I have an 18-cell BN being updated to an M-power and when it returns I
plan
to send in the 32 cell. I paid my service agreements in early November
for
both units which were the classic BNs with the new mother boards and the
compact flash slot in the back.
I understood that the new units would be covered for the first year, but,
when I bought the 32 cell in 2003 and then upgraded the motherboard on the
18-cell later that same year and then called HumanWare in 2004 they said
my
service agreements had not been renewed in 2003, with one new unit and one
upgraded unit I was told I would not need to upgrade until 2004, however,
as
some may remember, in December 2004 I paid out $1800 to upgrade both units
to be eligible for 6.11.
So, now the question is, what is the status on the service, do I need to
shell out more money after just paying for service on the units in
November
to have the M-power's covered?

How can I check that I have an up-to-date SMA? well I mean how many
conts I have left on mine, or if I need to buy a new one. Heck, the
interactive fiction add-on is a great idea. :)

KEYSOFT 7 IS COMING!
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.
