In this demo, I explain how to choose your preferred reading input and output table, and then have a bit of a play around with the Braille Editor, and Word.

How to access the NVDA Settings from the KeySoft Main Menu Options, and how to get back to the Main Menu if you pop in to Windows.
Going how to access the Main Menu Options, KeySoft Control Centre, and how to exit the Main Menu. By the way two things I slighly or really got wrong smile: forgot to say key 7 and 8 to the left and right of the Perkins 6 key keyboard, and the all 8 dots is not the end of the menu, its to show that the item is a folder: whoops, but I explain both in the demo.
As the title says, from starting up to shutting down via the Main Menu with some tips along the way. A lot more demos to come.
The Braille Note Evolve has been described on a number of podcasts and on the web, but I thought I'd make a place holder here for you to refer back to moving forward.And yes, it is most certainly a Windows 11 Pro laptop (with a Braille display).
In this demo, I show you how to connect and run two displays at the same time, in this case, the Mantis Q40, but same works for the BI20X, and BI40X with the iPhone (or iPad).
In this demo, I mainly point out how to access the Braille Access settings within VoiceOver Utility, point out one difference between iOS/Mac Braille Access, correct my statement aoubt UEB not being on the Mac/Braille Access (which it is), and my my finding of a nifty short-cut for working with BRF files on the Mac inside in the Braille Access menu. For a good review of Braille Access, listen to my last podcast. Woody
