I started a very long book list on my Braille sense plus. Before I send this device back for maintenance, I want to know if there is a way to make a Braille file in to a word document that can then be read on my computer. Before I go very far in typing on to the computer a really long list, I'd like to know if I am doing a lot of work unnecessarily. Let me know if I can in any way convert a Braille file in to a document, I do have microsoft word and open book on my computer. Thanks so much.

Hi Everyone

I don't know if anyone still uses this list but, if they do, I thought I would let them know about the firmware upgrade to Version 7.

A few weeks ago I posted a message about the Braille Sense firmware upgrade to Version 7. I was having issues with the cursor router keys, particularly
when
copying and pasting.

Following various phonecalls to Sight and Sound, who could not replicate the problem, I sent a detailed e-mail to their support team who passed it on to
HIMS.

HIMS have now produced a new build of Version 7 which appears to have fixed the main problem.

I did have an intermittent problem where if I pressed a cursor router key it went to 3 or 4 cells to the left of where I wanted it to go. I could not find a way to replicate this, but sometimes if it occurred and I moved the router key the Braille Sense locked up and had to be reset. This has not happened with the new
firmware.

I am using the Braillesense B32 QWERTY model, so don't know if the one with the braille keys has the same problems.

I believe the upgrade can be downloaded from the HIMS website.
