Have had My Hands on a SensePlayer for a Week or Two Now, some Observations

 

Overall I am very impressed by the SensePlayer.

Looks modern and feels great in the hand.

All applications and functions work as advertised..

My favourite apps are the Daisy player, File manager, FM Radio, Document reader, Podcasts, and smart connect..

If you are going to use the Senseplayer with your smart phone, you really do need to read the user manual, not just the quick start guide.

No issues connecting to WiFi or Bluetooth.

Default input time for T9 is quite quick, adjust in settings if you need.

Using tone keypad input when on a phone call to select numbers and then Number sign to activate, is a bit fiddly as you have to switch between numbers, symbols and back again.

When using Smart Connect, I wish sleep timer would be disabled as it turns off at the set time when you are using your smart phone: i.e. listening to a long document.

Some times I can’t work out when and why the SensePlayer will or will not let me back in to smart connect when sitting at the main menu.

For some reason, I keep hitting the Record button on the left and power/sleep on the right which of course do their function: go to the record folder or put unit in to sleep.

Using OCR against the Seeing AI app on my iPhone I’m still not convinced about.

The microphones do work well, but you can hear a bit of a hiss in the background.

I would have loved to see a dictation mode already on the unit.

But Hey, it is early times, and the potential of this unit will be amazing.

Vision Australia Vision Store Now Selling the EOne Bradley Timepiece

 

The Eone Bradley timepiece features raised hour markers that allow you to feel the time by touch: a triangular marker for twelve, elongated line segments for three, six, and nine, and shorter line segments for the other markers.

 

Two magnetised ball bearings travel around the watch face in separate, recessed tracks: one track around the centre center of the watch face's surface for the minute, and one track around the outside edge of the watch face for the hour.

 

To tell the time by touch, simply run your finger over the raised hour markers, feeling the markers where the ball bearings are located. If either ball bearing moves out of place, shake your wrist and they will snap back to the correct locations.

 

Features:

 

Modern, and stylish.

 

Bold prominent tactile markers “mark” for the passing of time.

 

Out of the box thinking to tell time by position of ball bearings for minute (top face), and hours around the outside.

 

Looks and feels like a quality built product.

 

Various timepieces and bands to choose from for mixing and matching formal ware, casual or in-between.

 

Looks like a cool designed timepiece when warn.

 

As the Braille on the box says “Designed for you. Design for everyone”. 

 

Listen to my interview with Ming from the US Who has had a EOne timepiece for a number of years:
