See It In Action
Who Is This Best For?
- Braille users who want the fastest, most responsive Braille tablet available, with real-time finger tracking and Smart Scroll
- Students and professionals who need high-speed typing via a detachable QWERTY keyboard alongside traditional Perkins-style Braille input
- Users who want instant AI assistance — a single press of the dictation button, or a long press of the Home button, brings up Google Gemini
- IT staff, teachers, or colleagues who need to view or control the device visually via the built-in screen or HDMI output
- Anyone upgrading from an earlier BrailleSense model who wants simple data migration and calendar/contact syncing
BrailleSense 7 was recognised with an iF Design Award 2026 in the Product Design / Computer category, developed through a co-design process between professional product designers and a blind product planner — a heuristic design approach that lets users intuitively recognise functions through tactile cues.
