Specially designed<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>to be ergonomic and compact, the product enables blind and visually impaired users to conveniently enter text in braille on their smartphone or computer<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>and control it completely without having to use touch gestures.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The Orbit Writer weighs less than a hundred grams and is smaller than modern smartphones, allowing it to fit easily in a pocket or purse. Despite its<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>compact size, it provides an ergonomic Perkins-style braille keyboard. and also includes a cursor keypad for navigation and complete control of the smartphone<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>or computer without using gestures.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The device connects to computers and smartphones over Bluetooth or USB, providing an instant, seamless connection. It can connect to 5 devices simultaneously<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>over Bluetooth and to one more over USB and allows switching between devices with a simple key combination. High-quality scissors keys provide smooth<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>and quiet operation with positive tactile feedback. Haptic (vibration) feedback is also provided for status indications.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The Orbit Writer works out of the box with iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, Amazon Fire tablets, Chromebooks, and Windows, Mac and Linux computers. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It can be used to read and send text messages and emails, browse the internet and social media channels, control all functions of the smartphone, tablet<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>or computer and operate all apps.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>“The Orbit Writer is the newest member of Orbit’s family of braille products. Most of us use smartphones and tablets and all of them come equipped with<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>a touchscreen, which is inherently challenging for blind people to use, despite the availability of gestures. The Orbit Writer enables complete control<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>and operation of smartphones, tablets and computers without the need to use the touchscreen through gestures and brings a new level of convenience to blind<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>and visually impaired users.” said Dr. Gina Spagnoli, Orbit Research’s founder. “We are proud to continue our tradition of bringing high-performance<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>and innovative products at affordable prices. With support for all languages that are available on the smartphone, tablet, or computer, the Orbit Writer<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>provides an extremely affordable and compact solution that will appeal to users around the world.”, she added.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The Orbit Writer is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which provides over 3 days of operation and charges in under 2 hours using commonly<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>available USB chargers.
