The notes app was one that we contemplated creating for a long time. Will it rival existing note-taking apps? Will notes be read or heard? Will the user experience be ideal? These were just some of the questions we asked when designing it. Until we met with people from the community and got some incredible use cases from the community. We list some here for inspiration but the boundaries of what you can do with this app are only set by you, the user. - Write and transmit sentences or phrases to Bonocles of braille learning students in a classroom environment. - Store presentation notes and go through them on Bonocle in braille as you make a presentation. - Take and read meeting notes or ideas to discuss or share with your team - Etc… Bonocle Notes also includes some features such as simple formatting, sharing with others, or importing notes and it’s just plain simple so that you can have the full experience as easy as it gets.
