The power of Braille

Braille is essential for literacy skills among blind and visually impaired children and adults.

It enables access to written information, different languages, and supports equal opportunities in education. However, current Braille learning tools are often expensive, less engaging or outdated.

Introducing Tenomi

Designed for small hands

Tenomi can support Braille learners from early years upwards and delivers immediate haptic and auditory feedback to keep children motivated on their Braille journey.

Affordable and easy to use

Tenomi is also designed for busy QTVIs and learning support assistants looking for an engaging tool for their Braille learners.
