HumanWare

The creation of tactile graphics for the visually impaired community has always been quite limited. Over the years, Teachers of the Visually Impaired have often used word processing software as a tool for this task; however, this approach involves several steps and is not the most efficient. That's why we're excited to announce that HumanWare is now the master distributor of TactileView, continuing the exceptional development work of the Thinkable team behind this innovative software. It’s an innovative tactile design tool that makes images accessible at your fingertips. TactileView enables persons with a visual impairment to create and read tactile graphics and embossed material.

For over 35 years, braille literacy has been a fundamental aspect of HumanWare's identity, aligning perfectly with the Indian startup, Thinkerbell Labs’ vision of achieving 100% braille literacy worldwide. With the introduction of "Annie," the flagship product from Thinkerbell Labs, HumanWare is excited to contribute to the braille learning journey as a distributor in the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. This becomes especially significant given the global shortage of TVIs (teachers of the visually impaired) and the common overwork they face to keep their students on par with their sighted peers. With interactive learning and the introduction of gamification for the first time in a braille learning solution, the technology’s impact has been profound on thousands of students in India and the US, helping them excel in braille. In early 2023, Annie’s variant “Polly” was launched nationwide in the United States, in partnership with the American Printing House for the Blind. Polly proved to be a blockbuster success, with its first batch selling out in less than 10 days. The braille learning solution even made it to TIME’s Best Inventions list for 2022. HumanWare has been a stalwart in the assistive technology space. With Annie's arrival in the UK and Ireland, as well as its upcoming expansion to Australia and New Zealand shortly, HumanWare and Thinkerbell Labs are set to revolutionize braille learning in these geographies. #innovation #assistivetech #HumanWare #partnership #startup #madeinindia #business #visuallyimpaired Internet Society Foundation Global Talent Hunt & Recognition Foundation Drishti Foundation Trust  Action For India Venture Center (Official Account) Rainmatter Foundation Wadhwani Foundation Frontline Funding Nirmaan Organization Pratham Education Foundation EnAble India Save the Children International
