HumanWare Launches the BrailleNote Apex
HumanWare has just launched the newest member of the BrailleNote family, the
BrailleNote Apex, the thinnest and lightest of note takers.
Powerful, but slim at just 2 cm (0.78˝) and weighing only 812 grams (1.8
lbs), the BrailleNote Apex is designed for on the go portability and high
functionality. The advanced technology features the acclaimed KeySoft
Version 9, a comprehensive suite of productivity applications with
feature-rich content.
Intelligent ergonomics have always been the benchmark of HumanWare products.
A comfortable full-size Braille or QWERTY keyboard makes note taking quick
and easy, while HumanWare’s signature thumb keys make extensive Braille
reading effortless.
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.
Almost ten years after the introduction of the BrailleNote, the
revolutionary BrailleNote Apex is the ninth note taking device in a line of
products, a vital part of the global information age since 2000.
HumanWare CEO, Gilles Pepin, will confirm HumanWare’s support of braille
literacy and the company’s commitment to the development of innovative
braille products. Product Specialists will discuss the new hardware
additions and explain the agility and capabilities that the upgraded Windows
CE 6 establishes to develop future KeySoft applications.
