Please note that embossing formatting and page size must be controlled on the embosser’s menu and is
not controllable at this point from KeyWord. Blank lines are currently not rendered by the embosser. To
get the maximum functionality from your embosser, make sure the BrailleNote Touch software is up-to-
date.
7 Sending an Email with KeyMail
To launch KeyMail, access the main menu, Press E or Navigate to Email: KeyMail, then press ENTER or
one of the cursor routing keys.
Setting up an email
account
Upon opening KeyMail, you will be prompted to create a new email account. If you already have an
email account, enter your account information in the text fields to get started. Otherwise, you will need
to create an email account with a service before proceeding.
When adding an email account to your BrailleNote Touch, all email messages, appointments and
contacts associated with that email will be synchronized with your Touch and available in KeyList and
KeyPlan. A Google or Exchange account is required for calendar synchronization.
Writing and sending
emails
To compose a new email, select and activate the new message item in the KeyMail menu. You are now
in the new message window, which consists of three text fields: To, Subject, and Compose mail. Your
focus will be on the To text field by default, and you will already be editing in that field. You will know
that you are in edit mode as you will see a cursor between the edit field brackets. In the To field, enter
the email address of your email’s recipients. Alternatively, you can scroll to the left until you reach the
Select 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. Your BrailleNote Touch can give you recipient suggestions based
on your address book and history. To get suggestions, type at least one character in the “To”, “CC” or
“BCC” edit box, then press BACKSPACE with E.
After the To field is the Plus CC/BCC button. Press this button to add the CC and BCC fields to your email.
