I am still on a quest to find a braille display with a qwerty keyboard,
and I just saw that Orbit is about to release a forty cell display with a
qwerty keyboard. I’d love to hear about people’s experience with the
Orbit reader. I realize it won’t be the new display, but I do remember
that at least early on, people had a lot of negative things to say about
the Orbit reader. Is that still the case? In the blurb I read, it
said it’s compatible with Voiceover. Has anyone used an Orbit with
either a Mac or an iPhone?
As I recall, in an interview several years ago, Orbit Research
acknowledged reliability difficulties with their braille cell
technology, but claimed these problems had been rectified. To what
extent that's true, I am not in any position to verify independently.
Orbit's cells are also noisier and slower to refresh than Piezoelectric
cells. I prefer the latter, but there are people who prefer Orbit
Research cells.
