[BRLTTY] Orbit Slate - Multi line braille displays

[kperry at blinksoft.com]

Out of the box you could use them as a Orbit reader 40 that has more cells so it would work even before BRLTTY makes special drivers to take advantage of the new multi line.  So it would be like using a Orbit reader 40 with 120 cells or 100 cells for the 5 20.  The real exciting bit is  what screen readers  can do with the multi-line functionality in the future.

Hello,

 

It seems that Orbit has created two multiline braille displays, (which to my understanding will show braill in REALTIME). It is Orbit Slate 340 <https://www.orbitresearch.com/product/orbit-slate-340-multi-line-refreshable-braille-display/>  with 3 lines of 40 cells and Orbit Slate 520 <https://www.orbitresearch.com/product/orbit-slate-520-multi-line-refreshable-braille-display/>  with 5 lines of 20 cells.

 

Will these be (or are these already) supported by BRLTTY as multiline displays (like the Canute)?

 

Best regards,

Tage
