Hi, I have the Orbit 20 display and love it.  Keep in mind that this is the 
first braille display that I have ever used.  The only thing I would wish it 
had more is, 40 cells.  I have pared it with my Iphone 6s and makes it much 
better to type information into a post on Facebook and to read books and take 
notes.  Andy and Shubert

one big difference between the two is that the Orbit has 8 dot Braille and the 
Braille me only has 6 dots.

  I think there’s going to be an announcement about the braille me forthcoming 
at seesun. (Just tried to make jaws say that right), smile.

  Hi

   

  In the March edition of APH newsletter the Orbit Reader 20 should be 
available for purchase again sometime this summer. Unfortunately APH is the 
only place to purchase the Orbit Reader 20. 

   

  There is another low cost braille display that you can research for 
information; the Braille Me. I think the price for the Braille me is $450. 

   

  Donna

   

    It’s my understanding now that APH isn’t shipping orbits until the summer.

    Hi Carla,

    Where did you order your orbit reader?  I have been checking the American 
Printing House for the last three weeks, and I continuously find a message on 
the website that says: currently out of stock.  Is there any other distributer?

    Regards,

    Cris

    If you find the routing buttons helpful I would go ahead and order the 
Braille Me.  I don't know if they are similar in price.  I just ordered the 
Orbit and it meets my needs very well.  There is a lot I have to learn about it 
but it works very well with the iDevices.

    Subject: Braille displays: braille me or orbit braille reader?

     

    Hello folks,

    I wonder if any of you have acquired and used the orbit braille reader or 
braille me and used them with iOS devices.

    I read the description of both on their respective websites, but very 
interesting to hear the views of people who have actually  have hand on 
experience with these devices.  I know that the orbit reader is already out of 
stock.  I am not sure why so quickly!  I also know that the major differences 
are first the orbit uses the eight braille dots while the braille me uses the 
six dots.  The second major difference is that Braille me has routing buttons 
while the orbit does not.  In other descriptions they sound similar.

    Any input on this topic will be extremely appreciated.  I am not sure if I 
should wait for the orbit to be back in stock, or go ahead and order the 
braille me.

     

    Cheers,

    Cris
