<p class="MsoNormal">I just bought the Orbit Reader from APH.
It is a braille notetaker and reader that costs $449. I’ve
only had it a few days, but I’m happy with it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s about the size of a fat paperback
book. It has 20 braille cells. The braille quality is
excellent. It has no speech, and no cursor routing keys. It
makes a noise when the braille refreshes, like shuffling a
deck of cards or pushing over a line of dominoes. I can’t use
it to read sneakily when there are people around and I’m
supposed to be doing something else, but neither my husband
nor I find the noise annoying. I was concerned because I had
heard the refresh rate is slow, and I am a fast reader, but
it’s fast enough not to slow me down.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It also connects via Bluetooth or USB to
other devices. I connected it to my iPhone very easily, and
it works well. The commands when connected are different from
those in stand-alone, and I’m still learning them, but so far,
so good. Don’t know why they did that—just to confuse me, I
guess.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When editing, it writes exactly what I put
in. There’s no translation or formatting. This is exactly
what I want, as I tend to write in shorthand and also
frequently switch between Grade 2 and computer code. I also
use braille music. I don’t want any translation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If I could add something, I’d add an
auto-scroll.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And it would be nice if the notetaker
makers would get together and agree on a set of standard
commands, so I wouldn’t have to learn a whole new set for each
one.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve bought notetakers with all the bells
and whistles, but I found I didn’t really use most of them. I
keep my own version of a calendar and an address book, and, if
I want to surf the Web or mess with email, it’s easy to
connect to another device to do that. Really, I could have
saved myself 2000 bucks, if this had been out last time I was
notetaker shopping. It’s basic, but basic is all I need. And
the price is right.<o:p></o:p></p>
