BrailleNote evolve is a braille-first device that blends KeySoft with Windows 11, NVDA support, and Microsoft 365 compatibility so people who are blind can read, write, and collaborate using braille while working with mainstream tools. It is designed for students and professionals and to grow with programs.
Say hello to the most powerful note taker!

BrailleNote evolve pairs KeySoft’s structured, braille-first environment with Windows 11 Pro and Microsoft 365, so students can submit Word documents, attend virtual meetings, and collaborate with sighted peers using the exact same tools. Full NVDA support is built in, and every evolve ships with 6 months of JAWS included, so users can get started with their preferred screen reader from day one, at no extra cost. Available with 20 or 32 braille cells, evolve grows as you do.
