Welcome to the list! The best way to get started, in my opinion, is to decide on a particular function (wordprocessor, email, whatever) and figure out how to use it. This will teach you that program, but also a lot of commands and structures that you will find across all of Keysoft. For instance, menus and their associated commands are everywhere, so knowing how to use them will help you across the entire VoiceNote. Feel free to ask us any questions you have as you experiment, and remember that the manual is just a keystroke away (options menu, u).
