the “File” menu in order to move directly to “New”. “Enter-n (dots 1-3-4-

5)” is what you would press to access the function “New” from anywhere

in the word processor. The “n” is the shortcut key and “Enter-n” is the

hotkey. It is important to note that not all shortcut keys work from

anywhere in the Braille Sense OnHand; some commands will only work

while you are in a specific program. For example, if you want to

activate the “new document” option in the word processor. You cannot

press “Enter-n (dots 1-3-4-5)” in the “program” menu to activate this

option. You must be in the word processor program in order for “Enter-

n (dots 1-3-4-5)” to activate the “new document” option.

You can also move to the next menu item by pressing “Space-4”. You

can move to the previous menu item by pressing “Space-1”. When you

want to move to the first item of the menu, you can press “Space-1-2-3”.

If you would like to move to the last item of the menu, you can press

“Space-4-5-6”. The corresponding menu name will be displayed on the

Braille display, and the menu name will be spoken through the TTS (text

to speech) engine. If you want to listen to the name of the menu again,

press “Space-r (dots 1-2-3-5)”. Once you move to a menu item that you

want to execute, press “Enter” in order to execute the menu. By

pressing “Enter”, you will move to the sub menu. If there is no

submenu, the Braille Sense OnHand will execute the command from the

menu. This process is called “menu selection”. You may also move to

any menu or execute any menu by pressing an initial spelling of the

menu.

Sometimes, if a menu is executed by pressing “Enter”, the lower-level

menu is displayed. In this case, the right direction arrow sign (->) is

displayed after the name of the corresponding menu on the Braille

display. When this happens, the Braille Sense OnHand will say, “pull

down”. Or, if a menu is executed by pressing “Enter”, the dialog box is

displayed. In this case, the ellipsis sign (…) will be displayed after the

name of the corresponding menu on the Braille display. The Braille

Sense OnHand will also speak the message, “common dialog”.
