Announcing a New Subsidy Program for Braille and Reading Devices in the U.S>

Orbit Research is pleased to announce a new subsidy program in partnership with Voice of Specially Abled People (VoSAP) to make braille and reading technology even more accessible to blind and deafblind individuals in the United States.

The Orbit Reader 20 has already transformed the braille technology landscape. By dramatically lowering the cost of refreshable braille, it has enabled thousands of people around the world to access braille for reading, education, and employment.

Through this new subsidy program, eligible individuals in the United States can receive:

  • Orbit Reader 20 – now available for $499
  • Orbit Reader 20 Plus – now available for $599
  • Orbit Player – now available for $199

The Orbit Reader 20 is a refreshable braille display with a built-in book reader and note taker designed to support literacy, education, and productivity.

The Orbit Reader 20 Plus adds braille translation and productivity apps.

The Orbit Player provides a simple and convenient way to read DAISY books, listen to music, and access audio learning content on the go.

This initiative builds on the strong success of the Orbit and VoSAP subsidy program in India, which has already helped many blind and deafblind individuals obtain affordable braille technology. We are delighted to now expand this opportunity to individuals in the United States.

If you or someone you know could benefit from this program, we encourage you to apply.
