>KEYSOFT 7.2 IS COMING!  HumanWare will be releasing KeySoft 7.2 early in the
>4th quarter of 2006, making your BrailleNote or VoiceNote even more useful
>and efficient.
>  Whether you have a BrailleNote or VoiceNote mPower, a BrailleNote PK, or a
>BrailleNote or VoiceNote Classic, there is a version of KeySoft 7.2 that
>will be available for you.  KeySoft 7.2 takes one count from your Software
>Maintenance Agreement (SMA).  An SMA allows you to receive two major
>versions of KeySoft for the price of one.  Remember, an SMA can only be used
>for a version of KeySoft if it is purchased prior to the release of the
>software concerned.  So if you are not yet an SMA holder, ensure you get the
>best deal on KeySoft 7.2 by purchasing your SMA now.  Contact HumanWare or
>your local dealer for KeySoft 7.2 pricing.   What's in KeySoft 7.2?
>Working with Files Is Easier (available on all models)
>
>KeySoft allows extensive manipulation of files from any file list.  Anywhere
>you can see a list of files, you can copy, erase, move, protect, unprotect
>and rename a file.  Now, it is possible to mark files for action.  Move
>through a list of files, mark those files that you need to take action on,
>and the file manipulation commands can be applied to the group of files.
>Now, when you look through a file list using the Directory option in File
>Manager, pressing ENTER on any file will launch its associated application.
>Pressing ENTER on an mp3 file for example will immediately cause it to start
>playing in the Media Player.  In any file list, it is now easier to get it
>sorted.  You can still sort files alphabetically as you have always done,
>however you can now also sort by date and by size.  Sorting by size is a
>great way of finding those pesky large files that are consuming FLASH Disk
>space.  Sorting by date makes it easier to trace the progress of a project
>whose files are contained in their own folder.  e-mail Signatures (available
>on all models)  KeySoft 7.2 adds the ability to set up two e-mail
>signatures.  Configure an e-mail signature for messages you generate, and
>another for messages you forward or reply to.  You can see the text of the
>signature right in the body of any e-mail message you create.  Statistics
>Support in the Calculator (available on all models)  KeySoft 7.2 offers
>intuitive, powerful statistical functions in KeyPlus.  Create data sets
>within the Calculator using a special data entry mode.  Enter your data into
>a KeyWord document, and paste it into data entry mode from the clipboard.
>Import data sets from many common applications.  Save data sets for later
>use, and export them for use by other applications.  Perform a wide range of
>statistical functions on a data set using an intuitive KeySoft menu, or with
>hotkeys.  DAISY Support (available on BrailleNote and VoiceNote mPower, and
>BrailleNote PK)  Your BrailleNote or VoiceNote is about to become your
>digital book player.  HumanWare is the world leader in DAISY playback
>technology, through our Victor Reader products.  Now, we have incorporated
>Victor Reader technology right into KeySoft.  Listen to DAISY audio books,
>with the flexibility to speed up and slow down the narration and change the
>tone of the audio.  Set bookmarks, create text notes, and jump to any time
>in the book.  Text only DAISY books are instantly translated into your
>preferred grade of Braille.  With books that offer both text and audio, you
>have the best of both worlds.  Choose to read in Braille for detailed study,
>and let the narrator read to you when it suits.  Move through DAISY
>elements, or use the familiar KeySoft sentence and paragraph navigation
>commands in text DAISY books if you prefer.  Get ready!
>
>Make sure you have a current Software Maintenance Agreement so you can
>download your copy of KeySoft 7.2 when it is released.  KeySoft 7.2 from
>HumanWare will change the way you work, learn and play.
