Fri Apr 8 03:50:23 UTC 2011

Humberto,
Thank you so much for all the info!!! I really appreciate it and 
it will definitely help!!!!! I will look into it some more, but I 
already feel like I know enough to try hooking up my BN to a 
monitor!
Cheers, Hannah

>1.  There is an option called the "visual display" on your
>BrailleNote.  Go to the options menu, and then press the letter V
>to jump straight to Visual display.  It will ask you whether you
>want a serial connection or a bluetooth connection.  If you are
>interested in learning more about this option, you can refer to
>the user guide (It is installed on your KeySoft by default), and
>read about the sections for visual display.
>2.  Depending on which version of KeySoft you have, you might
>want to download an application and install it on your computer.
>for more information, you can visit:
>http://humanware.com/support/
>search for a BrailleNote link and start investigating the other
>links and settings.  If you know what HyperTerminal is, there is
>a file that you can download that has the correct settings for
>the BrailleNote to run as a visual display.  Just look around
>that web site and find out what's available.
>3.  There is a BrailleNote mailing list for BrailleNote users
>specifically.  If you would like to subscribe to this mailing
>list, send a blank email to:
>Braillenote-request at list.humanware.com.  type "Subscribe" in the
>subject line, as always.
>4.  A last word of warning, (and yes real warning!) unless you
>have been really approved to have such accommodation of
>connecting a braille device onto a monitor, please be aware that
>if you are in the same testing setting as other students, they
>might be tickled pink to see your work.  And yes, they may cheat.
>You might want to see what your testing setting will look like
>before even jumping in to researching options 1, 2, and 3 above.
>Good luck with your test and may all be well for you.

>Cheers, Humberto
