Product Overview
Thank you for purchasing the BrailleNote Touch Plus, the next generation of HumanWare’s BrailleNote
family of products. Please note that the BrailleNote Touch Plus will simply be referred to as the
BrailleNote Touch throughout this guide.
The BrailleNote Touch Plus is not “just a Braille note taker”: It is the first intuitive, simple to use Braille
tablet. While operating as the keyboard, the built-in touchscreen also acts as a visual display for sighted
teachers or assistants who will want to interact with the tablet. And for those who may want a more
traditional typing experience, the BrailleNote Touch includes a physical Keyboard Cover attached to the
carrying case that can be used as an alternative to the touchscreen. You can also use your own standard
Bluetooth or USB keyboard if you wish to do so.
We designed the BrailleNote Touch with one thing in mind: to realign efficiency and accessibility.
