Braille Tutor
Finally an app that addresses contractions. I have used this app to meet several needs inlcuding drill and practice for students, support staff, and review for myself. The app has some nice features and will soon support both input and output to or from a braille display. I appreciate the developers willingness to hear and respond to suggestions. One future feature that I am hoping for is the ability to have multiple users information tracked and places saved. I would love to be able to see some data showing their progress or areas needing more support. This app has been worth the small investment.
