Tried Teachmint and Senses Digital Boards – Here’s My Honest Take

General

I’ve had the opportunity to use both the Teachmint X and Senses Digital Boards in my school over the last few months. I thought it would be helpful to share a straightforward comparison for anyone considering these options.

:office_building: Company Ecosystem

Teachmint has an education-first approach, featuring robust hardware that brings its software to life. Everything is integrated from delivering lessons to keeping parents updated and even generating homework with AI. Teachmint’s LMS app for teachers, students, and parents makes coordination easy.

On the other hand, Senses is solid for in-class use but doesn’t extend much beyond that. It leans more towards hardware focusing more on teaching workflows.

:laptop: Software Experience

Teachmint’s EduAI, live classes from the whiteboard, AI-generated quizzes, and cloud syncing enhances the user experience. The whiteboard syncs in real-time, allowing you to create homework or quizzes on the fly using AI. I like that the AI search gives clean, student-safe content. No distractions, no irrelevant links - just academic stuff.

Senses, while decent, has better handwriting recognition, but it lacks an AI assistant and cloud syncing. Plus, there’s no dedicated app for students or parents.

:package: Hardware Build & Specs

Both panels run on Android 14 and have solid processors. However, Teachmint’s RK3576 processor, equipped with a dedicated AI NPU, gives it an advantage when using AI demanding features.

The camera and microphone quality are pretty similar across both devices.

Power consumption is a significant factor - Teachmint panels are much more energy-efficient, especially the 75 and 86-inch models.

Teachmint also features 9H toughened glass compared to Senses’ 7H, which you can definitely feel when writing with pressure. It offers a more premium touch experience.

Senses Digital Board does have slightly brighter screens on the larger sizes (75"/86"), but it uses more power.

Final Thoughts

If you’re looking for a comprehensive digital transformation that includes AI features, student and parent communication, Teachmint clearly stands out. It’s more of a complete ecosystem than just a simple board.

If you’re in the market for a Digital Board focused solely on digital teaching, Senses can do the job.

Let me know if anyone else has tried both – would love to hear your thoughts too.

Totally agree with your detailed comparison – very balanced!

I’ve been using Teachmint X for over a year now and honestly, the combination of hardware and software is what sets it apart. While many boards stop at in-class engagement, what I love about Teachmint is how it extends the experience beyond the classroom — homework generation, student/parent communication, and even performance insights are all streamlined into one ecosystem.

:white_check_mark: One underrated strength is the software stability. Whether it’s AI quiz creation, smart topic detection, or the live sync across devices – it all just works. Also, the newer updates to EduAI and smart PDF tools make things even more seamless for lesson planning.

Also echoing your point on toughened glass – after a year of daily use, the writing surface on Teachmint still feels top-notch. And yes, the lower power consumption is a bonus no one talks about enough, especially for large classrooms.

If anyone is on the fence and looking for a full teaching + school ops setup, Teachmint is definitely the one to go for.
