A Sneak Peek at the Orbit Player

In this Tech Doctor episode, Robert begins by speaking with the CEO of Orbit Research, Venkatesh Chari, about the Orbit Player. This product is in the late stages of development and is expected to be available sometime during the summer of 2025. The Orbit Player is a very small but full featured book and media player with a telephone style keypad and a good sounding speaker. Venkatesh explained that Orbit Research was able to create this high quality but very affordable player by doing the development and manufacturing in India. Venkatesh describes how the Orbit Player has gone from a product designed to provide accessible and affordable technology for blind people in India to a product that will soon be available in the United States and eventually worldwide. The remainder of the podcast is spent with Robert providing a comprehensive demonstration of a pre-released version of the Orbit Player. There is more information about the Orbit Player on the Orbit Research website.
