Not really. There is a menu much like the main menu, but not all options
are available with first-letter navigation. Beyond that there are
differences in the interface. Take the wordprocessor:
You select it from the programs menu and, instead of a menu of
wordprocessing choices, you have a blank document immediately. Now you
have a file menu, edit menu, and so on available with different
keystrokes. Say you go to the file menu and select "save as". You will
(and as I said before I have never used one, I am putting this together
from other people's experience and the manual) have a dialog box with
things like file name, type, where to save, and so on. You navigate with
the tab forward (space-4-5) and tab back (space-1-2) keys, filling in
fields as required and selecting a folder and so on.
The structure is like that throughout the machine: everything is made up
of dialog boxes through which you must tab instead of yes/no questions and
lists of prompts like the bn. It is all a matter of preference and, as I
said, I have never actually used one so I cannot say for sure that there
is not an easier way of doing things. Both the bs and vs manuals never
mention an alternative way, though, so I assume that that is how it works.
HTH.
Have a great day,
Alex

Are its commands and menus at all like the m-power? I like the
menu
structure and the ability to choose or use a command to do a
task. Does
it have a bt keyboard?

Hi Eric:
I have not TAKEN THE BRAILLESENSE through its paces, but one will
soon
arrive here on SOME KIND OF A LOAN from a reseller and I will
have AMPLE
TIME to play with it.
Without mincing words, GW Micro DOES PROVIDE better tech support.
Their
staff RESPOND quickly to questions and they do indeed help solve
problems.
In my opinion, they do a better job of testing and then again
retesting
their software offerings before releasing it to the marketplace.
As for hardware, the BrailleSense is much lighter in size; only
the
MPower comes somewhat close to matching the BrailleSnse in size.
The
only caveat orking against he Brailleense is that itcomes only in
a
32-cell system and currently DOES NOT support the GPS offering
from GW
Micro; the company has indicated that THIS WILL CHANGE!!
Unlike Humanware that MANUFACTURES the BrailleNote, BrailleSense
is
actually manufactured in South Korea by H I M S, and GW Micro is
its
North American distributor. Both companies do have to work
together on
the project.
Another great thing going for the BrailleSense: It has a
built-in LCD
display. Its built-in Ethernet port is a plus for me as Cat5
cables
won't become extinct or discontinued in the morning!!
Sincerely,
Olusegun
Denver, Colorado
