On our May 6 webinar, we announced our second competition for BT Speak customers. The theme for this competition is third party apps that you may have installed on your BT Speak.
While the BT Speak ships with many useful applications, it is possible to install additional apps to extend the device’s functionality, just as you can do on other devices.
Have you installed any applications on your BT Speak? Examples might include additional Web browsers, games, book readers, useful utilities, etc.
If you have, we invite you to submit an audio demo of how you use your favorite third party app. You might want to indicate the method that you used to install the app and a demo of how you use it, how it benefits you and why you might recommend it to other BT Speak owners.
This demo can be recorded using any device or any microphone, as long as it’s clear enough for us to hear.
We ask that the recording be no longer than 5-7 minutes in length. A video submission is not necessary; audio-only submissions are absolutely fine.
To send us a submission, pleased email the recording to
info@blazie.net
with the word
contest
in the subject field.
The recording can be sent to us as an attachment or as a shared link to the file, such as a Dropbox or OneDrive link.
The last day for sending submissions for this contest is Friday, June 6.
The winner will receive a Tozo headset, which can be paired with your favorite Bluetooth device, including your BT Speak. The winning submission will also be placed on our Web site as an audio download.

Thank you, @news for mentioning us twice in the May 15 Top Tech Tidbits newsletter. Also, thank you for consistently publishing such excellent newsletters.

@pixelate @GamingWithEars Congratulations. We hope you enjoy your new BT Speak. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions. The documentation is on our Web site in the Guides and Tutorials section.

@vol4life8657 @rooktallon Thanks so much, Darrell. That's very kind to say.

@GamingWithEars @pixelate The maintenance contract is for customers who already own a BT Speak and who want to extend the device's warranty beyond the initial 90 days. A BT Speak must be purchased in order to then purchase and receive the services from the maintenance contract.

@BlazieTech I like you lot. You are doing the possible and with inginuity. I'll probably get the BT Braille when it comes out because a notetaker is what I've been hoping for after so long. The last time I had a notetaker was a Braille Sense but I would love one that has the ability to run actual apps. Imagine playing a mud on your Braille notetaker with tintin?

In our latest update, the BT Speak editor now recognizes markdown links in text files, which can open web links, files, audio, and other resources. Headings, bulleted and numbered lists are also supported. Files with a .md extension automatically enable Markdown rendering, but you can turn this feature on or off on any file using a hotkey.
