@brian_hartgen I'm curious why you went with the Humanware offering over the BrailleSense? Not trying to start an argument or debate, but I personally preordered the BS7 and am incredibly excited for it. The evolve seems like a very cool device, but I'm not sure how much I'd get out of something like KeySoft as a power user and other than KS it's just a 6+grand screenless laptop with a kinda meh feeling qwery keyboard, although way better than the monarch, mid-level battery life for a windows laptop, and all an all-plastic shell. This is far from just a Humanware thing, I wish these AT companies would make their flagship products, worth 6+ grand, out of metal instead of plastic. Honestly if Humanware had the qwerty ready at csun and not just a dummy model they might've got me, but I don't want to code on a braille keyboard or have 40 cells. Once again not trying to start any arguments here, but I'm curious what you see yourself using your Evolve for? I plan on basically entirely replacing my phone and tablets with the BrailleSense, but everyone uses their notetakers differently.

@brian_hartgen Totally fair, personal preference and all. I've been a die-hard android user for years, and the thought of a cute little braille tablet with a display, nice keyboard, replaceable battery, and the ability to remotely control my computer through NVDA Remote in addition to my Pixel phone is super attractive to me. Can't say I've seen the bad english anywhere, the only bit I did see on the bs7 was it said "gesture on" and "gesture off" instead of "gestures on" and "gestures off", and that doesn't bug me much, especially since I saw selvas fix stuff like that on the SensePlayer when I first got it. In any case thanks for engaging with me, power users who use braille notetakers outside of the school environment are rare but they always fascinate me because I'm one myself.

@TheQuinbox @brian_hartgen The Braillesense 7 is a seriously interesting device. I can see a lot of uses for it outside of a school environment, considering I already do most of my work from my phone. I do wonder if that workflow would be improved or not by a BrailleSense

@fireborn @brian_hartgen I'm going to wager that mine will be, I love physical buttons, which is one of the main reasons I love the SensePlayer, bu tno Google services hinders it a bit.

@TheQuinbox @brian_hartgen I do wonder how possible it would be to install Google play services on it. I think the braille sense does have the play store, right?

@fireborn @brian_hartgen Yeah, the BrailleSense is a full Google-certified device. A fully functional Android tablet that lets you even put Termux on it. The NVDA remote client really interests me too.

@TheQuinbox @brian_hartgen Is this an NVDA remote client for the BrailleSense, or another one? As far as I know, the BrailleSense has extremely odd keyboard handling, at least the BrailleSense6 does. Using an accessibility service to intercept the keyboard, or a USB keyboard, doesn't work reliably.

@fireborn @brian_hartgen It's for the BrailleSense, and it literally comes with a QWERTY keyboard in the case, so I'd hope the handling isn't bad, lol.
