BrailleNote evolve Support

The BrailleNote Evolve is HumanWare’s next-generation note taker, designed to redefine what a modern note taker can be. Powered by Microsoft Windows 11 Professional and enhanced with the familiar KeySoft accessibility suite, it combines the performance of a mainstream computer with the simplicity and usability that BrailleNote users know and trust. 

More than just a note taker, the BrailleNote Evolve is a personal computer that adapts as your needs grow. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced user, it offers a reliable, accessible, and future-ready solution, your trusted companion every step of the way. Starting from KeySoft to full window screen reader skills, the BrailleNote Evolve works around you.  

With KeySoft seamlessly integrated into the Microsoft Office suite, applications like Word and PowerPoint become fully braille-driven, designed around a braille-first user interface. This approach not only enhances usability but also empowers users to be creative and productive with greater ease. 

No. The BrailleNote Evolve simplifies computer use for early adopters. With HumanWare’s well-known KeySoft accessibility suite, it incorporates familiar key commands that teachers and users have relied on across both past and current HumanWare braille devices. 

The BrailleNote evolve is an all in – one solution, providing a braille keyboard and display for reading and writing. In addition the BrailleNote Evolve is powered by KeySoft although not restricted, meaning it can be used by younger learners who have yet to be introduced to screen reader skills. This all-in-one solution provides a full windows computer removing barriers and fears of knowing how to operate a screen reader. Keysoft addons are also implemented withing the Microsoft Office suite to make using apps like word and PowerPoint more usable in a braille centric way.  

The BrailleNote Evolve is currently available in 32- and 20-cell versions, with a QWERTY model expected by the end of the 2026 year. The upcoming QWERTY version will feature 40 braille cells and a form factor comparable to the Mantis braille display. With it containing more braille cells, the price is expected to be slightly higher that the current BrailleNote Evolve 32.
