Orbit Reader 20 – User guide Version 1.8
Orbit Research Confidential and Proprietary Information 10
For orientation purposes, there are three slightly raised tick marks located above
the braille cells. These orientation marks are spaced by every fifth braille cell. For
example, the first tick mark from the left is between the fifth and sixth braille cell.
Moving towards the top and away from you, find a row of three keys, with a wider
key- in the middle. The wide key is the Space bar. The Dot 7 input key is to the
left of the Space Bar, and the Dot 8 input key is to the right of the Space Bar.
Above the three keys, is a navigation pad in the middle, between the Braille Input
keys and Space bar. The navigation pad contains four directional arrow buttons
(Up, Down, Left, Right) and the Select button.
The six traditional braille input keys are aligned horizontally along the top edge of
the face of the display, Dots 3 2 1 on the left and Dots 4 5 6 on the right.
In Stand-Alone mode, the Braille Input keys are used for navigation and
editing/writing.
In Remote mode, while using the display with a screen reader on a host device,
like an iPhone, the Braille Input keys can be used to input text or control
functionality of applications.
9.2 Panning Keys
The Panning keys are two-function rocker keys found at either end of the braille
display. These keys control how you read the lines of the text: either next or
previous. Pressing one end of the key results in one action, while pressing the
opposite end results in the opposite action.
