A special-edition BrailleNote Touch Plus designed to help early learners build confidence, literacy, and independence.
My first notetaker, a special edition of the BrailleNote Touch Plus, is designed to help children build and strengthen their braille skills with confidence. Available since November 1, this edition focuses on early literacy, practical classroom use, and giving young learners a reliable tool for reading, writing, and exploring braille in a structured way.
A complete braille curriculum built in
A structured path that supports reading, writing, math, and language learning.
At the center of My first notetaker is the full Take-Off braille learning curriculum. With KeySoft core applications and guided learning tools, students can progress through braille lessons step by step. They can read and write in braille and text-to-speech, learn mathematics with Nemeth and UEB support, and explore language concepts with the built-in braille tables. This structured approach gives teachers and families a clear foundation for supporting braille literacy from the very beginning.
Supports real activities, every day
My first notetaker is built for the realities of the classroom. Students can open prepared Word documents in their preferred braille code, complete assignments, and create tactile or printed materials by connecting to an embosser or printer. The device encourages strong digital habits early on, including touch typing with a QWERTY keyboard and basic file-handling skills that help learners stay organized. These everyday skills prepare students for future devices and more advanced assistive technology.
Thoughtful design for diverse learners
This special edition supports young learners with a wide range of needs, including children with multiple disabilities. Its combination of tactile, auditory, and visual tools allows educators to adapt instruction to each student’s strengths. The predictable interface, clear navigation, and ready-to-use curriculum make the device especially helpful for students who benefit from structured routines and accessible, consistent learning environments.
Safe, stable, and ready for the classroom
My first notetaker operates on Android 8.1. For secure and reliable performance, HumanWare recommends limiting internet connectivity and using built-in KeySoft applications. These guidelines help ensure a focused, dependable learning experience for young students and the teachers who support them.
Growing skills that last
Braille literacy, digital organization, touch typing, and everyday abilities that carry students into future grades.
From braille literacy and math to reading, writing, touch typing, and early digital organization, My first notetaker supports the development of skills that follow students through school and into everyday life. For teachers and families, it offers a practical, flexible way to build confidence and independence while supporting long-term learning goals.
