What’s Out There: Notetakers

April 1, 2010 - 4:34 pm 2 Comments

Notetakers, or PDAs for the Blind, are quite an investment. HOwever, they do have several advatages over a laptop. Namely, because they use proprietary environments, they are virus free & accessibility issues are a non-issue. I made a few slipups while speaking in the video. Regarding the hard drive on the Braille Plus, I mentioned something called the “Icon.” The Icon is a notetaker manufactured by LevelStar, which is a sibling product to the Braille Plus. I didn’t have it in this comparison, since they’re the same thing. Regarding the connectivity options, the very last item on the right with the $5,995 price tag was the Braille Sense, not the Braille Plus. This should ease anyone’s confused mind. Questions? Feel free to leave them in the comments.
