Completely FREE for users of the Orbit Reader 20
Works with Android smartphones or tablets - no additional hardware needed
Offers the ultimate in portability, reliability and ease of use
The deafblind user does not have to hand their personal phone to a stranger. They can carry an inexpensive tablet or spare phone with them, which is already set up with the app and is already connected with the user’s Orbit Reader 20 device
A blind user can use the self-voicing option of the app without the need for a screen reader. The app does NOT depend on Brailleback or Talkback
The on-screen keyboard obviates the need for an external keyboard, but external keyboards can also be used if desired
A history feature allows the users to scroll back and review previous messages on the Orbit Reader 20 and on the smartphone or tablet
Conversations are also saved automatically into a file with a date and time stamp
A broadcast feature allows the deafblind user to send messages to multiple people who have the app installed
A file transfer feature allows the exchange of files between the Orbit Reader 20 and the phone or tablet
