>GW Micro is proud to announce the release of Braille Sense 4.0 Beta 
>3. We have been hard at work resolving many of the issues found 
>during the beta 2 cycle. Thank you to everyone who participated, and 
>provided feedback regarding the second public beta of Braille Sense 4.0.
>
>Now is your opportunity to download, install, and test Braille Sense 
>4.0 Beta 3.
>
>We are not accepting feature suggestions at this time, but we are 
>looking for feedback regarding the current features and fixes that 
>Braille Sense 4.0 Beta 3 has to offer.
>
>The following are just a few of the enhancements that were made from 
>4.0 Beta 2 to 4.0 Beta 3.
>    * You can now use SPACE-DOT-6 to move to Same Field Different 
> Record, and SPACE-DOT-3 to move to Same Field Previous Record, 
> after doing a search in the Database Manager. These keys will work 
> if you have more than one record displayed after doing a search.
>    * We fixed a problem where some documents that were being 
> transfered via ActiveSync would show up as blank in the Braille 
> Sense Word Processor.
>    * We removed "pwd" as an option in the Braille Sense Word 
> Processor. If you want to save a document as a Word document, you 
> will want to choose "doc" as your document type when saving your 
> document in the Braille Sense Word Processor.
>    * We fixed a problem where some e-mail messages would not open 
> in the Braille Sense e-mail program.
>    * We fixed a lockup that could occur when trying to forward or 
> reply to an e-mail message.
>    * We fixed a problem in Grade 2 Braille, where DOT-7 was added 
> to words such as, many, father, had, etc. Now you should see 
> DOTS-4-5-6 instead of DOTS-4-5-6-7 on the braille display.
>    * the character limitation when editing the Memo field in the 
> Braille Sense Schedule Manager should now be fixed.
>    * We added a location field in the Schedule Manager.. This 
> should now sync better with the calendar in Microsoft Outlook.
>    * We fixed the error message that was displayed if you tried to 
> upgrade offline, without the upgrade file present on a USB stick or 
> compact flash card.
>    * A backup restore option for backing up your database has been 
> added in the Backup Restore option under Utilities. In addition an 
> option has been added in the Database Manager itself to either 
> prompt you when exiting or to always backup the Database.
>    * We fixed a problem with playing files in the Media Player when 
> using Braille only. Now when playing a file and your speech is 
> turned off the Braille Sense will show the title of the file 
> followed by playing if the file is being played, or pause if you 
> have paused the file. Also the Media Player keys on the front of 
> the Braille Sense should now work as expected when using Braille only.
>
>Before you get started, here are a few important notes regarding the beta:
>    * GW Micro and its affiliates are not responsible for any damage 
> or data loss that might occur as a result of testing this software. 
> Remember, this is a beta. This is not a final release and should be 
> treated as such. This beta software has been made available for 
> your continued input regarding the features and stability that the 
> Braille Sense is most notable for.
>    * It is not a requirement that you use this software. Rather, it 
> is a choice. We value your feedback and opinions. It should be 
> noted, however, that by feedback and opinions, we mean reports on 
> the features that we already have. We're not looking for new 
> feature suggestions, as the specifications for the Braille Sense 
> 4.0 Upgrade are already complete. Instead we would like you to 
> comment on whether what we say works actually works or not. Spend 
> some time trying each of the new features to make sure that the 
> Braille Sense delivers the most "Rock Solid" performance. We're not 
> a "release candidate today/production tomorrow" kind of company. 
> Your feedback and testing on the current features and issues of 
> Braille Sense 4.0 Beta 2 are what determines the success of this program.
>    * Please send questions, comments, or suggestions to 
> <mailto:support at gwmicro.com>support at gwmicro.com
>With that out of the way, head over to 
><www.gwmicro.htm>www.gwmicro.com/sensebeta and download your update 
>for Braille Sense 4.0 Beta 3. Enjoy!
