Creating and Saving a File
You can save files to the SMART Brailler™'s internal memory, or to a
USB drive. When the SMART Brailler™ first enters Braille Entry mode,
it says “Braille Entry.” As you braille, the brailler converts the braille to
text and keeps track of what you type, as well as showing it on the
screen. To save what you've typed into a file for later retrieval or for
printing, press the Menu Button to go to the Main Menu.
Note
: If you wish to save your file to a USB drive, the drive must
be plugged in at this point.
Next, scroll to the Files option and press Select. You then have the
option to select Internal Files, USB Files (if you have plugged in a USB
drive), or Exit Menu. After you select the desired file storage, select
Save File. This saves what you have typed under the current user
name as a text file with the first line of text (maximum 28 print
characters) as the file name. The brailler will say “[filename] has been
saved.”
Note:
For files saved in internal memory, you must be logged in
as the same user as when a file was saved in order to retrieve
that file.
You can then start a new file or continue brailling in the current file.
The brailler will not clear what you've typed until you select New File
from the File Menu. Follow the process described above to save the
additional information in the same file. If you add to the current file and
wish to save it under a different name, select Save New from the
