Re: Orbit Reader feedback
I just downloaded the firmware onto an SD card plugged into my iPad using iOS 13.3 beta and an Apple Lightening Card Reader - marvellous! Orbit Reader 20 has updated easily.

Re: Orbit Reader feedback
One really neat thing the Orbit can do now is use the braille hid driver that was developed by Microsoft and Apple. You have to get the newest update but it is basically plug and play. Excited for this new driver and what it could do for folks. On Saturday, November 30, 2019 at 3:07:41 PM UTC-5, Greg Wocher wrote: > > Hello, > Yes it will connect to both the Mac and iPhone.

Re: Orbit Reader feedback
I'm on Android where we don't have that blinking issue, thankfully. I just got my brand new Orbit this week. It's quite happy on Android, on Linux, on Mac, and on Windows 10. Can't beat that! It became 20% pricier this year, unfortunately. Now priced at $599 from: https://www.orbitresearch.com/product/orbit-reader-20/ Executive Products have a fancy leather case that fits it snugly for $99, if that's of interest.

Re: Orbit Reader feedback
Hello, Yes it will connect to both the Mac and iPhone. The only issue I have when using it with my iPhone is that when you are in an edit field the cursor blinks constantly. If I could get that to stop I would use it more. Other than that it works well with both.
