What's the difference Between the DotPad X and the Monarch?

• The DotPad is a multiline capable braille display, and does not have any other additional features or navigable apps on board.
• The Monarch, created in collaboration between HumanWare, APH, and DOT Inc for their multiline braille technology, is more of a notetaker device, similar to the BrailleNote touch Plus, running the Android operating system and including the KeySoft system and its apps. It too can be a braille display, but that is not its primary focus.
