Announcing a new subsidy program in the United States in partnership with VoSAP.
Orbit Research, the pioneer in affordable, high quality braille devices, is pleased to expand its partnership with Voice of Specially Abled People (VoSAP) to make reading and braille technology even more accessible to blind and deafblind individuals.
The Orbit Reader 20 has already transformed the braille technology landscape. Widely recognized as the most affordable refreshable braille display in the world, it has made braille access possible for thousands of people who previously could not obtain a device. Now, through this new subsidy program, the Orbit Reader 20 becomes even more affordable.
Through the 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 Player is a simple and powerful device for reading DAISY books, listening to music, and accessing 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.
