[nabs-l] Did Anyone At Convention See the Neo Braille

Sat Jul 9 21:16:19 UTC 2016

Hi Ashley,
The reason I did not like the Braille touch was because of the 
touch screen, as you have stated.  It comes with a case with a 
keyboard, which can be used, however I liked the Neo-Braille 
better.
It has a keyboard, Braille display and all the features you'd see 
on a Braille note and more.  It gives you access to the Google 
playstore as well.  It can pair up with IDevices.  I am not 
positive about how many USB ports there are, but the flash disk 
comes with 64 GB, and you can put in an sd card maximum 128 GB.
Hope this helps
Vejas

hi,
sounds neat.  Does the neo braille have a braille keyboard and 
braille
display like most notetakers have had that I'm used to?
If so, how many cells on its display? I assume it does what most 
notetakers
do now a days wich means you have a word processor, calendar, 
calculator,
and internet connections.
What is the neo braille's connectivity options? Does it have usb 
ports and
bluetooth? What about memory card slots to expand its memory?

I have an old braille note now.  I mean older than the current 
apex model as
rehab bought for me back in college.
I am not so sure I'd like human ware's new Braille touch if it 
has a touch
screen.  I prefer my braille keyboard with the buttons I can 
feel.

Ashley

The neo braille is pretty good then if it is a notetaker which 
can do what
you just said.   I did look at the specs, it seemed pretty good, 
but I'll
have to go back through them when I get more time.

The Neo is an Android notetaker with the ability to download and 
use all
accessible Android apps from the Google Play Store, just like the 
Touch.
The BrailleSense doesn't have that capability, and it's an older 
design, so
you would have it for fewer years before they come out with the 
next
hardware revision.  I didn't really compare the Neo to the 
BrailleSense in
terms of specs because I was mostly looking at the Touch and the 
Neo.

Yes I did see it.  The guy from Irie didn't know much about how 
the software
or user interface works (Irie is only the distributor not the 
manufacturer),
so I don't know how efficient it is to actually use.  It is less 
expensive
than the Braillenote Touch though with significantly better 
memory,
processor speed, and running a newer version of Android, and most
importantly for me will have the option of a qwerty smart case, 
so I am very
excited to learn more once it actually comes on the market at the 
end of the
month.

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone at convention who went to the exhibit 
hall, saw
the Neo-Braille, presented by Irie AT.  It is a notetaker that is 
so new
that many people have not heard of it.
In fact, I never heard it announced anywhere else at convention, 
so if I
hadn't gone to their table I probably never would have heard 
about it
myself.
If you did see it, I would appreciate it if you could tell me 
your opinion
on it and whether you feel it would make a good notetaker.  I 
currently have
a Braille note and am looking within the next year of either 
getting the one
I just described, or a Braille sense U 2.
Thanks.
Vejas
