A BrailleNote is a computer made by HumanWare for persons with visual impairments. It has a braille keyboard, speech synthesizer, and a 32-[1] or 18-row Braille monitor, depending on model. It can only use software made by the manufacturer. There are many other products with a similar name, including the BrailleNote GPS. Its use is suggested by the State University of New York Center for Assistive Technology[2] and is sometimes purchased by colleges for use by the disabled.[3] The BrailleNote product series, introduced in 2000, is regarded as being the first of its kind.[4] The BrailleNote mPower has 128 megabytes of onboard memory and uses DiskOnChip memory to avoid losing data if power is lost.[5] The new BrailleNote Apex, a thinner and lighter version of its predecessors, runs Windows CE 6.[6] It uses the iMx31 processor.[7] It usually sells for about $6,000.
