[Ohio-talk] editing on orbit

[Cheryl Fischer]

I called AFB. The Orbit will give us the ability to perform find commands.
Whether it can navigate by chapters or headings may depend more upon the
text formatting than on the Orbit, but searching for "Chapter 3," for
example, would accomplish the same purpose. They said it is still expected
to be available this Spring.

Looks like I need to weigh in here.  Unfortunately, I review so many braille
aware and other products that I pretty much forget them when the job is
done, so I can't be absolutely sure.
That said, I can be absolutely sure that if I had written something so
blatantly inaccurate, it would have been corrected by the manufactuer.  
I received the producte in July or August, shortly after convention, I
believe, and had it for an intense month or so of testing.  so it would have
been through many upgrades since a version of more than a year ago.  
In other words, I can't say that the editing capabilities stated in my
article are true simply because I can't remember, but I can say that I stand
by my work and if I wrote something so inaccurate, maybe 31 years of writing
about blindness technology is one too many!

Anyone interested in the state of the moment product should call the
American printing House at 800-223-1839.  
Peace,
Deborah

Maybe I am ot of date, but when I used the Orbit a year ago, you could jump
around and I think search. But those editing functions were not there. I had
to evaluate the Orbit at that time, and I remember urging them to build in
those functins. I hope that they did.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
