June 2020 Application update - BrailleNote Touch Plus Release notes

 

One-Handed Mode

·        The BrailleNote Touch Plus now features a one‑handed mode for Braille input, useful for users with dexterity impairments. The one-handed mode will only work with the HumanWare braille keyboard; the default two-handed mode will be active when using TouchBraille or a standard keyboard.

·        To turn on one-handed mode, hold down ENTER, followed by the Action button (the button next to the headphone jack on the right edge of your device). Keep holding down ENTER and the Action button for 5 seconds until you hear "One‑handed mode activated". Note that you MUST hold down ENTER before the Action button to activate the one-handed mode. This mode stays in effect until it is deliberately turned off.

·        To return to two‑handed mode, hold down the ENTER key followed by the Action Button until KeySoft announces “One-handed mode deactivated”.
