Index Reporting

Determines whether numerical index information is announced as you navigate, such as, “3 of 5”, “4 of 18”, etc.

Show Folder Type

This option determines whether the File Manager analyzes content as you navigate. If set to On, the content type is announced for each folder, but navigation may not be as responsive.

Number of list items per page movement

Determines how many list items numbers 3 and 9 move by in File Management lists, the Web Radio Channel List, a list of memos or podcast feeds, etc. Choose among 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25. The default is 25.

System Alerts

 choose among Off, beep, vibrate motor, or both.

Keypad Alerts

 choose among Off, beep, vibrate motor, or both.

Keypad Sound setting

 choose among Basic sounds 1, 2, and 3. (Used if keypad alerts are set to beep).

Play Power On/Off sound

 Choose On, Off, or message.

Battery Alert

 choose between Beep and Message.

Progress Indicator

Numpad Lock

 determines whether the numeric keypad is operational. Use the left and Right arrows to choose between On and Off. 

Keypad Lock Warning

 allows you to choose whether you receive the keypad locked announcement after pressing several keys. You may wish to turn this off, especially when reading with the keypad locked, so that reading is not interrupted if keys are pressed accidentally.

Text Entry Method

 Choose whether to use T9 entry in edit boxes, or a “character Selection” method, which allows you to navigate and select characters to enter.

Character Input Time

 Choose how much time you are given before SensePlayer registers a character input using T9 entry. Choose options from 50 to 1500 milliseconds in increments of 50. 

Smart Connect Key Map

 Use this option to determine what key commands will be sent from the SensePlayer during Smart Connect, as these are operating system dependent. If you are connecting to an iPhone or iPad, choose iOS. If using an Android phone or tablet, choose Android. If you want to remote control your BrailleSense, choose “BrailleSense”. *Note
 this option determines the default key map for new connections. Each saved connection can be set independently.

Send Audio During Smart connect

 This option lets you determine if, when you are connected to a smartphone or tablet via the Smart Connect function, whether the audio of the smart device is also sent to the SensePlayer. Choose On or Off.

Language
