[BlindTlk] BrailleNote Apex

[Jen]

 Personally, I would prefer a braille keyboard. I just read an NFB review of the BrailleNote Touch from 2016. And you can't braille in Nemeth Code or switch between multiple files. For those who have the Touch, have these problems been resolved?

  Your name sounds really familiar. Are you the blind reporter I read about in "The Braille Monitor" eons ago?

 Hello Jenn,I don't think HumanWare supports the BrailleNote Apex, and it uses an older version of a Windows platform that Microsoft no longer supports.Someone with more technical knowledge than I have knows far more about this than I do.Having said that, I had the Apex and thought it was one of the best note takers at the time because of the wide range of functions available.I am now using the Mantis Q40 and really like the display.The Mantis has some editing capabilities for both text and Braille files. It also supports access to BARD, Bookshare and NFB Newsline.I also like the qwerty keyboard, and the Mantis may be the only Braille display on the market right now offering that feature.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Liz

Hi
I'm posting this here because I'm not sure where else to put it...
I'm thinking of buying a BrailleNote Apex. It had excellent reviews. It even has all the programs (KeyWord, KeyPlan) the BrailleNote Classic had. For those who have the Apex, what do you think of it?
