CNIB Foundation has a strong commitment to braille and access to low-cost braille technology as a key to literacy and education. As a part of this commitment, we were excited to announce the launch of the Orbit Braille Reader 20 in Canada. This device was to be the first affordable, portable and refreshable braille reader on the market.
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen production and delivery issues, the launch of the Orbit Braille Reader 20 is further delayed at this time. We remain dedicated to providing low-cost braille and are continuing to work through these issues.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this delay has caused. CNIB Foundation will continue to provide updates on the availability of the Orbit Reader 20.
Thank you for your continued patience.
