Hi BJ,
The Orbit Writer will be available soon from the RNIB I'm told. The is no
braille display on the Orbit Writer. It is simply a braille keyboard.

One further question... is the Orbit Writer available in the UK? if
not, does anybody know of an equivalent product?
Thanks, BJ

Hi all, thanks so much for your input. Can someone tell me the
difference between the Orbit 20 and the 20+?
Cheers, BJ

Yep, it is still the VarioUltra, and we have the 20 and 40. Those are
some
of the rolls Royce of Braille displays in my view, but they are
expensive.
All the best

Hi BJ
The new HumanWare Brailliant BI X displays come in either 20 or 40.
There
is also the Brailliant BI14, Focus Blue 14 and 40, Esys range and
VarioUltra
or whatever they are called these days. So quite a few to choose from
depending on your budget and number of features.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi,
I've read mixed reviews of the Orbit readers... people say that the dots
often fail and it needs cleaning virtually everyday. I've also heard
about
the Safari and the Focus Blue...
I'm looking to hook it up to my Iphone SE2 via Bluetooth. Cell-wise,
probably 20 or so, dependent on price.
Cheers,
BJ

Hi BJ,
What device do you want to connect to and how many cells are you looking
at?
Could you mention the affordable displays you have in mind?

Hi all,
I know there are at least 2 “affordable” Braille displays on the
market. Could somebody tell me which one they prefer and why? I am
looking to purchase one to connect to my I-phone, purely to write
notes.
Thanks,
BJ
