I wonder if the DAISY support also includes support for Bookshare.

Regards,
Kiran.

>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.
