Has anyone used either the old or the new version of OrCam? If so,
how well does it work? Is it self contained? Can information be uploaded to a computer or is it only available as you are reading it, or scanning products or faces? I am providing the link for others who may be interested. https://www.orcam.com/en/myeye2/ There was also another product, called Mobil-Eyes, if I remember correctly. I can't find information on it now, but I know that it came in both a basic and a deluxe package and involved ocr and other features in a portable device Has anyone ever used that? Thanks, Eleni -- Facebook: elvam2167@gmail.com anyaudio.net: elvam2167 Skype: elvam2167

I just read an interesting article on the OrCam. It sounds great, but

even if I could afford it, I probably couldn't use it, as I would need to be able to see at least the first line of text so that I could point to it and make the device start reading. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-3891160/The-TALKING-GLASSES-read-books-recognise-faces-Potentially-revolution-partially-sighted-people-good-true.html

Yes, from my understanding you need to point at signs, people, traffic

signals etc, for it to provide any information. This might prove hit or miss for a totally blind person. I think this is only useful if one has some residual vision left which would make it possible to point at something or someone in the environment.

I got to play with the Orcam this past summer. For a totally blind person, pointed at signs and addresses would be if not a challenge, impossible. Reading text with it is amazing. On the 20th, Woodlake technologies will be demonstrating the latest upgrade to the Orcam. I will report to the group if there has been someway to read signs and addresses.
