Orbit Magna 5 – Handheld Electronic Magnifier

The Orbit Reader Q20 is a groundbreaking addition to Orbit Research’s line of braille products. It is an all-in-one braille device that couples a multi-function refreshable braille display with a QWERTY keyboard for input. The device is designed to enhance accessibility, convenience, and independence for individuals who are blind.

The Orbit Reader Q20 offers Orbit’s unparalleled signage-quality TrueBraille™ technology with 20 eight-dot refreshable braille cells. It is designed for seamless standalone or connected use with computers and mobile devices. The device enables users to read books, take notes, and manage daily tasks with built-in applications for productivity such as a clock, calendar, calculator and braille translator.

The full-sized, high-quality, laptop-style QWERTY keyboard can be independently connected via Bluetooth or USB to a computer or mobile device and allows users the convenience of touch-typing while using braille for reading.

The Orbit Media Player is a versatile, user-friendly device designed to enhance accessibility for blind and visually impaired individuals. It features a compact, lightweight design with tactile buttons for easy navigation. The device supports a broad array of file formats, including DAISY 2.02, DAISY 3.0, EPUB, DOCX, PDF, HTML, BRL, BRF, and TXT, making it suitable for both audio and electronic books.

The device offers intuitive navigation with options for page jump, chapter navigation, and word or sentence-level skipping, along with variable playback speeds to customize the listening experience.

The Orbit Slate is the first and only product in the world to provide multiple lines of true real-time refreshable braille in a single, compact, tablet-sized device. It enables people who are blind or visually impaired to seamlessly and intuitively experience spatially arranged text and information such as tables in real time. The Slate offers Orbit’s unique signage-quality TrueBraille™ cells in two configurations – a model with three rows of forty cells and one with five rows of twenty cells.

The interactive refreshable multi-line braille display provides students and professionals a vital tool for the exploration of spatial math problems involving fractions and mixed numbers, number line graphs, and matrices and makes solving multi-step equations at all levels of mathematics much easier. It enables braille readers to efficiently engage in tasks that were previously very laborious using single line displays, e.g. reading and writing braille music, manipulating spreadsheets and parsing tabular data in a way that has heretofore been impossible using refreshable braille technology.

The Orbit Slate offers all the features of the revolutionary Orbit Reader 20, including a book reader, editor and the ability to connect to a smartphone or computer via Bluetooth or USB and access all the features of these platforms using popular screen reader programs. It also includes features for productivity and convenience such as onboard translation to and from braille in over 40 languages, a clock with alarms, a calendar, and a calculator.
