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.

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.
