Hi Maurice
Just a note to thank you for the recently posted message regarding the
ks7.5.31 upgrade. I'm sure many on this list very much appreciate all the
hard work you put forth on behalf of the BrailleNote products.
Yours cordially

KeySoft 7.5 Build 31 Bookshare Update now released
Longueuil, Quebec, March 18 2009 - KeySoft 7.5, Build 31 for the BrailleNote
mPower, BrailleNote Classic and BrailleNote PK has been released today.
In January 2009 Bookshare updated their web site offering members a number
of benefits including a change from their proprietary decompression
technology, (the unpack tool), to the industry standard unzip technology.
This change temporarily interrupted access to Bookshare books using the
BrailleNote family of products. From Bookshare member feedback and comments
we recognized the importance of this access and are releasing this free
update that fixes the ability to download and unzip books to current users
of KeySoft 7.5.
For users of the BrailleNote PK and Classic we have also taken the
opportunity to correct the error associated with scheduling an appointment,
and the failure in some circumstances to retain words added to the spelling
dictionary that were corrected for mPower users in Build 29. For PK users
the long term issue of sometimes losing speech has been identified and
corrected.
Please read the file "Release Note for KeySoft 7.5 Build 31" for further
tips on using the Bookshare site with your BrailleNote.
We encourage existing KeySoft 7.5 users to take advantage of this important
Bookshare access update as the Development Team finalizes the release of
KeySoft 8.0.
