Hi Jessica, Wow! I’m sorry to hear that you had so many problems with the device, all the more since you had the opportunity to test several different units. A Braille display whose cells don’t last is definitely no deal, no matter how great the price tag is. Glad you have your BrailleSense

Hi Donna, I tested several Orbit Readers for my braille and talking book library, and they all broke down within a few months, if not sooner. I loved the braille cells when they were all in good working order, so I bought an Orbit Reader 20 Plus shortly after it was released, hoping that the

Thanks, Jason. I just read Scott Davert’s review from 2021, and he did mention that. I’d love to get a demo, just to evaluate the braille cells before I make a purchase decision. But I sure do like the price tag a lot better than the one for the Activator, which is the only other qwerty

Orbit has just announced a display with a qwerty keyboard that will start shipping in June. I had a Mantis, but sold it. I loved the unit, but had trouble using the thumb keys due to arthritis in my thumbs. Donna > On Mar 23, 2024, at 9:30 AM, 'Kliph Miller Sr' via MacVisionaries > wrote: >
