Supercharge Your BrailleNote Touch Today with Version 2.0. Math Braille to
Print, KNFB Reader, Braille Display Mode, and So Much More!
Today HumanWare has made available BrailleNote Touch version 2.0. The
BrailleNote Touch began shipping in May of this year and the world’s first
and only Google certified braille tablet just keeps getting better. Version
2.0 brings many features and enhancements which have been requested by
BrailleNote users and demonstrates the kind of innovation that this tool can
produce.
KeyMath: Real time math braille to print translation
In the past students would typically manually braille their math assignments
using a braille writer. This is an effective and necessary method for younger
students to learn and gain an understanding of spacial mathematics. But as
progress is made in the classroom students have asked for a way for them to
create math content using their BrailleNote. Today KeyMath makes this a
reality.
KeyMath is an app which integrates with KeyWord, the Touch’s powerful word
processor.
Type literary content in KeyWord, and when you write math content, simply
activate the KeyMath app with backspace and M.
Type your math equation using your preferred math braille code (Nemeth or
UEB), and as you complete the equation, it will be displayed visually for
sighted parents, teachers or colleagues immediately on the BrailleNote
Touch’s screen.
At this point the math braille and visual content can now be pasted in your
KeyWord math document and printed or emailed to the classroom teacher in
seconds.
If you forget how to write a math symbol, KeyMath comes equipped with
HumanWare’s symbol selector. Simply search the categories for your symbol,
KeyMath shows you how to write it in braille, and even press enter on it to
insert it in the equation.
KeyMath ensures students can independently complete and turn in assignments
to their classroom teachers but also serves as a tool to assist in learning
the math braille codes.

Touch via Bluetooth and type your text in braille using either the Touch’s
keyboard or silently using TouchBraille.
Connect to PCs using USB or Bluetooth and use the Touch as a braille display

You should automatically receive a notification that a system update is
available for your Touch when you are connected to WIFI. Simply press enter
on the notification and the update will begin downloading. Depending on your
internet speed the update process can take around a half an hour to complete.
If you do not receive the update notification, you can manually initiate the
update by selecting the KeyUpdater app from the Touch’s All Applications menu.
We hope you enjoy version 2.0.
The future is so close, you can Touch it.
