[BRLTTY] OT: On screen Braille keyboard for Android (Soft Braille Keyboard)

[Daniel Dalton]

My keyboard is only available on Google play.

Shoot me an email off list if you want a trial apk. You'll at least be able
to test it out on your device without google play for a month or two and
see if it actually works first.
