The best ever

It is missing a lot of contractions, so much so that it is not useful for a learner. It doesn't have the contraction for 'forward' for example. A learner who comes across a cluster of three constanants and the symbol for 'ar' under their fingers for the first time and asks a sighted companion to check it on the app will be frustrated. You're far better getting a copy from code from RNIB or Hadley. This is a good idea for a sighted person, but is very incomplete. Shame, it could be great.

*ea* contractions issue. When I put in words like "ocean", which have a dot 2 contraction when in the middle of the word, no suggestions are made.
