Braille Key Simulation - Baum VarioUltra 20 User Manual

transfer your text: Braille Key Simulation (introduced with VarioUltra
software 1.33) or the new HID Key Simulation (introduced with
VarioUltra 1.4 software).
Both methods can be used in parallel. It requires the correct language
and device specific HID table for HID key simulation selected in menu
Settings > Braille Display mode > Key simulation properties. Compared
to the older Braille Key Simulation approach, the text transfer with HID
key simulation is faster.

2.5.7.1 Braille Key Simulation

The quick instructions are as follows:
1) From inside a Braille Notetaker application such as the Word
Processor, highlight and copy/cut a selection of text up to 10,000
characters.
2) By way of example, highlight the current sentence with command
B9+B3B6. Your highlighted sentence will display dot 8 below each
braille character.
3) If you make a mistake and wish to cancel the highlighting, enter the
cancel command B9+B7B8, or just press the D4 button.
4) Enter command c+B8B9 to copy or x+B8B9 to cut this highlighted text
to the clipboard.
5) Switch to Braille Display mode to use your mobile device such as an
iPhone.
6) If not already done, activate the Bluetooth channel for the connected
device by holding system key S2 and then pressing B4, B5, B6, or B8
for the channel in question.
7) Within a text window of any application on your mobile device, press
S2+D1 on VarioUltra to initiate pasting of your copied text.
8) To stop the transfer, press S2+D2.
Note:
1) Braille tables need to match on VarioUltra and your mobile device. If
you copy contracted text from your VarioUltra, your iPhone needs to
be set to contracted braille as well. If not, the braille translation will be
affected.
2) The braille language needs to be the same also. If you copy Spanish
text from VarioUltra and paste to an iPhone that is programmed for
English, errors will occur such as accented characters not translating
correctly.
3) The transfer can take some time. In BAUM (USA) tests, sending
5,000 characters took about 7 minutes.
