KeySoft now supports UEB Math to Print

With many English speaking countries making the transition to the Unified English Braille code it is essential that familiar learning, reading and writing tools are available to support this process. KeySoft 9.5 brings that familiar support for users who write math content in UEB.

The BrailleNote Apex is the first electronic braille device which provides both Nemeth and UEB math to print translation in a single tool. And with the UEB and Nemeth symbol selectors, the apex is a fantastic learning tool for those making the transition to Unified English Braille.

Exam Mode

In today’s educational setting, students are often required to take standardized assessments using a computer or tablet with special online software. Educational Assessments such as PARCC or Smarter Balanced recommends only a refreshable braille display for understandable security purposes. The best practice is for students to utilize their familiar technology that they use independently on a daily basis, thus allowing them to focus on the exam rather than troubleshooting the technology.

KeySoft 9.5’s new Exam Mode ensures a secure testing environment while allowing the student to use their BrailleNote Apex only as a refreshable braille display during an exam period. Implementing a secure password protection, the BrailleNote’s Exam Mode keeps the focus on the test being taken and not on the technology being used.
