HumanWare Launches the BrailleNote Apex – Shipping December 1st, 2009

Longueuil, November 11, 2009 -- HumanWare has 
launched the BrailleNote Apex, the thinnest and 
lightest notetaker especially for professionals and students who are blind.

Powerful and sleek at just 2 cm (0.78") thick and 
weighing only 812 grams (1.8 lbs), the 
BrailleNote Apex is designed for portability and 
functionality. Intelligent ergonomics have always 
been the benchmark of HumanWare products, and the 
BrailleNote Apex performs with comfort and 
agility. A comfortable full-size Braille keyboard 
makes notetaking quick and easy, while 
HumanWare's signature thumb keys make extensive reading effortless.

"As a proud supporter of Braille literacy, 
HumanWare is committed to developing products 
that help blind people to fully participate in 
the quickly evolving, digital world around them. 
Because we believe that communication is the key 
to success, we strive to put every opportunity in 
the hands of our customers with Braille products 
that meet their needs every day. The BrailleNote 
Apex puts the power of digital communication at 
everyone's fingertips," says Gilles Pepin, CEO of HumanWare.

Added horsepower and multiple storage options 
define the BrailleNote Apex's productivity with 
its 8 GB of internal memory and support for high 
capacity SDHC cards, along with 4 high-speed USB 
2.0 ports, built-in Wi-Fi, Ethernet and Bluetooth.

The advanced technology is driven by the new 
Windows CE 6.0 operating system which enables the 
expansion of KeySoft, a comprehensive, 
user-friendly suite of productivity applications 
with feature-rich content that is 100% 
accessible. This powerful software combination 
will facilitate future enhancements and ongoing 
improvements in response to user requests.

Almost ten years after the introduction of the 
BrailleNote, the revolutionary BrailleNote Apex 
is the ninth notetaking device in a line of 
products that has been helping people who are 
blind to be a vital part of the global information age since 2000.
