15.2 BookShare Download
The "BookShare Download" program provides direct search and download access to the repository of books and periodicals available from www.bookshare.org.

15.2.1 What is BookShare?
BookShare is a repository of books and periodicals in accessible formats containing over 150,000 titles at the time of this writing. The collection is increased through the work of volunteers who scan and proofread books, federal grants funding the purchasing and digitizing of various types of material, and contributions from book publishers of electronic versions of their published texts.
BookShare titles are available in various formats including DAISY, BRF, NIMAC, and audio. The Braille Sense U2 supports access to the DAISY and BRF formats via "BookShare Download". 
To become a BookShare member, you must complete BookShare's application process, including providing proof of reading disability, and pay the associated yearly membership fees. Payment can be monitary, or users can earn credit toward their membership fees by scanning material for the collection and/or proofreading material scanned by others. While the majority of the BookShare titles require you to have a membership to access them, several thousand titles in the collection are public domain works, and thus, can be accessed by anyone, regardless of whether you have a bookShare membership.

The number of dice selected is announced, and a popping sound is heard for each die you selected.
Press "Enter" to roll the dice, or gently shake your Braille Sense U2, and the accelerometer recognizes your motions and activates the dice roll. 
A sound is heard to indicate the rolling of the dice, and after a couple of seconds, the result is displayed.
After the result is displayed, the Braille Sense U2 announces, "Press Space to go on". If you press "Space", you will hear the dice selection announcement and sound once again, and you can repeat the dice roll. 
You can also press "Space-e" to return to the "Dice Selection" list and choose a different number of dice to roll.
Press "Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6)" to exit the game. 

15.4.2 Sense Brain Game

15.4.2.3 Playing a Game
When you start each game, an opening song is played followed by instructions for playing. Press "Enter" to start the game or press space to repeat the instructions.

15.4.2.4 Memory game
When the game starts, a group of numbers and letters is announced.  For example, at level 1, groups of 3 letter-number combinations are spoken. Make sure to memorize these letters and numbers in the order they are spoken.
You are then prompted, "Type the answer", at which time you must write the numbers in the order they were given to you and press enter. If the answer is correct, The Braille Sense U2 applauds you, and you are allowed to proceed to the next set of letters and numbers. If the answer is incorrect or you take too long to enter the answer, the buzz of failure sounds and the game is over. You must type the answer within 10 seconds to avoid the despicable buzz and a constructive warning that you may be losing your mind. 
When the game is over, your score is announced. If your score ranks between 1 and 5, you are asked to "Type your ID". Write your name and press enter to record your score. (You can view your recorded scores under "View Ranking" in the Sense Brain Game menu. Or press "Space-e (dots 1-5) or "Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6)" to ignore this dialog.

When the game starts, you hear the sound of footsteps. A thief is hidden in a 10-story building. A policeman says on which floor the thief is hiding. But, any smart thief won't stay in one place too long, and your job is to catch him. As the criminal runs up and down the stairs, the policeman says, "Up" and "down" repeatedly to let you know how many floors the criminal is traversing. Listen carefully and type the floor on which the thief has chosen to hide again. When you are asked to type the answer, type the number of the floor on which the thief stowed himself within 10 seconds. Be sure to think fast, or that droning buzz reminds you that your brain is failing and the patronizing policeman complains that you are interrupting his inspection.  

15.4.2.7 Multiplication table
When the game starts, you are given a set of numbers. Level 1 starts you off with two. Multiply these numbers. 
When you are prompted to, "Type the answer", type the result and press "Enter". If the answer is correct, your math genius continues to be challenged. If the answer is incorrect, or you take too long to enter it, the pretentious buzz is heard, and the Braille Sense U2 helpfully suggests you may wish to master the simplicity of addition before attempting the complexity of multiplication.
