When I use the shortcut enter with O, It takes me to the language configure and settings. What am I doing wrong?
Update: I was able to go to the search for webpage and typed google.com. It is telling me that this site canāt be reached.
With the update that release today, did anyone else have to manually restart their unit once it said successfully updated?
Unfortunately, I needed to do a factory reset in order to update. I havenāt been able to connect to wifi since last May. Really, sadly, I lost all of the download files that had come on the unit when I did the training in March. Is there any way to get those files again? Clearly, they are not on the device, but is there a place I can download them from? Thanks!
Hello. We added a new samples folder from within the system storage where you can find many of the graphics etc. With regard to the training files that were found on the thumb drives, I am sure one of our awesome outreach team members can get those your way if needed. But for now, if you open up Tactile Viewer, you can find all the sample tactile graphics in the āSample,ā folder on the device.
I hope this helps.

These samples are exactly what I was looking for. I still have the thumb drive files.
Thank you!

Hello all,
I have been impressed with this last update. I was using the new Internet browser, and it was going very smooth. However, after closing all the tabs, I noticed it got stuck once and the braille was not what the speech was saying. The way I was able to fix that was going in to the main menu with space M, and then closing again and the speech output in the braille was matching. Also, I am sure everybody has figured this out. I just wanted to put out there that I was able to watch a YouTube video on this. There was no Video output, but I was able to hear the audio. When I first went into the link from the search, it said, unable to play media. However, if I navigated down to the play button and press, enter, it played the audio. I hope everybody has been enjoying this latest update as much as I have.
I also really like the latest update to the Monarch. I have enjoyed showing one of my students how to use the Monarch and the Internet browser to do basic research. This has been perfect for her since she is having quite a bit of difficulty using her Mac with VoiceOver. When the update first came out, I was not able to move around the page by elements such as headings, buttons, links, etc. However, something seems to have resolved since I can do this now without any issues. I am not sure what was going on in the beginning that prevented that from working. My student is learning how to quickly move through webpages by links and headings.
Hi! Does anyone use a list of prerequisite skills or criteria that a student should demonstrate before considering them for a Monarch? Maybe looking at their braille reading & writing skills, exposure to tactile graphics, age, curriculum needs, etc.?
I know of a 2nd grader that my agency provides services to, whose Mom is inquiring about if/when a Monarch can be available to them.
Hello,
I know before recommending any braille display. We are required to make sure they can read braille between 20 and 30 words per minute. More important than that we make sure they have the comprehension of what they read. As for writing, we make sure they can Right, but we have no specific words per minute. Now, with the tactile graphic portion of it, I donāt know if Iād be hung up on that part. Part of the whole reason and beauty of the monarchs is that students will get exposure to tactile graphics that they wouldnāt have before.
My Braille Editor stopped reading whole words aloud, it also stopped converting the simbraille on the visual display monitor to print. It will read aloud what letter has been typed but not the whole word at the end like it used to do. This is very frustrating to one of my students. Iāve gone through the settings several times and canāt seem to find what has happened nor how to fix it. I ran the most recent update hoping that would resolve the matter. What am I missing?
