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

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.
