>HumanWare will be releasing KeySoft 7.2 on Wednesday 6 September New Zealand
>time, 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
>currently running KeySoft 7 and not yet an SMA holder, ensure you get the
>best deal on KeySoft 7.2 by purchasing your SMA now. Those running version 6
>or lower will first need to upgrade to KeySoft 7 to be eligible to purchase
>an SMA.
>Contact HumanWare or your distributor for KeySoft 7.2 pricing.

>What's in KeySoft 7.2?
>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, and create text notes. 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.
>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.
>
>All this in KeySoft 7.2, available next week.
