A new KeySoft update is now available for BrailleNote Touch Plus. This release focuses on making daily tasks smoother: math can now be created and edited directly in KeyWord, and KeyRecorder makes recording and playback easier than ever. We’ve included short snapshot tutorials so you can quickly get familiar with these improvements.
New in KeyWord — Math Made Easy

KeyMath becomes KeyGraph
With this update, you can now create and read math content directly in KeyWord, making it easy to present your own work and read materials prepared by your teacher. As a result, KeyMath is no longer needed for math editing, but the graphing tools remain essential. That’s why KeyMath has been renamed to KeyGraph, perfectly reflecting its purpose.
