I think a grammar check would make Keyword too much like MS Word and you wouldn't have to think for yourself. That's not good.
What Humanware should do is make Keyword conform to the standard margins of inches and/or centimeters. There should be 100 placemarkers instead of 26. Documents should be printed or embossed while they're open. All codes should be hidden and visible only when we want to see them. Since there are so many lockups, a timed backup should be implemented. The BN needs to be able to support plug-and-play printers. How this can be done with its present platform, I don't know. Duxbury translation tables should be included so more foreign languages could be covered. Nemeth code and UK math code tables should be implemented. A pronunciation dictionary should be changed so thousands of words could be added to it. The ability to hear music braille pronounced correctly would be nice for those who have only speech. A utility to convert html to KeyWord and Keyword to html should be added. The ability to automatically add opening and closing computer braille signs should be added. Along with that, there should be automatic hyphens placed in the appropriate place when a URL or email address takes up more than one line. Better conversion between Keyword and WP, Duxbury and Word should be implemented. Most of these suggestions are practical and should be possible. Humanware would be ahead of the game if they could be the first to implement back translation for math. I don't know of any program which will translate Nemeth code into text.
