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

Sun Jul 10 06:01:52 UTC 2016

Hi,
thanks.
I assume the Neo braille is compatible with all our accessible reading 
platforms such as learning ally books and NLS books.
What a relief it has 32 cells. I'm used to that.

So how much does it cost?

Hi Ashley,

The Neo has a Braille Keyboard and a 32 cell display (not sure if
they're also selling it with fewer cells to reduce the cost).  It
has a micro SD card slot and a USBC port their might be two, I
don't remember).  It also charges over the USBC connection not
over a micro usb like the Touch.  Because it's Android, you can
use any Android word processor, browser, etc. as long as it's
accessible.  They ship it with Google Chrome as the browser and
some sort of proprietary word processor that the distributor
didn't know much about.

HTH,
Karl

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.

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
