in Braille, but on rare occasions you might see differences in the

translated text.

5.2.11 Insert Date

To insert the date into your document, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or

“F2”, and then press “Enter” on “Edit” to enter into the “Edit” menu.

Move to “Insert Date” by pressing “Space-4” repeatedly. Then, press

“Enter” on “Insert Date”, or press “w (dots 2-4-5-6)” (which is the short

cut) in the “Edit” menu. Then, you can insert the current date and time

where the cursor is located in your document. If you want to insert part

of the current date and time, you can modify what you want to change

after completing the “Insert Date” command. When you are editing a

document, you should press “Enter-w (dots 2-4-5-6)” to activate this

command.

5.2.12 Changing Between Insert and Overwrite Mode

There are two ways of editing documents in the Braille Sense OnHand.

The first is to insert your text, which will push back the words behind the

cursor. This is called the “Insert mode” because you are simply inserting

text. When you are in “Insert mode”, the cursor will show up “dots 7-8”.

The second is to overwrite text at the cursor location. This is called the

“Overwrite mode”. In “Overwrite mode”, the cursor will display as blinking

“dots 7-8”.

If you start the word processor (or open a document), the “Insert mode”

is the default. This will write text, while pushing back other words that

are already in the document. However, you can overwrite text while

erasing the old text by switching to “Overwrite mode”. You can switch

to the “Overwrite mode” by pressing “Space-i (dots 2-4)”. In the

“Overwrite mode”, you can change the old text into new text at the

cursor location. If you want to go back to “Insert mode”, you should

press “Space-i (dots 2-4)” again. You can also access this function via

the menu. Press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”, and go to “Edit” using

the up and down arrows (“Space-1” and “Space-4”). Next, press
