Hi Les, yes there will be a lag time between when we release electronically and when we ship, so you can download the release and it will very easily fit on that card. Jonathan Mosen BrailleNote Product Marketing Manager HumanWare

I'm glad you outlined the features that will be in this release. I have an SMA, and since at the time, I didn't have an SD card, I opted to have HW send the upgrades on SD. Now that I have an SD card, I'm wondering if I can also download the upgrade; I have a 512 MB Kingston SD card, and assuming I can download this, will that card accommodate the installation of KeySoft 7? Thanks.

HumanWare will be releasing KeySoft 7 in mid-January 2006, and it's our biggest and best release ever! Whether you have a BrailleNote or VoiceNote mPower, a BrailleNote PK, or a BrailleNote or VoiceNote Classic, there's a version of KeySoft 7 that will be available for you. KeySoft 7 takes one count from your Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA). An SMA allows you to receive two major versions of KeySoft for the price of one. Remember, SMAs only can be used for a version of KeySoft if they are purchased prior to the release of the software concerned. So if you are not yet an SMA holder, ensure you get the best deal on KeySoft 7 plus the next major release of KeySoft by purchasing your SMA now. What a great holiday present for you or that special BrailleNote user in your life. Note that the cost of KeySoft 7 on its own is exactly the same as the cost of an SMA, so an SMA represents by far the best value for money. Contact HumanWare or your local dealer for KeySoft 7 pricing. Please note that KeySoft 7 will not run on the original BrailleNote, discontinued in 2002, that does not have a compact flash slot in the back of the unit. The latest version of KeySoft that runs on these units is 4.02. By BrailleNote Classic, we refer to the BrailleNotes and VoiceNotes prior to BrailleNote and VoiceNote mPower that have a compact flash slot in the back of the units. Original BrailleNote owners should contact Humanware about transplanting to BrailleNote mPower. What's in KeySoft 7? We promised that KeySoft 7 would be our best release ever, and as you look at this extensive feature list, you can see we've packed in a wide range of features that will change the way you work, learn and play. Key Base, Available on All Models With KeyBase, you've got it sorted! This new application, available from KeySoft's Main Menu, is a powerful database manager allowing easy creation of your own databases. KeyBase ships with many useful databases to assist you in cataloging your music collection, keeping track of home inventory, entering recipes, logging ham radio contacts and so much more. But the step by step wizard-style interface of KeyBase makes it a snap to create your own databases too. Simply tell KeyBase the names of your fields and the type of data you want to store in that field. Be specific right down to the kind of Braille you want to be entered into a field if you wish. Want to share your database with others? Then you can even customize the messages users read when they press the help key when entering data into each field. KeyBase allows easy importing and exporting to and from many applications including Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access and many on-line banking systems. KeyPlus Just Got Smarter with Fractions, Available on All Models Work with fractions in the updated KeyPlus Scientific Calculator. As well as performing standard mathematical operations, you can convert fractions to decimals and vice versa, convert fractions to and from percentages, convert a fraction to its lowest terms, and much more. Let the Games Begin, available on all models One of the most frequent questions asked of HumanWare about the BrailleNote family has always been, "can you play games on this?" Now, the answer is a resounding yes, as interactive fiction comes to KeySoft. Interactive fiction, also known as text adventures, will take you into mysterious worlds where you can look at your environment, move around, collect objects, talk to all kinds of strange creatures and sometimes find yourself trapped. There are hundreds of compatible interactive fiction games available for download on the Internet, ranging from educational titles for kids right through to epic fantasy for the serious gamer, and you can play them right on your BrailleNote or VoiceNote. Easily switch in and out of games when you need to check e-mail or make a note, play music in the background while you solve the latest mystery, or save games for later resumption. Braille Input for JAWS for Windows, available on all models Window-eyes users have for some time been able to control their Windows PC from their BrailleNote in Braille terminal mode. Now, that feature is available for JAWS for Windows users as well. Compose e-mail, write a Microsoft Word document or work with your spreadsheets on your PC, all from your BrailleNote's keyboard. More Configurable E-mail, available on all models Some Internet service providers are now using non-standard POP and SMTP server ports as an attempt to increase security. While most users will not need to be concerned with this, those customers on Internet providers adopting this approach can now specify any port for both POP and SMTP traffic. More Bluetooth Support, available on BrailleNote and VoiceNote mPower, and BrailleNote PK The integrated Bluetooth support in BrailleNote and VoiceNote mPower and BrailleNote PK just got even more useful! In KeySoft 7 you can, * Use your device as a remote synthesizer for your PC with no wires attached. Take your BrailleNote or VoiceNote mPower or BrailleNote PK up to 10 meters (30 feet) away from your PC and still hear what your screen reader is saying. * Use your device as a wireless Braille display. With BrailleNote mPower and PK operating as a wireless Braille display, coupled with the keyboard input functionality, you have complete control over your PC as far as 10 meters (30 feet) away from your PC. Take the BrailleNote outside on a sunny day and keep on working on your PC using the keyboard input functionality. Control a PowerPoint presentation in front of your audience, even when the PC is tucked away in an inconvenient place. The possibilities are limitless! * Drive a wireless visual display. Want to give a presentation using data on your BrailleNote? Are you a teacher who wants to be able to check a student's work with no wires or fuss? The extension of the visual display function to include Bluetooth makes all this possible. Use a range of devices for the visual display function including Palm Pilots and Windows HyperTerminal. Voice Recorder for BrailleNote PK The popular voice recorder for BrailleNote mPower arrives on BrailleNote PK in KeySoft 7. Just press the handy record button on the front of your BrailleNote PK, and make recordings using the built-in microphone. Eloquence Speech for BrailleNote and VoiceNote mPower HumanWare's BrailleNote and VoiceNote mPower becomes the first device of its kind to offer you a choice of speech synthesizer. Use the highly responsive and accurate KeyNote Gold speech that has been one of KeySoft's strongest features, or switch to the familiar Eloquence speech that is now widely available on access technology products. When Eloquence is active, you may also choose to have hyperlinks voiced in a different Eloquence voice when using KeyWeb, making the web really come to life. Fm Radio for BrailleNote and VoiceNote mPower That's right, your BrailleNote or VoiceNote mPower is now an FM radio too! Scan the FM band for your stations and save them as presets. Read the frequency on the Braille display or the station name if you've saved that information. Listen to the FM radio while you work on other tasks. Control the volume of the FM radio separately from the volume of the speech. Even use the recorder to record FM radio stations. Don't Miss KeySoft 7 We told you KeySoft 7 would be our most exciting release ever, and as you can see, we weren't kidding. Make sure you have a current Software maintenance Agreement so you can download your copy of KeySoft 7 in mid-January. KeySoft 7 from HumanWare will change the way you work, learn and play. ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
