You don't need to go into VoiceOver settings to connect the Orbit Writer. You just need to do that once when you initially pair the Orbit Writer. After that, it just connects automatically when you turn on the Orbit Writer. It's also pretty simple.
The Orbit Writer basically just has 10 keys on it. Eight for the braille dots, one for the space bar and then a multifunction key which gives you arrows, menus, select and the like. I'm not sure how the Hable One could give you many fewer keys then that. Plus having fewer keys isn't always a good thing. You'd have to provide more details on why this is a good thing with the Hable One. I got the Orbit Writer before I ever knew about the Hable One, so I didn't do a side by side comparison. I took a look at the Hable One recently, and I definitely liked some things about it, but since I'm not unhappy with my Orbit Writer, I couldn't see spending another $275 for the Hable One. Note that one advantage of the Orbit Writer is that it only costs $100. Finally, I can see how someone could prefer one product over the other, but I don't get how feelings could be so strong that someone would say they'd never touch the other product. I'd never say never when it comes to technology. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Outlook -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Joshua Hendrickson Sent: Wednesday, March 2, 2022 4:08 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Orbit Writer I prefer my Hable One. I wouldn't touch an orbit writer. I like that my Hable One has fewer keys then the orbit writer. I also don't have to go into voice over accessibility then braille settings just to connect my Hable One. I just turn on my Hable, go to bluetooth settings and there it is. It is easy as anything.
