It's along the same lines as the PacMate or Apex.  It serves the same
function; it's just a different notetaker, made by much, much smarter
people.  Comparing the BrailleNote and Braille Sense is kind of like
comparing Apple with Windows.  They're two different opperating
systems which essentially serve the same function.
