Hi Lee; The greatest thing about the Braille Note, that I like, is the ability to do almost anything by way of a menu or memorize a command. I have a short term memory because of epelepsi and find this feature to be very helpful. I think it would be also helpful for the elderly or those newly blind. Newly blind people are just learning Braille and it is overwhelming to have to also memorize commands too. I also love the recording feature for quick notes or to record checks until I can log them on the computer. Hope this helps. Terry Powers

Hi Lee, This is not off-topic at all (at least on my point of view). Yeah, we had a discussion about this a few weeks ago. I've used both (on my case, a BrailleNote mPower and a Korean version of Braille Sense). I've found the following: * It seems that BrailleNote is a bit faster than Braille Sense. * BrailleNote is useful for people who needs to complete their work with text-based method, whereas Braille Sense uses somewhat Windows-like approach. So if your mother is comfortable with Windows, I recommend Braille Sense. If not, I recommend BrailleNote. * Unlike BrailleNote, Braille Sense only has one model with the 32-cell braille display. BrailleNote has both shorter (18-cell) and 32-cell display. * On the Braille Sense, you can use the scroll buttons on either side of the display to move the display. On the BrailleNote, you can use the front thumb keys to move the display. These are experiences that I have with both units (I know that some other folks have better expwiences with both units). As far as my expwiences are concerned, I would say that BrailleNote is better.
