3. Notepad
3.1 What is the Notepad?
The Notepad on the Braille EDGE 40 can be used to manage, read, create,
and edit documents without connecting to a PC or cell phone. The Notepad
supports basic editing functions such as selecting and manipulating text,
find, replace, mark functions, and inserting date, time, or calculator results.
Note: You cannot use the Notepad program on the Braille EDGE if an SD
card is not inserted. If you attempt to open the program without an SD card
inserted, the message, “SD card does not exist” is displayed and the
Notepad program is closed.
The "notepad" supports creation and editing of TXT and Braille files. Read
Only support is also available for RTF, DOC, and DOCX files.

the program: navigate to it and press the right arrow button or press a
