It also depends on whether or not the adapter for the note taker 
is able to handle plugs with both 110 V and 220 V currents   This 
comes standard with all laptops, and it means that you would only 
need a physical adapter. If this is not available, you would have 
to not only have a physical adapter to fit in the wall, but you 
would also have to have a voltage adapter.

It is much simpler need ingjust a physical adapter. In Latin 
America, you can pick these up for very cheap in your corner 
electronics store. Not sure how it is in Europe.

 This depends on where in Europe you're going.  The Uk, Germany, 
and Switzerland all have different shaped plugs, and that's just 
countries I happen to know about.  There are combination adapters 
that look like a cube with different plugs on the sides that 
should give you everything you need, or some online research 
about where you're specifically going should tell you what the 
adapter you need there is called.  There isn't anything special 
about the Apex charger, so whatever your average traveler from 
the U.S. uses to adapt their tech will work for you.

 Sophie and all,
 Yes, all you need is a multi prong adapter :)
 Have an amazing time!
 Best,

 Hello NABS friends,

 I'm going t Europe in a couple of weeks! A few days ago, I 
called Humanware to see what type of converter I would need for 
my braillenote apex. For the mPower, you had to get a whole 
separate cord. The Humanware tech support person told me tha for 
the Apex, all that was needed was a prong adapter. My mom is kind 
of anal, so she's making me double check if a Type C prong 
adapter will work for the braillenote abroad. I don't want to 
sound like an idiot by calling Humanware back with the same 
question, so I was wondering if any of y'all have experience with 
this. Input is appreciated.

 Yours,
 Sophie
