Re: Orbit Writer
I really like my Hable One. I'm almost tempted to get an orbit writer just to compare the 2 braille bluetooth keyboards. However, if I get an orbit writer and don't like it I don't want to have spent $100 and not be able to get my money back. I also have my input set to contracted braille and words for my typing.

Re: Orbit Writer
I just wanted to reply to this because I just got the Orbit Writer and have been playing around with the settings. These are the options that worked best for me: Braille input: contracted (automatically translate) Typing feedback: words I find it gets way less confused when I have it on words. Backspace doesn't tell me every character, but if I backspace through an entire word, it'll tell me the word I just deleted, so it works fine for me. It now works very reliably and I have not had any issues with it. My wife is ambivalent about it so far, but I like it personally.

Re: Orbit Writer
Hi Brandon, What I was trying to say is that I recommend typing with uncontracted Braille. I also changed my typing feedback to characters under hardware keyboards and then it would tell me what I was backspacing. I hope this helps a little bit.

Re: Orbit Writer
Wow! When I changed my typing feedback to characters, my Orbit writer does tell me what I am backspacing, but it does something rather weird. When I backspace something, it puts in wesrd characters. I'm playing with it now trying to figure it out. When I typed in characters andthen backspaced it, it entered weird things. It now is working fine, but that was definitely weird. I'll play with this more later and let you know.

RE: Orbit Writer
My Orbit Writer does announce what I'm deleting when I backspace. I can't track down a setting that would change this though. I will say though that if you're using contracted braille then the Orbit Writer will get confused when you start backspacing. You can avoid this by using uncontracted braille or switching to the on screen keyboard to do your deleting. I was also just looking through my Orbit Writer documentation, and another misconception I'd like to clear up is that you can connect your Orbit Writer through the braille support in VoiceOver, but you can also connect it as a keyboard through the Bluetooth settings. I don't do this myself, but I know some expressed a concern about having to go through the VoiceOver settings to pair the Orbit Writer. Obvoiusly, if you skip VoiceOver then you'll be losing out on functionality you only get through VoiceOver. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Outlook -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Brandon A.

RE: Orbit Writer
OK, that's good to know and thanks for the correction. Maybe it's different on newer watches or newer versions of WatchOS, but I could never pair my Bluetooth keyboards, like my Logitech K-380 with my Apple Watch. When researching this on line, I found articles like the following that said Bluetooth keyboards weren't supported on the Apple Watch. Of course this article is a bit dated, so maybe things have changed. https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/207130/how-do-i-pair-my-apple-keyboard-with-apple-watch Since the Hable One connects through vanilla Bluetooth as opposed to VoiceOver's braille settings, I just assumed it would have the same problem connecting to my Apple Watch that I had with the K-380. Note I said that I didn't think this would work, so I didn't state it as a fact, and I'm glad I was wrong and corrected. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Outlook -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Dennis Long Sent: Friday, March 4, 2022 2:22 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Orbit Writer Chris that is not correct.

Can anyone tell me if the orbit writer has any lag? I'd be getting it for my wife, who is very fast at typing on a braille keyboard layout.

RE: Orbit Writer
Another thing I like about the Orbit Writer is that I can use it with my Apple Watch. Since Bluetooth keyboards aren't supported on the Apple Watch, I don't think you could use a Hable One or a Ribo with the Apple Watch. You also can't use querty Bluetooth keyboards with the Apple Watch, so this is something VoiceOver users can use that sighted people can't do. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Outlook -Original Message- From: 'Harry Bell' via VIPhone Sent: Wednesday, March 2, 2022 11:54 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Orbit Writer The Hable One is brilliant for unlocking and using my iPhone while it is still in a zipped pocket under my coat.

Re: Orbit Writer
The Hable One is brilliant for unlocking and using my iPhone while it is still in a zipped pocket under my coat. The typing style is exactly like Braille Screen Input which I find more tiring. And nothing beats the Orbit Writer’s navigation wheel plus Select button, which replaces swiping and tapping in such an uncomplicated way!

RE: Orbit Writer
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 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.

Hmm, I'll have to take a look, but I'd think this could be changed in IOS's keyboard or braille settings. I too love my Orbit Writer. I like the fact that I can pair it to multiple devise and then switch between them. The only thing I thought was a challenge, and this isn't the fault of the device itself, is all of the keyboard commands I tried to learn to replace any on screen gesture I might use.

Orbit Writer and the Apple Watch SE
This weekend, I got myself an Apple Watch SE. So far I'm loving it, and I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions! One thing I discovered though, that I think is awesome, is that I can pair my Orbit Writer with my Apple Watch SE. This let's me type into edit fields and navigate around my Apple Watch. Unless I'm mistaken, you can't pair a keyboard with your Apple Watch, so this seems to be a nice perk for blind owners of the Apple Watch! This may be old news to the rest of you, but I'm pretty excited with this new discovery! -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Outlook -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Orbit Writer inserting spaces etc
On my iPhone SE 2020 running iOS 14.4.2 I notice that when using the notes app if I wish to insert a space when typing with the Orbit writer I need to tap the space bar twice in order for it to insert the space. I also have to tap dots seven or eight twice if I wish to delete a letter or insert a new line break. Is this a known bug?

I have ordered the orbit writer but I haven't been able to reach anybody concerning shipment I'm confused on what to do next?
Hello there. I've been trying to reach the people that are a bit research all day and I've been trying to reach them on previous days because I purchased the orbit rider keyboard from them two days ago for my birthday. I would like to know when I should try next because I can't get an answer out of them either way. I left a message on their phone and everything that no one responds to me. So what would you guys suggest I try next? Thank you. Jerry Mader Listen to my podcast the Mader cast. Please remember that it is adults only so listener discretion is strongly advised.

It is the same. Keep repeating the command and it cycles you through all the input options.

I haven't tried this yet, but I will. What if you put your output and input braille to 8-dot mode and that puts numbers in lower case, like in Nemith code arithmetic.

RE: an iPhone, Orbit writer question
Well, for me, doing the number sign didn’t work.

Yes, and in the Apple world, backspace is delete. Say you write the word brightness with the contractions for right and ness and decide you want a different word, if you backspace over it, does VO speak each character as you backspace, which deletes each character?

RE: Orbit Writer Review
Mickey, I have my writer set to echo words most of the time. But in the rotor settings on my iPhone, I have “characters” right next to “words” so, if I am editing something prior to sending it, I can easily flip back and forth between “words” and “characters” with space plus dots 2 3 and space dots 5 6. Of course, this applies only to the phone.

Re: Orbit Writer Review
Hi mickey, Actually, the new firmware that will be out next week, I hope, works fine with any setting, other than while deleting with dot 7. If you just have it set to words, it is not going to speak each letter you delete, so if you have used a contraction, it is a bit confusing if you need to backspace over it. But, that is true I think for any braille device, but with a physical braille display, you can read what you are deleting.

With keyboard echo set to characters, I am having no trouble at all writing and editing with the Writer. I am finding responsiveness of the keyboard to be excellent.

If you press space+dot7,1, then immediately press space+dot7,4 then quickly press the letter d, an email will be sent. I sometimes have to do that twice, but I think that is because I was not quite fast enough. Navigating with the rotor works as expected. this is much better for me than doing the on-screen braille.

Re: Orbit Writer Review
Richard, when you want to switch devices is it necessary to hit the channel key sequence, or is it automatic? Say you are using the Writer with your phone and iPad.

FW: [orbit-reader] Orbit Writer update
Since this has been discussed here, I'm forwarding this along. Hello List Members, We would like to provide a brief update on issues related to typing on the Orbit Writer. We have made some good progress in our investigation and have been able to identify the cause. We have also identified the fixes for this and will be releasing a new version of the software before the end of this week. The fixes are currently being tested by our internal test team and some of you who have kindly offered to test the beta. We will continue to keep you posted. Thank you very much for your patience and support.

Re: Update to Orbit Writer
Hi Peggy. You will need a Windows computer to do the update. My hope is that they will eventually allow the Orbit Writer to update the way the Orbit Readers do, but that may not be possible since there is no easy way to get a file onto it other than through Windows. They may have to entertain the idea of being able to update via the Mac. I sure hope they do! I do not own a Mac anymore, but I still think people should be able to update regardless of whether they're a Mac or Windows user.

RE: Orbit Writer connections
Tracy, I just tried pairing this PC to the OW, butt to no avail. I am not ready to give up on this machine, but it needs some improvement,.

OK, that is the way I understood it as well. Then I am back to square one. The unit still will not reconnect when paired to more than one device.

RE: Orbit Writer and Pairing Devices
Yes, you have to use VoiceOver Braille settings to do the pairing. It is seen as the Orbit Reader 20 with its serial number right now. That may change in iOS 14, I hope.

Orbit Writer and Pairing Devices
Hi All, There has been some discussion on pairing devices to the Orbit Writer. While I haven't received my unit, it's due any day now, I've been studying the manual and would like to offer a clarification that could easily be confusing. Let's say you wish to pair a device to the Writer on Bluetooth Channel 2. You would activate the channel by pressing Space Left Arrow and Dot 2. Now, here's what I believe can be confusing. The manual indicates that you should press the same key combination "to pair." This actually places the channel into Pairing Mode. You then have to use your device's Bluetooth search function to actually connect the device. I realize the manual does describe that process. At first, I was confused because I'm accustomed to using the term Pairing Mode which the manual does not indicate in those words. Perhaps this is obvious to everyone else, but people who are new to pairing devices could be thrown off by this. I also realize that the biggest adjustment I will have is depending on haptic feedback for all Writer System events. I've never done this, I've always depended on a combination of speech and braille. So there will be a learning curve here. Best Regards, Les -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

RE: Orbit Writer connections
Tracy, sorry for the delay; we were traveling today and just got where we are going. I tried to connect to this lap top and was unable to do so, but perhaps I did It wrong. I will try again. I like the form factor of the writer but I find the input problematic; most of us who have been lifelong users of braille can out type it. I think everyone needs to give Orbit constructive feedback; perhaps some of these problems can be fixed.

Re: Orbit Writer connections
hi guys forgive the stupid question but what is an orbit writer? I know the orbit reader and you can write notes on it so why do we need a writer?

Re: Orbit Writer connections
This is highly unlikely, but your unit could need repaired. This is just a possibility. I hope you get your issues figured out. I could see how frustrating that would be to get a new device and have issues with it.

Re: Orbit Writer connections
There is a very brief getting started tutorial that you can purchase for $30, but it actually isn't really worth it. It just shows you how to turn on the device, a few commands for checking battery, and pairing the device. All other commands that you need to learn, you'd have to download the manual. I read the quick start guide. That also has a lot of commands.
