Also, will we eventually have a choice of synthesizers? for example, suppose i want the multilingual eloquence/viavoice outloud instead of keynote gold speech?

I know many of you have ordered KeySoft 6.1, and are keen to hear how things are progressing. For those who haven't ordered it yet, this serves as a reminder about this exciting release and how it can help you stay in control of your information no matter where you are. I'm pleased to be able to tell you that KeySoft 6.1 has been in the hands of our private beta testers for the last few weeks. They're working hard to make sure that when KeySoft 6.1 reaches you, the upgrade process is smooth and the great new features work well. If you've ordered KeySoft 6.1, you'll receive it on a compact flash card. By following the instructions, you'll be able to upgrade the entire operating system in your BrailleNote to Microsoft's Windows CE 4.2. Not only will the process burn the new operating system into ROM, but it will also burn the new version of KeySoft into ROM, ensuring you have maximum use of your Flash Disk for storing documents and other data. As the first company to make Windows CE accessible to blind people back in 2000, the upgrade to this new version of the operating system continues our vision of giving you the latest in mainstream technology in a way that maximises your efficiency and productivity. Some of you with computers will no doubt have upgraded your operating system before. It can be a pretty daunting process can't it? In this case however, we've worked hard to make sure the upgrade process, despite its technical complexity, is fully accessible and easy to do. Braille and audio information is provided throughout the entire process, which takes around 35 minutes. During this process, your e-mail and address list databases will be converted to a new format automatically. As you can appreciate, it's really important that we test this process thoroughly and make sure that it works well in the wide variety of configurations out there. For this reason, we anticipate releasing KeySoft 6.1 in the new year, and not in this quarter as we had previously advised. We know the use of your BrailleNote is too important to you for us to release software that's not up to the standard you've come to depend on. But of course we also know that you want to gain access to all the exciting new functionality. So rest assured that we won't be releasing a day later than we need to, or a day earlier than we should. Testing shows that wireless Internet access is working well. Testers who have purchased a compatible wireless Ethernet card are able to take their BrailleNotes to cafes, airports, hotels, work places and schools, and gain access to the Internet through both secure and insecure wireless connections. In the coming weeks, we will be sure to provide further information on wireless cards we are supporting, to assist you in purchasing the right kind of card. Remember, if you want to use KeySoft 6.1's wireless functionality, you need to purchase a compatible wireless card separately. The improvements we've made to KeyWeb, with its much updated browser engine, mean that the browser runs faster and works with many more pages than it used to, all with the most intuitive web browsing interface in the industry. The new e-mail system offers support for multiple e-mail accounts. The new Network Configuration database allows you to easily manage the various ways you might want to connect to the Internet, whether that be through the built-in modem, your cell-phone, wireless, or standard Ethernet. And speaking of Ethernet, KeySoft 6.1 will give you full access to networks, so you can access files and folders on networks you are entitled to access. We know that in the blind community, the cost of technology is an issue, which is why even a customer who purchased one of the first BrailleNotes in 2000 has been able to keep pace with emerging technologies by upgrading their BrailleNote. That's a policy we're committed to. Demand is very high for KeySoft 6.1, so if you haven't ordered your copy yet, please get in touch with your local Pulse Data distributor so that a copy is reserved for you when shipping begins. We're thrilled that KeySoft 6.1 has reached the beta stage and will soon be in your hands, offering you ways to access information better, faster and smarter. Our blindness Research and Development team is working through weekends to ensure we get a quality product to you just as quickly as we can. Thanks for your patience and your ongoing support.
