Setting the Keyboard Voice. 

The first of these settings determines how KeySoft speaks what you type. Press 

FUNCTION with O, then K for Keyboard. KeySoft displays: 

"Keyboard voice? Words." 

The options are as follows: 

To turn off speech altogether, press F followed by ENTER; 

To spell words as they are typed, press S followed by ENTER; 

To speak whole words, press W followed by ENTER; 

To both spell and speak words, press B followed by ENTER; 

Or just press ENTER to leave the selection unchanged. 

The suggested setting is "Words." 

You can request help, using HELP for a reminder of these options. 

When you have set the Keyboard Voice, you are then asked to set your preferred typing Braille 
grade for each language on your BrailleNote. When you have set this, KeySoft displays 
"Do you wish to be advised when Braille input is required?" 

Finally you are asked whether you wish to use 6 or 8 dot Computer Braille.
