We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the Orbit Player—India’s first DAISY and media player that is designed, manufactured, and supported entirely within India. Debuting today at the ICEVI World Conference in Ahmedabad, the Orbit Player is a breakthrough for India’s visually impaired community, providing an affordable, locally supported device specifically created to empower independence and learning.
For years, visually impaired individuals in India have faced high costs and limited support for imported reading and learning devices. The Orbit Player changes that, offering a practical, feature-packed device at an affordable price, backed by dependable local service. With multilingual text-to-speech options, voice guidance, intuitive navigation, and support for popular digital book formats like DAISY, EPUB, DOCX, and PDF, this device makes both reading and learning accessible, seamless, and enjoyable.
The Orbit Player supports several Indian languages—including Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu—bringing a new level of inclusivity to accessible technology. Users can connect to online libraries like Sugamya Pustakalaya and Bookshare, listen to internet radio and podcasts, play their own music files, and record notes or lectures—all in one compact, durable device.
Join us at the ICEVI World Conference in Ahmedabad today! Visit our booth to experience the Orbit Player firsthand and explore our full lineup of accessible technology products designed for the visually impaired. Bookings are now open, with shipping starting in February 2025.
