Does BrailleMe function as a stand-alone notetaker?  Orbit reader does.

That is my understanding too. That is why I asked my question, hoping to find people on this list who have hand on experience with these displays to help me decide if it is worth waiting for the Orbit Reader, or going with the Braille me. Reading the descriptions is very different from actually seeing the real products.

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.

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
