Hi Jackie,
I’m not sure what the BrailleNote Touch is using for a screen reader, but
according to the podcast, some third party apps will work, and the premise is
that first letter navigation will move you to any button/control. This doesn’t
sound like TalkBack to me so perhaps Humanware have written their own.
I don’t know what happens when an unsupported app is encountered.
Cheers,
Ed

Hi Steve
The more I hear, the less I like it. You have KeySoft running on KitKat, so
what happens when you go into the Play Store and try to download an app that
is newer than KitKat, or any app, come to that, which goes outwith the
garden wall of KeySoft?
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi,
Like I said, on an OS that's nearly two years old, that is not acceptable to
me at Braille display prices.
Mainstream for the win.
All the best
Steve

Hi John
My understanding is that Braille Touch runs on KitKat, so it's out-of-date
before it hits the proverbial shelf!

Store.
Hi John
Yes it does sound interesting, but El Braille sounds even more up my
street because it is based on Windows 10, and has a detachable Braille
display. If this is all true and not just conflicting rumour, then it
has to be better than devices using Windows CE. The HumanWare Braille
Touch still uses its KeySoft suite of apps, so I am cautious about how
this device will work when you download third party stuff from the
Play
now i must win the lottery.
Let's see what happens.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

Subject: [access-uk] the new braille note touch
hi all
i have just heard the podcast from mystic access about the new release
of the bhl note touch device. this device is either an 18 or 32 cell
braille display on an android tablet using keysoft. touch bhl sounds
awesome and the product really does sound very very good indeed making
use of the touch braille and also using the tablet just like an
android tablet. the device is to be shipped around may so watch this
space. i think that humanware are on a winner with this product as you
can use the app or should i say play store. so you have access to the
google docx files skype and all the apps one can use on an android tablet.
