I don't know if an SDK would be the way to make this, but I would like a
way to press one key stroke and make the BrailleNote do a certain action
that you programmed in. I think this is called a macro.

Hi,
If a sdk did happen. The first program I'd like to see developed is a
program which could convert an Excel style spreadsheet database such as
an
address list into the KeyList format. I've been spending the last few
days
manually typing in the staff phone / Email address list for Robyn into her
BrailleNote 32QT.
I converted the Excel address list into a text file and transferred this
file to her BrailleNote32QT. Then I opened up the text file in
BrailleNote's book reader along with Key list of course. One sure does
get
use to using function with 7 and function with 9 along with the blocking
features.
A little program to ease these types of tasks would be great. Still, I'm
open to suggestions for any other ways of accomplishing the above. Also,
I
stand to be corrected if there is already such a program out there for the
BrailleNotes.
