Stand Alone Device Operational Mode
The Orbit Reader 20 has two functional modes. One mode is called Stand
Alone mode. The other mode is for use while connected with another device
and is called Remote mode.
Stand Alone mode is the default operational mode and allows the user to
read, edit, and browse files without being connected to another device. An
SD card must be inserted in the Orbit Reader while operating in Stand Alone
mode.
In Stand Alone mode, users read content stored on an SD card in one of two
ways:
sent by library
•
prepared on computer and copied to the device
•
In Stand Alone mode, the Orbit Reader displays the content of files stored on
an SD card. It does not do any translation or interpretation. You prepare the
files ahead of time on your computer, then store them on the SD card. For
example, if you want to read in UEB, prepare the UEB transcribed title on
your computer and then store it on the card.
Remote mode allows you to connect the Orbit Reader to iPhone®, iPad®,
and Android™ mobile devices, as well as desktop computers. In Remote
mode, Orbit Reader acts as an input and output device for the remotely
connected host via USB or Bluetooth. Users connect the device to a
computer or portable device with a screen reader and then do one of the
following:
use apps like Kindle, Adobe Digital Editions, or iBooks to read
•
commercially available titles
employ any accessible technology for browsing, utilities, and education
•
The screen reader translates the text into the braille code of choice.
To move back and forth between Stand Alone and Remote modes, use the
following commands:
