BaybayinPlus Keyboard 4.6.0

This application offers a BaybayinPlus keyboard feature that can be integrated as a third-party keyboard via the Settings->System->Languages & input-> On-screen keyboard menu (procedures may vary across Android versions). Furthermore, it includes an integrated translator for conversions to and from Baybayin and multiple languages.

The translator functionality supports two modes: live translation with text overlay on the camera view and snap and translate mode. The keyboard showcases semi-traditional Baybayin characters rather than the modern alphabet in its current version. An in-app Look-up table is also provided for convenient reference.

The deliberate design choice aims to aid beginners in understanding the formation of our language without the reliance on contemporary consonants and vowels.

Once the Baybayin keyboard is correctly configured in your settings, it can be utilized across all applications that support third-party keyboards. This enables you to communicate through chat, compose Facebook posts, and more in Baybayin script.

It is recommended to pre-translate words into a local dialect before converting them into Baybayin due to the raw translation nature of the default live translation feature on the app's home screen. Proper contextual usage is advised.

Embrace the opportunity to promote awareness of our historical writing systems and take pride in our heritage! Mabuhay!

For users encountering difficulties in locating the keyboard feature, rest assured that it exists provided that your operating system and device support the character sets required for Baybayin. Below are general steps to follow:

1. Access your Phone Settings (System or General Management).
2. Locate and select Languages and input.
