About Thinkerbell Labs

We believe accessibility should not be an exception.

Yet millions of blind and visually impaired individuals still lack the tools they need to learn, access information and participate independently. We’re working to change that through technology.

We build accessible products that support greater independence at every stage of life, from foundational learning to education, employment and beyond.

Our ecosystem begins with Annie, the World’s First Self-Learning Braille Learning Device, and Tactera, a 32-Cell Smart Refreshable Braille Notetaker, Supercharged with AI.

Our work has been recognised by the Hon’ble Prime Minister and President of India, and globally by MIT Solve, TIME, UNDP, Forbes India and Forbes Asia.
