recipient button. Upon pressing this button, you will have the option to add an email address from your
contact list. You will notice that the display and speech says that computer Braille is required when
editing in the “To” field. In certain types of text fields, you must use computer Braille to enter content.
Remember that computer Braille uses all 8 dots, so when using computer Braille, if you want to perform
traditional commands that use backspace or enter, such as backspace with C to clear a line of text, you
must add the SPACE BAR to these commands to perform them. Commands which involve ENTER or
BACKSPACE that would normally write a character must have the SPACE BAR added to them when you
are using computer Braille.
Below the To field is the subject field where you can specify a subject for your email.
Next is the Compose mail field, where you will be writing the body of your message. Write your
message.
Once you are done, press BACKSPACE with S to send your email. Alternatively, you can access the
context menu for other shortcuts and functions by pressing SPACE with M.
7.2.1 Attaching a file
To attach a file when writing a message, open the context menu by typing SPACE with M. Select and
activate Attach file. You will be re-directed to your file manager with a list of your BrailleNote Touch’s
internal storage content. Select and activate the file you wish to attach to your email.
7.3 Reading and searching for emails
To read your emails, select Read from the KeyMail menu and press ENTER. All emails in your inbox will
be listed. As you scroll through your emails, BrailleNote Touch will read the name of the sender, will tell
you if the email has an attachment, and read the email’s subject and the time it was sent. To read an
email, simply select it and press ENTER.
Note: When you scroll down to the bottom of your email list, you will find the “Load more” button.
Press this button to load the emails that have not been loaded yet.
You can search for a specific email using the Search command by pressing SPACE with F. Type your
search keyword then press ENTER.
After opening an email, BrailleNote Touch’s focus will be on the email’s body. To view the email’s
header information, such as the subject, sender, send date, recipients, and attachments, scroll back
once using the Previous or Back thumb keys to reach the Subject field, then scroll down the other
header information using the Next or Right thumb keys.
7.3.1 Viewing attached files
If your email includes an attachment, there will be an “Open attachment view” item available in the
email header, just after the “To” field. To view the attachments, select and activate the “Open
attachment view” item. Alternatively, activate the Toggle view attachments item from the Context
menu by pressing SPACE with M.
