19 Using third party apps

With BrailleNote Touch, you can use third party applications from the Google PlayStore, just like you

would with any other Android tablet. Note that BrailleNote touch uses the same Google accessibility

requirements as any other tablet, meaning that a developer of a 3

party app needs to keep accessibility

in mind when developing their app. If an app is not developed with accessibility in mind, KeySoft will not

be able to access it. Many apps on the Google PlayStore have been developed with accessibility in mind,

but HumanWare cannot guarantee the accessibility of downloaded third party apps, and assumes no

responsibility for any damage done by applications from the Google PlayStore. You can visit the

HumanWare web site for a link to recommended BrailleNote Touch 3

party apps recommended by

BrailleNote Touch users.

You must have a Google account to use the PlayStore and most other Google features.
