1-32
1.27 Where to Now?
By now you should have a good basic knowledge of the BrailleNote Apex QT and KeySoft. The
entire User Guide is stored in the BrailleNote QT so you can read each chapter at your leisure.
The User Guide can be read using your BrailleNote QT as previously described. A good starting
point is to browse through the Table of Contents, as this will provide you with an appreciation of
the topics covered in the User Guide.
Please read the next chapter, which concerns practical hardware matters like the battery and the
different ports and sockets. To read chapter 2, follow the procedure discussed in the previous
section. You will find chapter 2 in the Table of Contents so you can select it from there and start
reading.
After Chapter 2, most of the remainder of the User Guide is all about KeySoft and you can pick and
choose what to read. If you are new to KeySoft, you might want to work through Chapter 3, which
introduces the basic Word processor functions. You might then want to read Chapter 5, which deals
with the functions available via the Options Menu, or Chapter 7 for advanced word processing
features. Chapter 4 covers the book reader, and how to download books from Bookshare.org, if this
site is available in your area. And chapter 6 covers how to emboss or print documents.
Alternatively, you can read Chapter 8 on the Calculator, Chapter 9 on the Planner, or Chapter 10 on
the Address List.
If you are interested in using e-mail or accessing the internet, and/or using the other connectivity
options the BrailleNote QT offers, read Chapter 14 on Connectivity, then Chapter 11 on E-mail, or
Chapter 12 on the Web Browser, depending on your interest and requirements.
Chapter 13 covers the Instant messaging feature, which allows you to use the BrailleNote Apex QT
to communicate with others.
Chapter 15 describes use of the File and Folder Manager, and the translation of files from Text to
Braille and other formats. Chapter 16 covers the Utilities menu, where topics like backing up,
restoring files and software upgrades are discussed.
Chapter 17 covers the Media Player and audio recording facilities. It also includes how to access the
FM Radio.
Chapter 18 covers the Database Manager.
If you are keen for a bit of a distraction from your work or want to sharpen your mind, read Chapter
19 to learn how to play games on your BrailleNote QT.
Chapter 20 provides a convenient listing of all the keyboard commands for the BrailleNote QT.
These are categorized under general commands as well as commands for each of the applications of
KeySoft.
You might find it tedious to read a User Guide, but we have endeavored to make sure it is full of
useful information, and it's surprising what sticks in your memory. When people say, "I didn't know
you could do that!" it usually means that they haven‟t read the User Guide.
