I started on an orbit reader 20 and it should work that way for Linux. Unfortunately, I've only tried it on Windows and it does indeed work there for display and typing. It's mostly about the braille support in the "screen reader" usually. Now, the Orbit should be in the remote USB mode *before* you connect to the computer for the first time as a minimum. Otherwise, the USB doesn't quite work right in my experiences.

A question about the Orbit and Linux please. Using your orbit, can you run your computer with it such that the computer understands your orbit is both the keyboard and the screen?

I use either an 40 or 80 cell one line display depending on desk space. Yes they are expensive but for code I find them indispensible. Especially if you are working with code that uses lots of short names. >> >> Tom >> >> >> On Wed, 13 Jan 2021, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: >> >>> >>> >>> Ashley >>> >>> Begin forwarded message: >>> >>>> From: Ashley Breger <abreger@xxxxxxxxxxx> >>>> Date: January 13, 2021 at 12:35:19 AM CST >>>> To: Ashley Breger <ashbreger@xxxxxxxxx> >>>> Subject: Fwd: Does anyone on here read code in braille? >>>> >>>> Ashley >>>> Begin forwarded message: >>>>> From: Ashley Breger <abreger@xxxxxxxxxxx> >>>>> Date: January 13, 2021 at 12:25:11 AM CST >>>>> To: Linux <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> >>>>> Subject: Does anyone on here read code in braille? >>>>> Hi guys I was wondering if anyone on here reads code in braille? If so do you read it line by line or are you able to read multiple lines at once?
