Interactive Wizard
2.5.1 KeySoft Wizard
When turning on your Touch for the first time, you will be presented with a language selection screen.
Using the Next thumb key, cycle through the list of languages, select your language, and press Enter. You
will then be presented with the KeySoft start-up wizard in your selected language. Press Back to return
to the language selection screen if necessary. This interactive wizard will give you a physical description
of your device, guide you through setting up your system and teach you the common gestures and
commands to operate your Touch.
Note that you can skip certain parts of the wizard by pressing the Previous or Next thumb keys until you
find the Next button on the screen. Once you have found it, click on a cursor routing key to activate it, or
skip the wizard entirely by activating the Exit tutorial button.
Note: This wizard can be revisited at any time by going into the Miscellaneous Settings section of the
KeySoft options menu, and then selecting Launch tutorial.
2.5.2 Android Wizard
When the KeySoft Wizard is completed, the Android wizard should automatically start. You will be
prompted to enter your Google credentials and WI-FI requirements. Once the wizard is completed, you
should find yourself in the KeySoft Main Menu. Please note that a Google account is required for many
functionalities on your BrailleNote Touch. Creating a Google account on the BrailleNote Touch may not
be accessible to blind users and could require the assistance of a sighted person.
Note: BrailleNote Touch is an authorized Google device, so many of its functionalities depend on Google
credentials, similar to standard tablets and smart phones.
By default, a compact TTS voice is installed on your Touch. After completing the Android Wizard, you will
receive a notification asking you if you want to install a higher quality version of that voice. Select “Yes,
download now” to download it now. Select your voice and press Enter. The BrailleNote Touch will ask
you if you want to replace your compact voice by your selected voice, select Yes to confirm and press
Enter. The download progress in percentage will be displayed. To skip this and be asked to download the
higher quality voice the next time you restart your Touch, select “No, download later”.
