HumanWare Braille Workshop Featuring BrailleNote Evolve and Monarch
New England Low Vision and Blindness is proud to collaborate with HumanWare to present an engaging, education-focused, in-person braille technology workshop created for schools, educators, and organizations supporting blind and visually impaired individuals.
Experience the New BrailleNote Evolve
Be among the first to experience the HumanWare BrailleNote Evolve, the next generation of braille notetaking designed to support learning, productivity, and independence. This special workshop offers attendees an exclusive introduction to the new BrailleNote Evolve, including its innovative features, improved workflow, and how it builds on the trusted BrailleNote platform.
Participants will gain valuable insight into how the BrailleNote Evolve can help students, educators, and professionals create, manage, and access information more efficiently—making it an essential tool for education, employment, and everyday life.
Explore the HumanWare Monarch
In addition to the BrailleNote Evolve, attendees will have the opportunity to experience the HumanWare Monarch, the world’s first dynamic multi-line braille tablet. Through hands-on demonstrations, participants can explore how Monarch’s large tactile display transforms the way braille readers interact with textbooks, graphics, mathematics, music, and other digital content.
Together, the BrailleNote Evolve and Monarch showcase the future of braille technology—from powerful note-taking and productivity to immersive tactile learning.
