Hi,
Hmmm, good question, which the answer can vary from one user to
next. The general answer is that it is not possible yet, but we
are hoping for something like that for the Apex soon. Part of
the problem is writing programs under newer operating system as
opposed to continuing with the mPower, which was promised two
future SMA upgrades.
Cheers,
Joseph

and DBC.
The DbC is the Deaf Blind Communicator. It uses a M power
Braille Note with a Cell phone that been modified to work with
the software, and also comes with a usb keyboard to do long chats
or lectures.
I am supposed to be getting mine in a few weeks and that is why I
am asking questions on here.
I wish I knew if human ware was going to update the m power
keysoft any time soon. There is still so much more they could do
with the DBC, such as why not have it on a apex with a I Touch?
It could be done from what I am learning about the DBC.
I reather have my I phone as the cell phone instead of the one
they come with so I can get my internet and texting as well as a
communcation between sighted or deaf folks.
I am really considering on just asking for the Apex, and heck
with the DBC since its cost so much and looks like it'll never
get any more updates.

Hi,
Sorry if you are getting this message twice...
In order to go to Internet with an iPhone, you need a data plan
(supporting tethering) throughAT&T and Verizon.
Windows CE and Windows Mobile are not the same. Think of
Windows
CE as the backbone that provides essential services to get your
unit going, and Windows Mobile as just a way of interacting with
the PDA.
For your benefit, I'll post the URL where questions like these
can be found:

Oh, that helps A lot.
Now if I can link up a I phone for the internet that would be
cool.
I thought windows C was windows Mobel as well. Oh well. I was
hopeing to be able to install programs I used back then on the
pac mate on the unit.
I am guessing I could still install the GPS package on this as
well.
Thanks
Matt
Yeah I got it set in advance mode.

Hi,
Let's examine it one at a time:
* KeyChat and weird symbols: Don't worry about those. These
symbols represent who sent a particular message. The "for sign,
o" means
someone - person you are talking to - wrote the message, and
"for sign, ow" means that you wrote that message.
* KeySoft in general: No, mPower does not run Windows Mobile.
You might be talking about Windows CE, which is quite distinct
from Windows Mobile.
There are two operational modes of the DBC (Deaf-Blind
Communicator):
A. DBC Basic (DBCB): This is the default mode where most of
KeySoft will not be availible - only KeyChat functionality will
be there.
B. DBC Advanced (DBCA): This is where all functionality of
KeySoft will be availible - think of it as using KeySoft with
added Dfunctionality.
To swithitch between these two (DCB units only): from Main Menu,
go to Utilities, then select Key Management. After this, go to
Enter a new Product Key. At the "product key" prompt, type
either "dbca" (Advanced mode) or "dbcb" (DBC Basic mode) then
press ENTER.
As for mp3 files, it could be the fact that they are audio
files, something wrong with the file format or hardware thing.
To see that you are indeed playing an mp3 file, while you "5k"
the file is playing, press BACKSPACE with ENTER with M.
* Marking text: You can in fact mark start of text selection
without having to go to Bleck Commands Menu. If you found the
location where you wish to start text selection (either forward
or back), press BACKSPACE with M (CTRL with Shift with M). Then
go to the end of your text selection, put the cursor one
character after the end of this block then do copying, cutting,
etc. via Block Commands (SPACE with B).
* Databases: You need to put the unit in DBC Advanced mode to do
this. From Main Menu, go to Database Manager (D). KeySoft
asks,
"Database to use?" Type the name of a new database and press
ENTER. Then KeyBase, the database management program, will step
you through creating the data field and what type of field it
should be - string (a collection of characters), yes or no,
number, etc.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: [Braillenote] Some Question Reguarding M Power Model
and DBC.
Hello.
I still waiting for my DBC to get here. However, during the
mean time I am being shown how all the other things it can do.
Well, one thing I seeing that I don't like on the DBC is the way
it shows each message being shown with weird tags, such as FOR
Sign O and For sign OW, and so forth. What does this mean?
I've
seen even FOR Sign P and ED.This just seems odd.
On the Keysoftside.I noticed that the current Keysoft 8.0 for
the M power don't even play MP3 files. Why is this? I thought
this was a windows Mobile 4.5 version. Just seemed odd, unless
it was something I did wrong.
Also, in word, I can not figure out how to select the text I
want to copy, I found where you copy the block text, but yet, I
can not seemed to find anywhere in the help on how to place the
blocks to select the text.
Also, is there any way of creating a database that I can use,
since I am going into BEP here soon, I need to make my own
database that design around what I need, as well, I could not
find anything on what kind of Database file that can be imported
into it as well. Since I would be useing Excel, I figured this
would be something close to a spreadsheet file.
Also, can I make a internet connection between my I phone as a
modem with blue tooth or will it work with the USB as a modem?
Since I have tethering?
Can any one give me any product that will work in the PCMIA slot
as a wireless?
Thanks for any help.
Matthew
