The future of braille at an affordable price
Beacon Street Innovations is building next-generation Braille displays that expand access to digital content—without putting transformative technology out of reach.
Our Mission
Building access, not just devices
70% of blind adults are chronically unemployed. We think better tools change that math — so we're building multi-line Braille displays that give people faster, richer access to digital content, at a price that doesn't put the technology out of reach.
of blind adults are chronically unemployed today. Better access to information is part of the fix.
affordable, mass-market multi-line Braille displays exist on the market today. We're building the first.
Braille cells refreshed per line, so reading keeps pace with how people actually read.
Multi-line access, done right
Multi-line displays create dramatically better access to digital media than single-line displays ever could — more context per glance, less scrolling, faster reading. Our job is to make that experience affordable enough to reach the people who need it most.
