John, Thank you for the explanation. I always take the keyboard issue as
priority in order to choose a note taker.

Erik, what do you feel about the keyboard on the BS. I dont feel happy
with the keyboard on BN MPower.
I also hope to have a chance to play with BN Apex.

Hi, I've been recommending braille sense because it had the best
hardware for money. I still like the unit. It has very comfortable
braille sells, and an onboard screen, both of which features I tend to
like, and clients find impressive.
I saw a braille note apex for the first time today and I wasn't disgusted
in the slightest, although I made the lady at the humanware booth work
pretty hard to sell it to me. It gives the current BS a run for it's
money in terms of system spec, but it offers multi-language and
multi-synthesizer support, baum stile sells, and a slightly more compact
formfactor than the bs. I still really like using and training on the
braille sense, but after seeing the apex, I think I'll be looking long
and hard at tech specs and user requirements before I definitively
recommend it. A firmware facelift with major enhancements to email
including imap support, multi-language support, and english stk for open
development would go a long way to make bs a contender again.
I can't really imagine you being unhappy with the sense. It's small and
light as such things are measured. It has braille that feels comfortable
to my fingers. Everyone's taste is different in this regard. You just
have to look carefully at the feature set before you buy and make sure it
will do what you need. For basic notetaker functions it is a great unit,
but double check if you want something more advanced.
Best,
Erik Burggraaf
