The QBraille input also connects through the standard Bluetooth because it
works as a standard QWERTY keyboard. The braille output connects through
the braille display section in VoiceOver settings.
Is this similar to the Mantis arrangement?
Kind regards,

Hi my name is Joe and I work at APH in quality assurance. To answer your
question no the Orbit writer won’t connect the same way. The reason the
Mantis does and also our Chameleon does is the new hid standard. Thats the
standard Microsoft apple and others worked on. Its still new and I believe
currently were the only one supporting this. I believe the Orbit does on
the Mac but not on the iPhone currently. If I can help in any other way
please let me know.

Hi Traci,
Thanks for the link to the YouTube video. It was interesting that the
iPhone was paired with going to Bluetooth settings and not going into
VoiceOver and Braille settings. I know it’s not documented in the manual,
but I do wonder if that would allow the Orbit Writer as a keyboard to
connect? The Mantis is a keyboard, but of course, it’s a Qwerty, so I don’t
know if that makes a difference. I’m awaiting my unit, so when the Writer
comes, I’ll certainly try to connect a second device and report back.
Best Regards,
Les

Hi Donna,
I have not use this display, but if you are interested, there is a mailing
list dedicated to both it and the Chamaeleon, the 20cell variant that has a
braille keyboard rather than a quirky one. You can also see the manual on
the APH mantis dedicated page. If you’re interested in the email list, info
on that is also on the APH page. There is active tech support there. like
you, I have heard very bad things about the orbit reader Forty, and I don’t
think it’s even out yet. But one of the folks who has been a distributor
for them said this thing is not ready for prime time at a recent blindness
convention.

Has anyone tried this display with either Mac or IOS? Seems new. It's sold
by APH, but seems to have some affiliation with Humanware as well.
TIA,
