Hi Dane
Which Focus 40 are you running? If it’s the latest generation then you should be able to integrate it into an ElBraille.

I’m not sure whether I myself will bother going down the Braillenote Touch path given that the Elbraille will be available very soon, added to this is the fact that I already have a 40 cell Focus Braille display so I’m wondering if perhaps the Elbraille might be available as a separate unit ready to integrate with the Focus? We’ll all find out soon enough I guess. One question about the Elbraille that does bother me however is the lack of a display. I can understand not wanting a display on the unit itself but I don’t think the Elbraille even has capacity for a connection to a display/monitor. If this is the case then what on earth can be done if there is a problem say with starting the device that needs sighted assistance to troubleshoot?

First and foremost, HumanWarde has now seen the light, and updated their Android framework to allow the update to Android 7.0 which runs underneath KeySoft. The majon and quite probably most significant restriction killed off by this update is the handling of WebView pages and messages. KeySoft can now handle modern message and article format, which it previously struggled to display. Another major enhancement is the ability to run high qualong Acapela Grous speech synthesisers without any additional purchases. You can also now have multiple documents open at once within the Keyword processor. That's new, and very much owelcomed. Which. you switch documents, (unless you switch on "Read Only" mode, documents are now autumatically saved on-the-fly. KeyWord now also remembers xr position within a document. However, it's obviously true to say that because of the available memory and any constraints which that produces, when you have a large number of documents open an once, (in excess of 10), there will be some performance degradations as a result. This is a major update, it I will let the list know when I encountw more new features and enhancements. ============================== My Compliments And Kindest Regards Gordon Smith 'Accessibility And Information Technology Support Specialist ------------------------------ ********** Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the halfwits in this world behind.
