Hi Charis,
No problem :)
Write your e-mail address where it says "username", so that's the
first input field. The reason it shows up in grade 2 is that
your preferred braille grade for displaying stuff in English will
be grade 2. If you want to see it in 6-dot computer braille,
press the 2 thumbkeys on the right (if you have the right-handed
set), or else the ones called next and advance. Press them again
for 8-dot (and once more will take you back to grade 2).
Hope that helps,
Aine

Hi,
I went to gmail.com. I really wasn't sure which field I was in
so I guess I
would say both fields. I saw where it said Password and the
"Remember Me"
spot but was not sure where to write my email address in. I used
computer
Braille to write my email address and it showed up in contracted
Braille.
Sorry to be so confused.
Thanks for all your help.
Charis

Hi Charis,
Which form fields couldn't you find? Both username and password?
What address did you go to to log in?
This may not be the problem, but I know for me on google plus, on
the mobile
log-in page, the box to put your e-mail in won't pof up till you
put your
password in, press enter, wait for the next page to load, press
enter with o
and enter, and fill in the security alert dialogue that will pop
up only
then.. But I never had this issue with gmail.

Grant,
Thank you for your good explanation. When I tried logging on to
my own
gmail account using the BrailleNote because I basically thought
this was the
process, I couldn't get to the right form fields to log in. Any
tips would
be appreciated.

Charis, this method entails using an Email account that provides
a preview
of .DOCX files, or any other files which the BrailleNote
currently does not
support, to webmail users, without your having to download the
file first.
For example, Gmail works well in this respect.
Essentially, you would want to Email the .docs file to yourself.
Then you
would access it by logging into www.gmail.com. By default,
you'll be in a
very stripped down version of Gmail designed to work well on a
mobile phone,
so go to the link labelled "Basic HTML" to arrive in a more fully
featured
version of Gmail (you can bookmark the resulting page for easier
access if
you wish). Then select the message you just sent to yourself,
and near the
bottom of the page will be a list of the attachments. You can of
course
download the DOCX file, but there should also be a link next to
it labelled
"View as HTML," which will put you into a web page with the text
of your
DOCX file. You can read it there or copy it to the clipboard,
paste it in
Keyword, etc.
Note that this also works well for a variety of files including
PDFs.
This method is a bit cumbersome, but it does work. I hope I
explained it
satisfactorily!
Cheers,
Grant

Thank you to all those who responded to my question regarding my
question
about docx files.
One of the suggestions was to use a web based account such as
gmail.
Does it matter if the account is an imap vs. pop3 account? What
is the
process for reading these files if Office is not on the machine?
Thank you.

Hi Charis,
Welcome to the list!! To answer your question, there is
unfortunately no
way to read DOCX files in the latest version of KeySoft.
However,
there is a way to convert them using a service called
RoboBraille. Here is
what you do:
1. On your BrailleNote, send an email to
[email protected].
2. In the subject line, put in the file format in which you
want the file
converted. For example, you can convert the file to .doc, .txt,
or .brf.
3. Attach the original DOCX file to your email.
After you send your email, you should see an email within a few
minutes
with the converted file attached.
Hope this helps,
Chris

Hello,
I am new to the list and am learning a lot. I am working with
someone who
is purchasing a BrailleNote and will have version 9.2 of KeySoft.
Can you read Office 2007-10 files (specifically docx files)? I
thought
that this was one of the new features in the latest upgrade but
can't find
anything to support that.
If you can't read them is there a way to convert them in case
someone
emails you and you don't have access to a computer?
Thank you.
Charis Austin
