Introduction
This guide provides the basic instructions for using the Orbit Reader Q20 Electronic Braille
Display. For more information and complete instructions, consult the Orbit Reader Q20 User
Guide included on the SD card.
The Orbit Reader Q20 is a unique 3-in-1 device that enables a blind or visually impaired user to
read books and documents in braille, take notes and save them as braille or text files. It helps
the user to easily access all the functions of a computer or smartphone such as web browsing,
email, and text messaging.
Reading materials that were previously available in braille embossed on paper, can now be read
on the compact and portable Orbit Reader Q20. Thousands of books can be stored on the small
memory cards, known as SD cards. Blind people who used to write notes using a slate and
stylus or a Perkins Brailler can now type in braille with the Orbit Reader Q20, which includes a
QWERTY keyboard and is much quieter and faster, as well as being fatigue-free. The notes are
stored on the SD card and can be transferred to a computer or smartphone and read by anyone.
The Orbit Reader Q20 produces braille symbols using 8 pins that can move up and down to
produce braille dots and can show a line of 20 such symbols, also known as cells. Any text or
braille content can be instantly displayed on the device, 20 symbols at a time and once you have
read the first line of 20 symbols, you can move to the next line by pressing a button, known as
the pan button.
