ߒߞߏ Bridge — App Review Notes

**No demo account is required.** The app works entirely offline with no user accounts, login, or registration. #### Bridge View (Main Screen) 1. Launch the app — you'll see the Bridge transliteration view 2. Type any text in the Latin input field — e.g., "Bambara" or "Souleymane" 3. Observe the real-time transliteration appear in: - N'Ko script (ߒߞߏ) — right-to-left - Arabic script - IPA phonetic transcription 4. Try the reverse: tap the N'Ko input field and type N'Ko characters (if you have an N'Ko keyboard) 5. The app auto-detects which script you're typing in #### Keyboard Extension 1. Go to **Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Add New Keyboard** 2. Select **"NKo Bridge"** from the third-party keyboards list 3. Optionally enable "Allow Full Access" (not required for basic functionality — only enhances predictive text) 4. Open any app with text input (Notes, Messages, Safari, etc.) 5. Tap the 🌐 globe key to switch to the N'Ko keyboard 6. Type using the N'Ko layout — observe: - Character input in N'Ko script (right-to-left) - Predictive text suggestions in the suggestion bar (3 suggestions) - Tone mark input (long-press or dedicated keys) 7. Use the Latin transliteration mode: tap the mode switch to type Latin letters that auto-convert to N'Ko #### Cultural Library 1. Navigate to the Culture tab (bottom navigation) 2. Browse the proverbs list — 62 Manding proverbs 3. Tap any proverb to see: - Original text (Latin transliteration and/or N'Ko) - English translation - Meaning and cultural context - Category tags 4. Browse other sections: Blessings, Greetings, Clans, Calendar #### Voice Input 1. Navigate to the Bridge view 2. Tap the microphone button 3. The app will request microphone and speech recognition permissions (if not already granted) 4. Speak any Manding words or phrases 5. Observe the speech-to-text conversion and subsequent transliteration into all three scripts 6. **Note:** Voice recognition works best with clear Manding pronunciation. English or other languages may produce unexpected results — this is by design, as the app is optimized for Manding language input.
