Bluetooth for headphones?
I should’ve sent this in the last comment. I’m really looking forward to the future OTA updates to see what name improvements we can add such as maybe more AI enhancements
Orcam just launched my eye pro have you seen it yet? I wonder when you’re going to make a video on what’s new with the new version of this device
Can the voice be changed to male or female and slow the reading for one that is hard of hearing as well
I bought the prior version only 2 months from introduction of C3. I feel very cheated that the company knew if its product launch date and did not mention V3 would be available shortly. To me, all the company cared about was making a sale. These added features I’d love to had available and would have waited on buying.
Just mentioning this burns me to end! Again, feel extremely cheated and deceived.
I wonder if this would work for reading the messages on your computer screen before your operating system loads up. Things like, "Press any key to boot from CD ROM". I'd like to purchase this one day, as my sighted friend, Markus (Yes, that's "Markus" with a "K", not a "C"), is not always available as he's a very busy guy! Hopefully this device is not too spendy for me! Where can I find it?
I am wondering if this device is usable by people who are totally blind or who only have light perception?
I’m looking for the shine state university could you send me application information
Je cherche cette vidéo en Français
You usualy tell us the prices. I don't see prices for anything on their web site. Any idea how much it and the add on cost? What is the battery life? I'm sorry to ask all this but I really couldn't find much on their site. Probably because I don't see well (LOL)
Is it magnetic? I mean, can it be put on glasses and how many languages are spoken?
This looks very useful. Have you ever used the MyEye OrCam Pro I would love your feedback?
I like the docking station design independent of it's use with the OrCam3. I'd be interesting in that stand with a cell phone mounting head for my DIY setup that uses my Android phone with WeZoom and my phone connected to a port on one of my desktop monitors via HDMI (with USB-C) adapter (per a collection of your previous videos). I'm currently using a conventional tripod which is rather clunky. Any insight on how to get a stand like that … just the stand with standard stand mounting hardware?
Yet another advancement in technology which will, in the end, separate the have’s from they have not’s. My heart sank when I saw the price tag.
It slices, it dices it washes your undies and will let you know when you need a haircut. I have no doubt this is useful but there are apps who basically do the same thing.
much for this demonstration video~ I ordered one a couple of days agoa dn cant wait to get it and start being more independent! Thank you for all you do.
Thanks so ,
I would love to try one of those or am 3 gadgets, that sounds very usesful for many things.
Hi Sam, I just got mine in yesterday. I can’t wait to explore it thanks to this video. I made the plans and bought me one.
This is so cool! I just got an orcam pro. Will these features be available to all orcam devices when we update?
Is stargardt disease dangers ,make u blind please reply
Sounds useful
Definitely impressive. I can’t wait to see how the future updates go.
Hi Sam, a very good and informative video. Have a the big thing you keep missing as the cost of the product. Thanks Scott
Wish I had money to purchase this
As usual, another very helpful product review. Thanks Sam.
Sam How can a totally blind person use a glass top digital stove oven that requires pushing bake then have to push the numbers yo select the #_s on oven face then have yo push start yhen agaon numbets for time by the way what is ut current vision at?
Hey, I have got some questions regarding this device. These questions have been asked by me because I am totally blind and I cannot see what you are doing in the video. The first question is: do you need to place the tip of the orcam device on the document for reading it, or can you scan it even without placing the tip of the device on the document? How can we change the text-to-speech voice of this device, like Envision glasses? Does this device also receive software updates? If yes, how can we do it?
Can it also work with AirPods
Good day, how much can we get it
Hi Sam, do you know if these updated features are available with the OrCam MyEye?
This is a great new update to the Orcam. I am curious if it has facial recognition that I remember from previous versions?
Hi sir i am from INDIA how can i buy this devise in my country because i am studying Sr inter (or) +2 it is difficult to read subjects with magnifier & my collage dont allow mobile phone
Great review Sam, you rock!!
for sure my next tech purchase..
Thank you so much, Sam, your videos are invaluable.❤
Once again, Sam, great video! I wanted to ask you if you can use Bluetooth headphones on this device?
Hai Sam, you forgot to mention the PRICE! In what way is the Orcam Read 3 better than an iPhone with lidar scanner and iOS 17?
