This is the time of the year where I start to think what things will be revealed by Apple with Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) coming up in May. This seems to be turning in to a bit of a tradition with Apple show casing their upcoming accessibility ehancements.
Whilst listening to a few podcast today with my wired USBC EarPods, I suddenly remembered the function where I can press and hold too fast forward or double press and hold to fast rewind on the click button on the wire of the EarPods.
Really did feel like I had a lot more control in zooming backwards and forwards through the podcast with using a physical button.
Especially where there are different people in a podcast, and your fast forwarding, you can skip over people very quickly by just listening to their voice profile as it were.
Humanware is proud to announce that BrailleNote evolve is evolving into something even greater.
HumanWare and Vispero have joined forces in a powerful partnership, united by a mission to empower individuals who are blind or visually impaired, opening doors to learning, awareness, and opportunities that help them thrive.
As part of this collaboration, we are delighted to offer a FREE 6-month JAWS subscription with every BrailleNote evolve. HumanWare also confirmed it will manage the global distribution of JAWS for BrailleNote, further expanding access to powerful screen reading technology for BrailleNote users worldwide.
This exceptional offering reflects the strong alignment between our two organisations. Together, we are committed to empowering users with the tools and skills they need to succeed, in education, rehabilitation and the workplace.
BrailleNote evolve is far more than a notetaker. It is the lightest and most portable braille computer of its kind, seamlessly combining Windows with the familiar KeySoft environment and a customised NVDA experience, all within one integrated device that puts braille at your fingertips. Now, with JAWS alongside it, BrailleNote evolve becomes an even more powerful gateway to independence, confidence and professional success.
Designed with everyone in mind, whether you are starting your learning journey with braille, studying in education, building confidence through rehabilitation, or advancing in the workplace, BrailleNote evolve adapts to your needs. Users can comfortably operate a full Windows computer through the accessible and familiar KeySoft interface, gradually developing essential screen reader skills at their own pace before fully moving to the JAWS experience.
Each time the CSUN AT Tech Conference rolls around (41st for 2026), Ialsways like to check out the list of Exhibitors.

Of course, Humanware is there as always.
Some personal and professional thoughts.
Still surprising that when I talk or demo the Braille Note Evolve which runs on Windows 11 Pro (with a Braille display), I still get asked these top questions, the answer to all is an absolute yes...
Will it run Windows applications?
Will it run assistive technology?
Can I plug peripherals to the device?
Can a person use what they have been using on a Windows desktop, laptop, and there assistive technology without having to retrain?
Can I use Microsoft Teams, Zoom etc for meetings, training etc??
As a Braille device, can it be easily supported not only in education or the work place, but at home as well?
Will IT folks in education or employment prefer this device?
Is it future proof for later versions of the OS?
Can IT folks remote in to the device?
Can It install network policy's on the device?
Can I install anti virus, malware detection etc on the device?
As single line braille displays are changing in to multi line tactile displays, Braille Note Takers should also be moving from running mobile OS in to Windows OS as this is what is used in education, and employment.
Time for a new age of Braille Note Takers - hence the Braille Note Evolve.
