User's Manual

You can select a file that you want by using the up and down scroll

buttons, and you can open the file by pressing “Enter”. If you select a

folder and press “Enter”, you will see the list of files in that folder. If you

want to move to the upper folder or to other folders, you can go to

wherever you want by using scrolling keys, just like in the “File manager”

in chapter 4.

If you want to access a file that is on a compact flash card, or USB

memory stick, you can access the file in the “Open” dialog box by first

moving to the “file list” by pressing “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)” or “Space-

F3”. Then, press “Backspace” until you hear the USB stick memory or

the compact flash card. Then, press “Enter” to open the memory.

The Braille Sense OnHand will choose the Braille mode depending upon

the file type. For example, if you press “Enter” to select a file that has

the extensions hbl or brl, or if you type in a file name with those

extensions and press “Enter”, the Braille Sense OnHand will open the

selected file in Grade 2 Braille. You will not be able to change the

Braille mode in these documents. If you press “Enter” to select a file

that has the extensions of txt or doc, it will open the file in what is

currently set in “View/Input grade” of “Global option”. After the file

opens, you can switch the Braille mode, as was explained in section

3.4.

In the word processor of the Braille Sense OnHand, it is possible to open

and work simultaneously with up to 10 files at one time. If you already

have one document open, and you try to open another document, the

Braille Sense OnHand will ask you if you want to save changes to the

document that is already open. Then, you can save the file (see

section 5.1.3 for a detailed explanation). Once you have completed

saving the document, an open dialog box will appear. However, you

will still have the two files open. It only seems that you closed one

without saving it. With the new document open, if you want to go to the

previous document, you can press “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”. If you want

to go back to the other document again, press “tab (“Space-4-5”)”.
