The Orbit Reader 20 is a three-in-one device: a 20-cell eight-dot refreshable braille display, an SD-card book reader and a stand-alone note-taker with a braille keyboard. What makes it unusual is the cell technology, which avoids the piezo elements that keep most braille displays in the thousands, and is the reason this one lands where it does. It also works as a display for a phone, tablet or computer over Bluetooth or USB. For blind and deafblind users priced out of the category, this is the entry point that did not previously exist.
