Orbit Reader 20 Plus
™
Quick-start Guide
Introduction
This guide provides the basic instructions for using the Orbit Reader 20 Plus Electronic Braille
Display. For more information and the complete instructions, consult the Orbit Reader 20 Plus
User Guide included on the SD card.
The Orbit Reader 20 Plus is a unique 3-in-1 device that enables a blind or visually impaired
user to read books and documents in braille, take notes and save them as braille or text files. It
helps the user to easily access all the functions of a computer or smartphone such as web
browsing, email, and text messaging.
Reading materials that were previously available in braille embossed on paper, can now be
read on the compact and portable Orbit Reader 20 Plus. Thousands of books can be stored on
the small memory cards, known as SD cards. Blind people who used to write notes using a
slate and stylus or a Perkins Brailler can now type in braille with the Orbit Reader 20 Plus,
which includes a similar 6-key braille keyboard and is much quieter and faster, as well as being
fatigue-free. The notes are stored on the SD card and can be transferred to a computer or
smartphone and read by anyone.
The Orbit Reader 20 Plus produces braille symbols using 8 pins that can move up and down to
produce braille dots and can show a line of 20 such symbols, also known as cells. Any text or
braille content can be instantly displayed on the device, 20 symbols at a time and once you
have read the first line of 20 symbols, you can move to the next line by pressing a button,
known as the pan button. There are two such buttons, one on each side of the line of the
braille cells.
