1 1.1 Product Overview and Physical Description Product Overview Thank you for purchasing the BrailleNote Touch, the next generation of HumanWare’s BrailleNote family of products. The BrailleNote Touch is not “just a Braille note taker”: It is the first intuitive, simple to use Braille tablet. While operating as the keyboard, the built-in touchscreen also acts as a visual display for sighted teachers or assistants who will want to interact with the tablet.
On the right and left sides of your BrailleNote Touch, close to the front edge, are two attachment rings that can be used to attach a shoulder strap. The cover of the carrying case is kept closed with 3 magnets located on the front, left and right edges of your BrailleNote Touch. Lift the 3 magnets, and flip the cover of your carrying case to reveal your BrailleNote Touch’s physical keyboard.
Below the micro USB port is the green LED indicator. Below the green LED indicator is the oval-shaped Power Button, used to power the tablet on and off. Below the Power button are the Volume Up and Volume Down Buttons. 1.3.4 Right Edge of BrailleNote Touch On the right side of BrailleNote Touch, near the top corner, is the microphone jack, which can be used to connect an external stereo or mono microphone, or line-in equipment.

Note that KeySoft apps found on your main menu are optimized for first letter navigation.
