Just a USB port.

Does it have both a USB and a round AC port or just a USB port. If it
only has the USB port with no round port next to it then it’s the
latest model.

Hmm.. that's a good question.
I've had the Focus now for 1 and a half years so should be alright,
sounds like a question for quantum Technology here in Australia.

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.

Thanks for keeping us informed.
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?

Good Tuesday to you one and all
I personally am delighted about this, as it resolves some very
major flaws in their previous operating system, and adds some
significant enhancements to KeySoft.
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.
