For some reason, the Alibata characters in the keyboard are not showing, like theyre corrupted. The app seems great though it would be good if we add the modern Alibata that includes modern letters like c, x, q, z. Or better, modern sounds like z, sh, zh, j, ch, since the alphabet system is based on sounds. I would suggest that there may be shortcut icon/widget to switch ON baybayin keyboard anytime. When on default keyboard, no option to go directly to Baybayin unless I manually go to Settings.

Excellent app except for all the ads that occur so frequently that the app is unpleasant to use. There should be an option to pay for the app and remove the ads.

I installed this because of the keyboard but where is the keyboard? It's only a translator. The name should be baybayin translator not keyboard. Uninstall for now :(

About this app

This app comes with a BaybayinPlus keyboard, which can be added as 3rd party keyboard through the Settings->System->Languages & input-> On-screen keyboard (could vary some Android versions).
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.

On top of that, after the keyboard app is properly added in your settings, you can now 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, and more.

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 us continue to spread awareness of our own writing scripts and be proud of our heritage! Mabuhay

For folks having problem looking for the keyboard, it does exist as long as your OS and phone supports the character sets which the app uses for Baybayin. In general try to follow these steps:

(1) Go to your Phone Settings (System or General Management).
(2) Find and tap Languages and input.
(3) Tap on Virtual Keyboard or Onscreen keyboard under Keyboard & inputs.
(4) Tap on Manage keyboards.
(5) Choose BaybayinPlus Keyboard.

In case you still don't see the BaybayinPlus Keyboard, look for a globe icon or keyboard icon on your active keyboard or tap the lower right corner of your device's screen and keep pressing it until prompt keyboard option switch to BaybayinPlus.
