Orbit Reader 20 Braille Display Review

In this video I talk about the Orbit Reader 20 and how to pair it to an iOS or ipad OS device. I also explain how to pair it to a Mac. I provide my thoughts on the device after one week's use.

I actually kind of like the noise it makes in your video when the Braille display refreshes! It’s a very nice, gentle sound and I think a selling point of I can ever afford a Braille display

I'm not blind, but I would totally love to have access to a braille terminal for experimentation in a Linux environment. Awesome fun!

Thank you for sharing your review, I'm trying to help my mom decide which model she wants to get between 20 or 40 cell, but the Orbit ones really do seem incredible for being significantly cheaper than every other brand out there. I subscribed and look forward to checking out more of your videos!

Never knew these existed. So cool! Very nice review

[@danieladrian103]

Thanks for sharing. Hopefully getting one soon for reading braille music

[@paragraut3504]

That’s so cool, didn’t knew that it existed

Hey, quick question. Would you say this has the best compatibility with the Mac? Like can I use the scroll buttons on the side to scroll through items on my Finder and Doc? Can I perform something similar to the JAWS input commands on a Focus 40 blue display, but instead do things like access the menu bar/menu extras, perform a VO right and VO left arrow to move through the screen, access notification center, control center, and system settings? Like can I do all of that without needing to ever touch the keyboard?

Nice reviews. The last time I had access to Braille on a routine basis was high school. I graduated in 2007. Your welcome I just aged myself. Anyway, the note taker Braille displays that I used was one of those super expensive kind. Do you think this device is comparable to the well known brands?

Do you find that it is loud? I hear it on your video...

[@joannestark3023]

I don't have one of these myself. The noise of the pins refreshing could take some getting used to but I don't find it too loud or annoying.

[@denizsincar29]

[@KristyViers]

Yes. Unfortunately it continuously makes that sound as the Braille dots on the screen move.
