The Editor
In addition to serving as a tool for reading braille, Orbit Reader 20 offers the
ability to write and edit text. This feature allows you to create/edit new or existing
files on the SD card.
While you are in the Editor mode, the cursor notes the current position by
blinking Dots 7 8. The default setting for the cursor is 1 second. The blinking of
the cursor can be turned off from the Menu.
The file content depends on two things:
1. Encoding selected from menu
If you are creating a BRF file, use ANSI as the encoding option form menu
before creating a new file. The file content may be otherwise. If you are
creating a text file you may choose any encoding format as per your
requirements. The encoding selection from menu has no impact on the
editing of already existing file.
2. Translation tables used
If your unit is localized, the translation table used for forward and
backward translation would be from the LAN file. If you are using default
English, the translation table used for forward and backward translation
would be the Computer Braille Chart as described in Appendix A.
