For more than a generation, Nota Bene’s singular dedication to serve the needs of academic work — something we, too, know about, from our own scholarly endeavors — along with our highly-regarded support —  has led to forging a genuine multigenerational community of users. Whether as a workaday user, or a member of the “Friends of Nota Bene” (a group of scholars who have banded together to support the software they rely on with testing, feedback, and financial resources), you’re part of a software community that stands out from the cacophony of techie self-described gurus.

In a world where so many software companies are trying to figure out how to maximize revenues by gathering data so that they can sell you more stuff (of the kind you already have), we remain committed to our original vision — creating software that provides the tools that help you explore territories you’ve not visited before, so you can open up new worlds to all of us. Our commitment is to create the tools that will let you write, teach, mentor, and create.

Thus, Nota Bene has created a special environment, one that has long been defined by its out-of-the-ordinary characteristics. It is not your usual program. It is not your typical software company. And it gathers around it an exceptional community of users.
