18.5 Encrypting your Touch
It is possible for you to encrypt your Touch. Before doing so, you will need to set up a lock screen
password. From the KeySoft Options menu, press SPACE with O. Press A to go to Android System
Settings. Then, press S until you find the security options and activate it with ENTER or a cursor router
key. Press S again until you find the option “Screen security” and navigate down one time with SPACE or
the Next thumb key. Activate the next item to choose the screen lock security method. Then, navigate to
“Password” and activate it. Enter your password using the Braille table for password entry (please refer
to Appendix B for the complete list), then press ENTER. Confirm your password, then press ENTER again.
You are now ready to encrypt your device. You may do so from the Android Security Options. Press E to
select the “Encrypt tablet” item and activate it. This process will take up to one hour. Once this process
is complete, you will need to enter your encryption password every time you restart your device or
unlock your BrailleNote Touch.
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
rd
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
rd
party apps recommended by
BrailleNote Touch users.
You must have a Google account to use the PlayStore and most other Google features.
