No.
The Orbit only reads plain text or brf files.

I put up my own audio description of the Orbit Reader 40 along with my attempt 
at a recording of the two keyboards being used to compare the sound levels.

Subject: Orbit Reader 40 review? Thoughts?

Hello list,
So I was thinking of upgrading to the Orbit Reader 40 display, but haven't 
really been able to come across any reviews on the product. Write ups on the 
Orbit Reader 20 Plus yes, but not much for the 40? Can I just assume that 
they're the same, but for amount of Braille cells?
There was one review I came across on Apple Vis but it was more focused on the 
device's 
sound<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.applevis.com%2Fforum%2Fbraille-apple-products%2Forbit-reader-40-audio-volume-level-examples=04%7C01%7C%7C6df2522eae104cda9ac708d9085cdbe8%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435%7C1%7C0%7C637550017177746835%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000=MAPUxsu7P21UtNBQfM9%2FKPxM9fKAYRZd8G0V2BtGi%2Fg%3D=0>
 than anything else. I did find one YouTube

 but it's in French and well... I don't speak French.
I was thinking of the Mantis 40, but honestly, I'm pretty happy with my 
mechanical keyboard for my desktop and I already have an 80 cell display 
connected to it, so this would be a more portable option for my laptop and 
iPhone for reading mostly. I don't need another keyboard for that.
Anyway, if anyone's got an Orbit Reader 40, I'd be curious to know their 
thoughts on how it's holding up and general usage.
Thanks,
Cristóbal
