Re: I have the orbit reader 20 plus and don't think I like it much.
Re: I have the orbit reader 20 plus and don't think I like it much. @32, actually no those aren't the only two options. There is this thing called the neoBraille that runs on Android, but it's very limited. From what I heard in the Blind Bargains podcast that talked about it, it can't even go on the Play Store. If I remember correctly, the company made their own app store.Also, I would never get the Braille Sense. First, it's on an older version of Droid, Droid Lollypop to be exact unless they've changed it, and the processor is much slower. I've had my hands on one and was not impressed.Oh yeah also no TouchBraille.

Re: I have the orbit reader 20 plus and don't think I like it much.
Re: I have the orbit reader 20 plus and don't think I like it much. lazy fuckers, should have considered that before producing thousands or hundreds and assigning a 4000 dollar price tag. Also that's common sense. Newer version= more apps. I mean seriously, if your os version is over 2 or years old, it is outdated. And that's fine if you are a consumer buying something like a phone, because there are many different phones to choose from, and you can choose to buy one that supports later software. But with this, no choice to upgrade, and no other devices to buy with android. Well now there is the braille sense, but again, only 2 options.

Re: I have the orbit reader 20 plus and don't think I like it much.
Re: I have the orbit reader 20 plus and don't think I like it much. In my opinion, sharper braille is better.DK why, but my fingers can't read braille that fast on paper, I know now, because the letters on paper are kind of too soft or something, and then I sometimes have to go backwards through a word because I didn't get some letters at first and that takes some time, as you can imagine. Btw, I can't use contracted braille, so that is a part of the issue I am sure.Now, with the sharper braille on my note taker or however that thing is called in english, I can at least read more comfortably, if not faster by a very large degree, that's a plus for me.Yeah, the things with the fingers hurting didn't happen to me, but I sometimes need to take breaks because the hand itself begins to hurt. And that's not really a problem, though. I mean, if our sighted pears get their eyes smarting by too much reading or whatever, then it's absolutely fare we should get the same with our fingers rofl.
