Braille Sense Notetakers made history by being the first to include Nemeth code support, native access to Excel and PowerPoint files, proprietary YouTube, Dropbox, Quick Browser and social media apps and HIMS is about to make history again. Sense v8.2 was officially released today and includes several trail blazing new features that we know customers will appreciate.
Awesome New Features in v8.2 Include:
Facebook Client – For the first time ever, people who are Blind have optimized access to the most popular social network in the world directly from their Braille Notetaker. Post on time lines, accept friend requests, comment on posts and more right on your Braille Sense U2 product.
Macro Manager – Save time by automating your own commonly-used or complex key sequences into just a couple of key strokes to make your own handy shortcuts.
Record in DAISY – Take better notes in class or at work by recording right into a DAISY format where you can easily insert headings, marks, phrases and pages. Finding and using recorded information becomes infinitely easier when stored and organized in this format.
Edit Two Documents at Once – You can now have a second instance of the word processor open and switch between two documents without stopping to save or close the first.
Password Protected Start-Up – Secure your notetaker just like you do you phone or other devices. Set your notetaker to require a password on start-up or when waking from sleep mode.
CSV Support – Now you can import and export CSV files directly from your Braille Sense Notetaker. This new feature combined with our excel viewer makes Braille Sense the most capable notetaker for spreadsheets and databases.
