BrailleNote Touch - My First NoteTaker

The BrailleNote Touch – My First Notetaker is a special-edition refreshable-braille tablet designed to introduce young children (ages 4–8) to digital braille learning and literacy. It pairs a 32-cell braille display with the power of a modern, Android-based tablet and HumanWare’s KeySoft suite. The device lets early learners read, write, and explore content in braille or speech, build math and language skills, and gain confidence using accessible technology — all wrapped in a user-friendly, curriculum-aligned package that transitions nicely to more advanced braille devices later on.
