Hi,
Not yet - but we (the programmers) are laying the foundation for eventual
port to HIMS interface upon the release of the SDK. I could try using the
Korean sDK, but it'll be hard for me to understand some of the tech terms,
as I use English as I learn CS, not Korean...
IN short, all we are creating is a console program to emulate running it
under Braille Sense family; when the SDK is here, all we need to change
would be file formats and interface routines (user input/output). Other
than
that, the interface would resemble that of using address Manager/Email
database under Braille Sense - using dialogs for input and menus for
interacting with the user.
as of now, Dan Greene, the author of EZ Money, has given us (the
engineers)
docs for us to base our code upon. Dan uses C++ these days, so it'll be
easy
for us to use that language to modernize the interface and streamline the
code in "unexpected" ways... In the end, the features would include
importing and exporting statements in a number of file formats, including
HIMS database format, CSV, XLS, etc., as well as modularizing the code
base
to include new features in subsequent releases.
A general request: are there any programmers or CS students on this list?
We
need your input about HIMS interface and how to get user input and display
information - so that I can write "emulation" code for it - with Alex (or
someone) writing equivalent code for other products... C++ programmers
prefered.
Cheers,
Joseph

Hello Joseph,
So has HIMS released an SDK then?

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.
