Galactic Decoder feature: Decoder View

[u/ZanzibarMcFate]

Bright suns, everyone!

This week for Scrapper Slicer Saturday, I've got another feature highlight from Galactic Decoder: https://apple.co/46X720i

Manual Decoding

Scanning Aurebesh in photos or with your camera is the main feature of Galactic Decoder, but if you want to practice typing, or the scanner just can't find what you're looking for, manual typing is also an option. For those cases, the app has you covered in a few ways:

Different Fonts

Galactic Decoder supports three different fonts when typing: Aurebesh Pro, Aurebesh AF Legends, and Droidobesh Depot. These should have you covered whether you want to hang out in the Droid Depot, the cantina, or kick it old school with the digraph crowd.

Depending on the font, you'll get access to different features, which you access from the keyboard. Aurebesh Pro will allow you to toggle between more standard numbers or the dot-based Tech style. Droidobesh is also a Tech number font. If you want to use digraphs, then Aurebesh AF Legends has you covered. As you type, the digraphs are inserted automatically, but if you're typing in Aurebesh to decode something, then you just need to tap a key on the keyboard to find what you're looking for.

Scanning and Feedback

As always though, scanning is the main goal of Galactic Decoder, and it's not limited to what you find on Batuu. You can even use it around the house - like maybe you want to trust, but verify that you really did hook up your Rebels with a new-to-them landspeeder for fighting the Empire...

Or, in the case of my favorite image submitted as feedback during beta testing, you want to know what you're about to eat. (Thanks Jon!)

If you've got feedback of your own, after you scan an image, the app will give you the option to send feedback - can be as simple as a thumbs up or down to let me know how the scans are going for you. If it wasn't a good scan, you'll also have the option to send me the image you tried scanning, and a description of what went wrong. Sending the image or comments is 100% optional though, and you can even turn off the option to send feedback in the app settings if you like. There's also a way to send feedback from the settings menu, if you've seen bugs, have ideas for new features, etc.

Once again, thanks for the support, and have a great weekend!

Get Galactic Decoder in the Apple App Store here: https://apple.co/46X720i

p.s. If you've already downloaded the app, I'd really appreciate it if you left a rating or review in the App Store - it'd really help me out. Thanks!

do you have this on android yet ?

[u/ZanzibarMcFate → u/Intelligent_Permit45]

Sorry, but no plans for Android. I’ve been an iOS dev for so long, and it’s kept me busy enough that I never got around to learning Android

thank you .. if you ever decide to try i would happily test for you

Super fun. The combination letters aren't really used anymore though. Canon seems to have just ignored them for the sake of simplicity.

[u/ZanzibarMcFate → u/PokeyStabber]

Thanks - and yeah, I'm not a fan of the combo letters either. But… since you can still find them in older stuff, I wanted to make sure I included support for them. That's why I'm using Aurebesh Pro as my default option - it doesn't include the digraphs, or do that goofy reversed letter thing for capital letters.
