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!

It’s unbelievable that with the touch of a button, it can read text. It’s amazing technology… the kind of thing that will breathe life into people who can’t see.” — Trevor Long, Australian tech expert and critic (Source: nocamels.com) Where can you use OrCam Read? 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.
