The thinnest, lightest notetaker available for people who are blind -
HumanWare launches the BrailleNote Apex
LONGUEUIL, QC, Nov. 11 /PRNewswire/ - 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.
