Subject: [Braillenote] KeySoft 7.2 is Out next Week!
HumanWare will be releasing KeySoft 7.2 on Wednesday 6 September New
Zealand time, making your BrailleNote
or VoiceNote even more useful and efficient.
Whether you have a BrailleNote or VoiceNote mPower, a BrailleNote PK, or a
BrailleNote or
VoiceNote Classic, there is a version of KeySoft 7.2 that will be
available for you.
KeySoft 7.2 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, an SMA
can only be used for a version of KeySoft if it is purchased prior to the
release of the software
concerned. So if you are currently running KeySoft 7 and not yet an SMA
holder, ensure you get
the best deal on KeySoft 7.2 by purchasing your SMA now. Those running
version 6 or lower
will first need to upgrade to KeySoft 7 to be eligible to purchase an SMA.
Contact HumanWare or your distributor for KeySoft 7.2 pricing.
What's in KeySoft 7.2?
DAISY Support (available on BrailleNote and VoiceNote mPower, and
BrailleNote PK)
Your BrailleNote or VoiceNote is about to become your digital book player.
HumanWare is the world leader in DAISY playback technology, through our
Victor Reader products. Now, we have incorporated Victor Reader technology
right into KeySoft. Listen to DAISY audio books, with the flexibility to
speed up and slow down the narration and change the tone of the audio. Set
bookmarks, and create text notes. Text only
DAISY books are instantly translated into your preferred grade of Braille.
With books that offer both text and audio, you have the best of both
worlds.
Choose to read in Braille for detailed study, and let the narrator read to
you when it suits. Move through DAISY elements, or use the familiar
KeySoft
sentence and paragraph navigation commands in text DAISY books if you
prefer.
Working with Files Is Easier (available on all models)
KeySoft allows extensive manipulation of files from any file list.
Anywhere you can see a list of files, you can copy, erase, move, protect,
unprotect and
rename a file. Now, it is possible to mark files for action. Move through
a list of files, mark those files that you need to take action on, and the
file
manipulation commands can be applied to the group of files.
Now, when you look through a file list using the Directory option in File
Manager, pressing ENTER on any file will launch its associated
application.
Pressing ENTER on an mp3 file for example will immediately cause it to
start playing in the Media Player.
In any file list, it is now easier to get it sorted. You can still sort
files alphabetically as you have always done, however you can now also
sort by date and
by size. Sorting by size is a great way of finding those pesky large files
that are consuming FLASH Disk space. Sorting by date makes it easier to
trace the
progress of a project whose files are contained in their own folder.
e-mail Signatures (available on all models)
KeySoft 7.2 adds the ability to set up two e-mail signatures. Configure an
e-mail signature for messages you generate, and another for messages you
forward or reply to. You can see the text of the signature right in the
body of any e-mail message you create.
Statistics Support in the Calculator (available on all models)
KeySoft 7.2 offers intuitive, powerful statistical functions in KeyPlus.
Create data sets within the Calculator using a special data entry mode.
Enter your
data into a KeyWord document, and paste it into data entry mode from the
clipboard. Import data sets from many common applications. Save data sets
for later use, and export them for use by other applications. Perform a
wide range of statistical functions on a data set using an intuitive
KeySoft menu, or
with hotkeys.
All this in KeySoft 7.2, available next week.
