Hi All,
I just tried the new search feature on the New York times downloaded from
Bookshare. It worked like a charm. I did notice that even though both the
number key and the nine key are defined as space, only the number key
activates the chord f to start entering the search string.
Also, the documentation indicated that pitch changes should now be heard
for uppercase characters. I don't think this is working but am not positive.
Great job you all. This is really cool!
