Supercharge Your BrailleNote Touch Today with Version 2.0. Math
Braille to Print, KNFB Reader, Braille Display Mode, and So Much
More!
Today HumanWare has made available BrailleNote Touch version 2.0.
The BrailleNote Touch began shipping in May of this year and the
world's first and only Google certified braille tablet just
keeps getting better. Version 2.0 brings many features and
enhancements which have been requested by BrailleNote users and
demonstrates the kind of innovation that this tool can produce.
KeyMath: Real
time math
braille to
print
translation
In the past students would typically manually braille their math
assignments using a braille writer. This is an effective and
necessary method for younger students to learn and gain an
understanding of spacial mathematics. But as progress is made in
the classroom students have asked for a way for them to create
math content using their BrailleNote. Today KeyMath makes this a
reality.
KeyMath is an app which integrates with KeyWord, the Touch's
powerful word processor.
Type literary
content in KeyWord,
and when you write
math content, simply
activate the KeyMath
app with backspace
and M.
Type your math
equation using your
preferred math
braille code (Nemeth
or UEB), and as you
complete the
equation, it will be
displayed visually
for sighted parents,
teachers or
colleagues
immediately on the
BrailleNote Touch's
screen.
At this point the
math braille and
visual content can
now be pasted in
your KeyWord math
document and printed
or emailed to the
classroom teacher in
seconds.
If you forget how to write a math symbol, KeyMath comes equipped
with HumanWare's symbol selector. Simply search the categories
for your symbol, KeyMath shows you how to write it in braille,
and even press enter on it to insert it in the equation.
KeyMath ensures students can independently complete and turn in
assignments to their classroom teachers but also serves as a tool
to assist in learning the math braille codes.

You should automatically receive a notification that a system
update is available for your Touch when you are connected to
WIFI. Simply press enter on the notification and the update will
begin downloading. Depending on your internet speed the update
process can take around a half an hour to complete. If you do
not receive the update notification, you can manually initiate
