OrCam Read - Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assistive Reader - Including Smart Reading Feature - for Anyone Who is Exposed to Large Amounts of Text at School, Work, or on The Go

Product Information

Der OrCam Read ist eine wunderbare Hilfe für meinen Vater, der mit 88 Jahren wegen einer Makula-degeneration plötzlich erblindet ist. Mit dem OrCam kann er zB seine Post wieder lesen, seine Zeitschriften und Bücher, und ist dadurch unabhängiger geblieben. Er möchte das Gerät nicht mehr missen und benutzt es täglich. Dadurch dass man den OrCam mit sich herum tragen kann, hat man die Lesehilfe immer griffbereit. Das Gerät ist einfach zu bedienen und funktioniert absolut zuverlässig und einwandfrei seit über einem Jahr Dauereinsatz! The final type of wearable technology is purely a talking device and therefore aimed at people with very little or no useful vision. Orcam 2

These wearable devices are mainly for magnifying text and objects and enhancing remaining useful vision. They can all enhance both distance and near vision. These technologies change all the time and some may introduce speech options in future.

Currently the device doesn’t let you know which mode it is in. However, I believe this is due to be a feature in a future update. The reason behind this is due to this specific device supporting a range of disabilities. You recieve an alert if there is not enough light to process text, meaning it could be difficult in low-light situations. Again, the product does have an LED light so this should be enabled in later updated.

Now we currently had a problem with the metal clip to which the carrying strap is attached, it ripped out when my father got caught somewhere with the strap. So I asked about a repair option.
