SELVAS is thrilled to announce the availability of 3 new apps for the BrailleSense 6 and 6 mini, all of which can be downloaded via the optional Add-Ons menu.
1. New web TV App
- Installs to the Media menu below web Radio.
- Contains the same exact interface as the Web Radio, but for freely available online TV stations.
- Uses an Open Source database that is actively maintained. Thus, be sure to update the database often, and to know that, if stations stop working, they may well return in a few days.
2. New Play store search add-on
- Installs to the Android Apps menu below the Play Store.
- This program creates a BrailleSense-type interface for searching applications on the Play Store. However, as with Video search and YouTube, the Play store page is opened for installation.
- When you open the program, you are offered options for searching by keyword or category. Keyword asks you to type a search term, while category offers a list of categories. As with other search programs, Tab to reach more specific information, and Shift-Tab to return to more general designations.
- When in a list of results, press Enter-I to get information about the application.
- Press Enter on the focused application to open its page in the Play store to install it. Remember that you can use first letter navigation here, and pressing the letter I a time or two should get you to the Install button. Aside from direct installation, you shouldn’t need to interact directly with the Play store interface.
3. Words With HIMS Add-On
- This is a general word game of words of different lengths and clues. Installs to the Extras Menu.
- Be sure to use Tab and Shift-Tab to discover all the current controls and information.
- In addition to the included words and clues, you can also add your own, and set several options for play.
The Web browser V2 add-on has also been updated to fix several reported issues. Other add-ons have been updated to reflect refinements in Braille translation, but do not contain additional features and functions.
