[bcab] Re: Opinions on the Voice Sense from GWMicro.

My understanding is that they are based on Windows 2005 but accept my 
appologies if I am wrong about this.  I have only seen the braille versions 
of these products.  The company that sells them in the UK is Force ten.

A key issue with products like this is support.  If the Braille Sense goes 
wrong, what kind of support can you get?  Does force Ten have staff that can 
give you support that are based in the office or is it likely that you will 
have to wait a day or 2 if staff are training or out at exhibitions?

I recently visited force Ten's site and I have to say I found the 
accessibility very poor with unlabled graphics and a general lack of propper 
use of headings, tables etc.  Maybe I visited the wrong site but see what 
you think.  Also contact force ten perhaps and ask more questions.

Regards

Hi All.

I've recently been hearing a lot about the Braille Sense and Voice Sense
from Gwmicro.

How do they compare to say the Braille/voice note or the packmate?
Are they a closed platform like the Braille/voice note where what you
get is specifically designed for the device so works very well or is it
more like the packmate where it's just a screen reader on a PDA?
Can you get a QWERTY keyboard built in or is it just Braille input?
Who sells them in the UK and where would I get a price list?

Thanks for any info.
Cheers.
Nick.
