This Chapter covers the Media features offered in KeySoft. These include the Media Player and
audio recording functions.
17.1 Media Player.
The KeySoft Media Player allows you to play music, readings and any other audio in a range of
media formats, on your BrailleNote Apex BT.
The Media Player is accessed from the Media Center menu found on the Main Menu. Alternatively,
you can go directly to it from anywhere in KeySoft by pressing
BACKSPACE with ENTER with M.
You can play just about any size of media file from either the BrailleNote BT itself or a storage card
or memory drive. When the track is playing, you can skip back and forward through it, stop, pause
or resume the track as you wish.
As well as playing single tracks, you can play M3U playlists, allowing you to listen to continuous
audio. And streaming audio off the internet is also possible.
Other features include volume control that operates independently of speech, changing tasks with
one keystroke, track information and the ability to listen to the audio track in the background while
performing other tasks in KeySoft.
This section describes the features and their uses in detail.
