How do I Use The Worksheets On Braille Note Touch Plus?

Users have shared that the Braille Note Touch Plus works beautifully with these math worksheets! With the BrailleNote Touch Plus, simply go to the website and the Braille Note Touch displays UEB math and users can input UEB math code directly into the textboxes in the worksheets. You do not have to change any settings or do anything extra to make the Braille Note Touch Plus work with the math worksheets.

Note: The older Braille Note Touch (not the Plus) is not compatible as a stand-alone device with these math worksheets. The Braille Note Touch uses Firefox web browser while the Braille Note Touch Plus use Google Chrome.
