[Nfbmt] note takers for blind users

[Bruce&Joy Breslauer]

I like the idea of the Humanware Apex, I think it's called.  I have a
Braille Sense which does a lot of cool things and is far and away the most
complete notetaker around as far as features go, but when it doesn't connect
wirelessly as mine currently doesn't and they can't figure out why, it is
frustrating to me.

 

I read about something called a Braille Pen on Flying Blind recently.  It's
just a little 12-cell Braille device, but it sounds rather cool.  It doesn't
have all the bells and whistles that the Braille Sense does, but if you just
want something with which to interact with your mobile device or to take a
quick note, this sounds like it.  Joy
