From HumanWare: Trade in and Save on BrailleNote Evolve
Now is the perfect time to move to the next generation of braille notetaking and computing. For a limited time, trade in your BrailleNote Touch Plus 32 or BrailleSense 6 and receive:
- £1,000 toward a new BrailleNote evolve 32
- £500 toward a new BrailleNote evolve 20
This trade-in program helps you upgrade to BrailleNote evolve while saving on your purchase.
Don’t wait. This limited-time trade-in program is expected to end at the end of 2026. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity while trade-in credits remain available.
This program is about more than upgrading technology.
Every eligible BrailleNote Touch Plus collected through this initiative will be donated through HumanWare’s Emerging Braille Program, helping students and individuals in developing countries gain access to braille technology that might otherwise be out of reach.
A braille device can open doors to education, employment, and independence. Stories like Erik’s remind us how a single tool can help build a brighter future.
Trade-ins are not available for online orders. To take advantage of this offer, please contact your local HumanWare team.

I am thrilled to report that we have released even more updated user manuals for our products.
The sixth edition of the BT Speak manual covers features up to the June 2026 release, with some of the features in the July release also documented.
The same is true for the second edition of the BT Braille users’ manual.
As new features are added, the manuals will be updated and we’ll be able to release newer versions more quickly.
