HumanWare Launches the BrailleNote Apex – Shipping December 1st, 2009

Longueuil, November 11, 2009 -- HumanWare has launched the BrailleNote Apex,
the thinnest and lightest notetaker especially for professionals and
students who are blind.

Powerful and sleek at just 2 cm (0.78") thick and weighing only 812 grams
(1.8 lbs), the BrailleNote Apex is designed for portability and
functionality. Intelligent ergonomics have always been the benchmark of
HumanWare products, and the BrailleNote Apex performs with comfort and
agility. A comfortable full-size Braille keyboard makes notetaking quick and
easy, while HumanWare's signature thumb keys make extensive reading
effortless.

"As a proud supporter of Braille literacy, HumanWare is committed to
developing products that help blind people to fully participate in the
quickly evolving, digital world around them. Because we believe that
communication is the key to success, we strive to put every opportunity in
the hands of our customers with Braille products that meet their needs every
day. The BrailleNote Apex puts the power of digital communication at
everyone's fingertips," says Gilles Pepin, CEO of HumanWare.

Added horsepower and multiple storage options define the BrailleNote Apex's
productivity with its 8 GB of internal memory and support for high capacity
SDHC cards, along with 4 high-speed USB 2.0 ports, built-in Wi-Fi, Ethernet
and Bluetooth.

The advanced technology is driven by the new Windows CE 6.0 operating system
which enables the expansion of KeySoft, a comprehensive, user-friendly suite
of productivity applications with feature-rich content that is 100%
accessible. This powerful software combination will facilitate future
enhancements and ongoing improvements in response to user requests.

Almost ten years after the introduction of the BrailleNote, the
revolutionary BrailleNote Apex is the ninth notetaking device in a line of
products that has been helping people who are blind to be a vital part of
the global information age since 2000.
