BrailleNote evolve: a new chapter in braille-first computing - Coming Spring 2026!
35 years of braille innovation
HumanWare has always been at the forefront of braille technology. From the original BrailleNote Classic to the BrailleNote Touch Plus, each generation has reflected a simple idea: when braille users have tools built for them, independence becomes possible in new ways. With BrailleNote evolve, this commitment takes its most significant step forward yet.
KeySoft meets Windows 11 Pro
BrailleNote evolve is the first device to bring the trusted KeySoft experience into the world of Windows 11 Pro. This is more than a technical change; it is a shift in what a braille notetaker can be. KeySoft continues to provide the structured, predictable, and braille-centered environment that users rely on. Windows introduces the flexibility, compatibility, and long-term performance needed in today’s digital world. Together, they create a computer designed around braille, while connecting directly to the same tools used in schools and workplaces everywhere.
A tool that grows with every user
What makes evolve particularly meaningful is the way it adapts to users at every stage. A new learner can begin entirely in KeySoft, writing, reading, and navigating without the complexity of Windows. As confidence grows, Microsoft 365 becomes part of the workflow.
Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint are all optimized for braille through KeySoft add-ins, allowing students to complete assignments, communicate with teachers, and collaborate in the same digital environment as their sighted peers. When ready, users can explore the full Windows environment using KeySoft powered by NVDA or any other screen reader of their choice and develop the advanced skills needed for higher education and employment.
A modern architecture for peak performance
This experience is supported by significant improvements under the hood. BrailleNote evolve includes a fast, modern processor and 32 GB of RAM, the highest performance ever offered in a braille notetaker. These upgrades are not about speed alone.
They allow KeySoft and Windows to work smoothly together, reduce delays when switching tasks, and ensure that the device remains capable of supporting new software and services for many years. Windows 11 Pro also brings enterprise-grade security and compatibility with the management tools used in schools and businesses, helping IT teams deploy and maintain the device with ease.
