I own the Voice Sense, the Braille Sense OnHand and the Braillenote Apex. But, I find it kind of hard to do general comparisons, as each product will have its plusses and minuses.
As for the interface on each, well, I can use, and get used to, either one. I just have to remember which device I'm using at the time, grin. Although, I also do find the file manager to be a little easier and quicker with the Sense note takers. The alarm on the planner of the BN is much louder than that of the schedule manager or wake up alarm on the Sense products, which is a big plus if one is either sleeping or in the other room when the alarm sounds. I also like the go to feature of the planner on the Apex, allowing one to go forward or backward by a specified number of days or weeks or months or years, which is something not available on the Sense products. ----- Original Message ----- From: Terri Pannett <[email protected]> To: "Dean Martineau" <[email protected]>, "'Braille Note'" <[email protected]> Date: Saturday, Feb 12, 2011 19:47:03 Subject: Re: [Braillenote] off topic: braille sense vs braillenote apex > > > I own both the Apex and the BrailleSense Plus.
