We purchased the OrCam MyEye 2, through Amazon, for our 28 year old son who is Visually Impaired, a cane user, Braille reader with light and dark perception. When he lived in England, he found out about the previous OrCam MyEye and scheduled a demonstration with a representative which, went well. Now, back in the U.S., he just received his OrCam MyEye 2. The device is wonderful, it has touch control and also uses verbal commands. This MyEye 2 holds a primary and a secondary language, (additional languages may be added for an additional fee). It is programmable for face recognition. Right now our son is trying to use another recognition feature to identify our cats. It reads text; newspapers, magazines, books, mail, menus, items on poster boards... you get the picture. Also, it can read currency, products, labels, bar codes, street signs, store signs, etc. The device is cordless connecting to the side of a pair of glasses (provided, or you can use your own), a tiny speaker positioned upon the back of the small device, speaks privately, as it sits just out from the ear, and a tiny camera lense at the front. Currently, our son is learning how to use the various features. It tells him if a person (or persons) is within it’s visual acuity, and identifies said person(s), if their faces are preprogrammed in. He looks forward to trying it in the grocery store, reading and choosing products. Additionally, he has an allergy and would like to read the product ingredients himself and not depend on an assigned grocery store assistant.
This device offers so much more, including another confidence in independence. Our son strives for and struggles with independent living and working in this world. He earned a BA and then, lived in England to attain a dual Master’s degree. He is a writer, a published author, a certified Professional Voice Talent, and a volunteer tutor for immigrant students. With all of his skills, knowledge, and technologies, he lives with a frustrating reality requiring urgent and sometimes unexpected visual assistance at times to complete a simple task. This OrCam MyEye 2 is a huge step as a tool for the Visually Impaired toward furthering their independence.
Though OrCam company now, provides purchasing through Amazon, which we took advantage of, they still provided their excellent service. Brice, from the OrCam Customer Success Team has been wonderful from the beginning. He contacted us immediately following our Amazon purchase and he still checks in on us as the purchasers, and separately to our son as the user. In the past (and hopefully, again, in the future) we understood they would schedule a home visit with a customer for instruction (or perspective customer for a demo, as our son had done before). Now, they have a full array of online video tutorials. So far, Brice and OrCam have gone over and above for us. For more information, I would suggest you visit their website, see OrCam or OrCam MyEye2. They have other advantageous products, as well.

This is a very good Artificial intelligence product
I have been in orcam user since the very first model that came out, this new detachable magnetic version is so much easier to handle than the older version. It attaches to any glasses of your choice with a strap magnetic system. For those who had issues with the directions supposedly been in another language, you can download it off their website in any language. This item does facial recognition so you can put photos of the your loved ones in it,or take actual live photos of them and save them in OrCam,the next time you’re in the room with them orcam will tell you who’s in the room, other than a girl or a guy it will actually say the name of the person. The great thing about this is when I Vidit my grand child it tells the name to me. It also reads papers, prescriptions, anything of written text. This device does so much more for the blind then people can understand. It takes a little practice just like any type of computer technology however it’s worth the practice. If you’re a veteran the VA covers this for many, some insurance companies also will cover this product. It is so nice to be able to go to the grocery store and pick up an item and look at it and Orcam tells you what it is. I have tried other products, apps, other glasses including Ari, Difference with this is you’re not relying on someone on the other side of the technology, you’re able to keep your privacy and do it yourself. Secondly there isn’t any subscription fee and if you get the extended warranty you get the free downloads of new data upgrades. I have dealt with their service and support I actually had to return one of the first original ones and they replaced it no issue. They also gave me a good trade-in with my old version of the OrCam for the new one. This is a very good product.
