Hi folks, In addition to what Alex said, Dan Greene, the author of EZ Money, has offered to give us the C language source code so that we can transform it into C++ (in my case) and python (in Alex's case), respectively. The interface would closely resemble that of HIMS suite shell to emulate running this program under Braille Sense. As Alex mentioned, school will start soon for us - UC Riverside for me, U. of Maine for Alex, but we'll keep you posted as we go along. Cheers, Joseph P.S. are there any programmers or computer science students here on GWN list? We need your assistance, as we need to understand Sense interface and working with code.

Hi all, As some of you know, Joseph and I are starting to work on a project, currently for Windows on a regular PC, that will let you track checks, bank accounts, and so on. While it currently will run only on a pc (when it is ready anyway), the plan is to eventually port it over to the BrailleNote family, and the Braille Sense family. Doing so, however, requires the use of an sdk (software development kit) for the notetaker(s) in question. As of right now, neither Humanware nor GWM has released such a program, so the best we can do is offer an option to export things to CSV files. This will let users import records from the desktop program into custom-made databases in their notetaker's database manager. We already are in contact with the maker of a similar program for the old Braille 'N Speak family, and this programmer has graciously offered documentation and even source code to aid us in this project. The interface will be similar to that of Keysoft, but I think it will be quite easy for users of SenseNotes to pick up as it will not precisely emulate Keysoft, just be similar in that it is easy to use without using the screen and will not look much like a conventional Windows program. For example, you might use arrow keys to move back and forth through the fields you are filling out, use special keys to move through a "dropdown" list of options, and so on. Anyway, we will let you know as we get more going. School will start for both of us soon, but we will do our best. -- Have a great day, Alex (msg sent from GMail website) [email protected]; http://www.facebook.com/mehgcap If you wish to unsubscribe from this list, visit: http://www.gwmicro.com/listserv If you wish to unsubscribe from this list, visit: http://www.gwmicro.com/listserv
