About BaybayinPlus Keyboard
This app comes with a BaybayinPlus keyboard, which can be added as 3rd party keyboard through the Settings->General->Keyboards menu of iOS devices.
There is also a translator to and from Baybayin and several languages. The translator can either be live (text overlay on camera view) or snap and translate mode.
The keyboard is a semi-traditional Baybayin characters and not the modern alphabet (as of this version).
There is also a Look-up table in the app for easy reference.
I intentionally made it like this to let the early learners understand how our own words were shaped without the need of all modern day consonants and vowels.
The keyboard app, if properly added in your settings, allows user to use Baybayin keyboard in all apps that allow third party keyboard. That means you can have a chat in Baybayin, type a Facebook post in Baybayin, type Baybayin notes, and more. Just tap the Globe icon in your keyboard to switch to the Baybayin keyboard after addition via Settings.
It would be best that before any word gets converted to Baybayin it should be translated to a local dialect first. The live translation which is the default Home Screen of the app is raw translation. Use this with proper context.
So enjoy and let's continue to spread awareness of our own writing scripts and be proud of our heritage! Mabuhay
