KeySoft 7. 2 build 47 (Support)

Welcome to the KeySoft 7.2 build 47 maintenance release page. This software should only be installed if you are experiencing one of the problems listed in the Fixed Issues section (see below), or you have purchased the Concise Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus for KeySoft.

If you are upgrading from 7.2 build 43 to 7.2 build 47, you will not require a new product key, as 7.2 build 47 will work with your existing 7.2 product key.

Fixed Issues

In KeyBook, pressing SPACE to stop reading now leaves you at your current position rather than returning you to the position where you started reading.

When a Daisy book is re-opened the cursor is returned to its previous position.

In addition - for both BrailleNote mPower and BrailleNote PK:

  • Daisy speech rate is now remembered between opening books.
  • You can now open Bookshare .BKS files from the File Manager Directory option.
  • In KeyPlan, printing now works.
  • Full backups now allow subsequent incremental backups to work correctly.
  • In the Media Player, BACKSPACE with ENTER now pauses playback.
  • In UK math in the calculator, spaces are now displayed correctly.
  • The PREVIOUS and NEXT thumb keys no longer give an error beep when going to links in KeyWeb.
  • In KeyList, pressing BACKSPACE and ENTER no longer clears the Braille display.
  • Copying a database using the File Manager will no longer write protect the data file.
  • When exporting a document you can now create subdirectories at the destination directory prompt.
  • When confirming the deletion of an email folder, literary Braille folder names are now spoken correctly. The confirmation prompt now appears on the correct sequence.
  • When writing an email, the exception that could occur when you delete "to", "cc" or "bcc" entries has been fixed.

On the BrailleNote PK only:

  • The joystick now works correctly.

    • On the BrailleNote QT only:

  • When FUNCTION with S is used to change task, GPS only appears when installed.
  • The calculator now operates correctly after directly switching from a KeyWord Braille or BRF document.
  • The battery level short cut READ with ESC now works while reading .BRF files in KeyBook.

    Known Issues

    In some cases, you may experience a long response time or apparent lock-up of your system when reading Daisy books from Bookshare. This is more prevalent in large books. We will continue to investigate and work to resolve this issue. In the meantime, we wish to provide you with our latest improvements.
