:

   adb logcat -v time -d >logfile

logcat is the adb command's function to copy out the log.
-v time means to include the timestamp on each line of the log.
-d means to dump the current log and then stop.
>logfile means to write the log to that file by redirecting standard output.

You can clear the log first via the command:

   adb logcat -c

Doing this before causing the problem is a good idea because, among other 
things, it removes any possibly private data from the log. It also, of course, 
keeps the captured log as small as possible.
