No Barriers
Technology is for everyone. We give persons with disabilities a free Berk Studio Pro license: one year, renewable, without a watermark and open to commercial use. Applications are reviewed with an official document.
Opportunity, not charity
Writing software, designing an electronic board or a mechanical part, building an AI model — today each of these is both a profession and a way into entrepreneurship. We do not want the cost of a license to keep that door closed to anyone. Through No Barriers we give persons with disabilities every Berk Studio designer, on terms that let them sell what they make: equal opportunity, independence and participation in working life.
What the license covers
- Berk Studio Pro: the IDE and Visual Designer plus all Web, AI Model, Embedded and CAD designers.
- 1 year, renewable: just ask for a renewal before it ends.
- No watermark, commercial use allowed: you may sell what you make and earn an income with it.
- One license per person, one seat.
- Privacy: the programme name does not appear in the license name or key.
- From anywhere: we accept applications from anywhere in the world; Berk Studio's interface is in English and Turkish.
Two routes
Through an organisation (preferred)
We sign agreements with disability associations, federations and foundations; special-education schools and guidance centres; university disability-support offices and equivalent organisations abroad. The organisation confirms eligibility itself and sends us only a list of names, e-mail addresses, countries and languages; no information about disability ever reaches us.
Personal application (with a document)
If you are not connected to an organisation, you can apply with the form below and an official document showing your disability status: a disability ID card, an official disability assessment or medical board report, or an equivalent official document from your country. You may cover any diagnosis details; it is enough that your name and the official recognition of your disability are visible. After we review your document, your license arrives by e-mail (usually within 3 business days). For applicants under 18, a parent or guardian applies.
Personal application form
Required fields are marked with *. Your application is reviewed with your document; the result and the license key are sent to the e-mail address you enter.
Where Berk Studio stands today
Berk Studio is not yet equally accessible to everyone. We say so openly, and we are closing the gaps.
Available today
- English and Turkish interface.
- Four themes, including High Contrast.
- The interface does not rely on sound to convey information.
- The AI assistant helps in natural language.
Known limitations
- Screen-reader support is not yet adequate: buttons lack accessible names and the code editor's text is not exposed to screen readers.
- The font-size setting is not yet applied to the code editor; there is no interface scaling setting.
- Windows high-contrast mode is not followed automatically; the theme is chosen by hand.
- Full keyboard-only use has not been verified yet; the CAD and board design surfaces rely on a mouse.
Improvement plan
The first accessibility update comes in the first release after launch: accessible names, font-size and contrast fixes, keyboard navigation. Screen-reader support for the code editor is a larger piece of work; we will report its progress on this page.

What we collect and what we do not
- We collect: name, e-mail, country, an optional purpose (from fixed choices), whether a parent or guardian applied, the document type, the document itself and the date of your consents.
- Your document: stored encrypted on our server, opened only for the eligibility check and deleted as soon as a decision is made, at the latest within 30 days. You may cover diagnosis details.
- We do not ask: the form does not ask for your type of disability or a diagnosis; we ask for no health information other than the document.
- Use: only to assess the application, create and e-mail the license, and apply the one-license-per-person rule.
- Visibility: your participation does not appear in the license name and is not added to our customer records; data is kept on our license server in Turkey.
- Your rights: to withdraw consent or ask for your record to be deleted, write to info@berk-tech.com. Details: Privacy Policy.
