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

[Mallard]

Hey there,

I can vouch for this app. It's the greatest thing I've come across since 
I started using Android on my Galaxy s3, as long as four years ago...

It'll be interesting to know whether it works on your device as well.
Get an apk from Daniel, and keep us posted...
Ciao,
Ollie
