GW Micro is excited to announce a new version of the Braille Sense: the Braille Sense Plus.
The Braille Sense Plus provides the functionality expected of a laptop, while remaining
a compact, portable notetaker.
Light and compact in size (2lbs/924g) The Braille Sense Plus is equipped with 32 Braille cells and speech output. Since it weighs only 2lbs (924g), you can carry it very easily. Don't worry about shoulder pain from carrying a heavy laptop or notetaker.
Easy User Interface
The Braille Sense Plus is designed with a menu structure similar to Microsoft Windows.
It is very easy for beginners to use.
Built-in Bluetooth and wired and wireless Internet
Experience Bluetooth connectivity and high-speed internet access without adding adapters.
Ethernet connection : 10/100Base-T (built-in) Wireless network : IEEE 802.11b/g (built-in)
Bluetooth connection (built-in)
A variety of software programs
File manager, word processor (including advanced formatting features), schedule manager,
address manager, e-mail, MSN messenger, FM radio, Daisy player, media player, scientific
calculator, alarm clock, stop watch and more.
Wider LCD and VGA interface
Both blind and sighted people can read the same information using the built-in LCD
screen. This is especially helpful for those who are deaf-blind. In addition, you
can have a conversation with a large group using the VGA port with an external monitor
or projector.
Global positioning system GW Sense Navigation
The GPS system can be included with Braille Sense Plus as an optional program (varies
with country). The specification is subject to change without prior notice.
8GB built-in flash memory
You don't need to carry compact flash or SD card for data storage. 8GB will give
you sufficient space for documents, databases, music and more.
Clear MP3 format recording and powerful media player
Record directly to an MP3 file. You can easily record a two hour lecture because
the MP3 format provides a small file size. Also, you can record directly from another
component using the Braille Sense Plus line-in function. Besides recording, there
are FM radio, Daisy player and media player functions which can be controlled by
audio-exclusive buttons.
