3. Global options

The “Global options” in the Braille Sense OnHand has information on all

of your settings. You can change your preferences regarding each option.

You can access the “Global options” by pressing “F1”. Then, use “Space-

4” or “Space-1” until you find “Global options”. Then, press “Enter” on

“Global options”. By pressing the “Space-o (dots 1-3-5)”, you can open

the “Global options” while you are anywhere in the Braille Sense

OnHand. You can navigate all of the items in the “Global options” with

“Space-1” or “Space-4”. You can also use the scroll buttons for

navigating through each of the items. You can change the setting values

with the “spacebar” or “Backspace” buttons. There are many shortcut

keys which you can use to quickly move you to wherever you want to go

in the “Global options”. By pressing “Space” on an item in the “Global

options”, you can turn the setting on or off, or toggle between the various

options that are available for the item you are on.

The “Global options” is like a dialog box. To change and save the

settings in the “Global options”, you must press “Enter” once you have

selected the setting that you want to save. If you do not press “Enter” (or

select “Confirm”) on the setting that you want, the setting will not be

saved. Once you press “Enter” to save the setting, the Braille Sense

OnHand will say, “Saved options”, and you will be returned to where you

were before you entered the “Global options”. To cancel the change to

the setting, press the “F4” key, “Space-e (dots 1-5)”, or “Space-z (dots 1-

3-4-5)”. The Braille Sense OnHand will then speak the message,

“Canceled saving options”. When you are on an option, you can also use

“tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)” to go to the “Confirm” and

“Cancel” buttons. If you want to save your settings, press “Enter” on the

“Confirm” button. If you do not want to save the changes you made to

the settings, press “Enter” on the “Cancel” button.

Before we go in to detail about each option, let’s first go through a brief

overview of what you will find in the “Global options”.
