OrCam Read
Empowering People Who Are Visually Impaired or Have Reading Difficulties
The first-of-its-kind handheld reader for people with dyslexia or reading difficulties.
ORCAM creates assistive AI devices that change lives.
Using AI (artificial intelligence) and machine learning to develop an accessibility enhancing product, the handheld OrCam Read device can help people with reading difficulties such as dyslexia or reading fatigue. When you point the device at a block of text and hit a button, it'll send out a laser beam highlighting the selected text and start reading a page or section out loud.
OrCam’s mission is to harness the power of artificial vision by incorporating pioneering technology into a portable platform which improves the lives of individuals who are visually impaired and/or have reading difficulties.
OrCam Read Features:
- A wireless device that uses artificial intelligence to improve the lives of those visually impaired
- OrCam Read works on both printed and on-screen text
- Harnesses the power of artificial vision in an intuitive portable device that compensates for lost visual abilities
- Point to a block of text, push a button and then listen to the handheld device read that passage
- A small but powerful computer, with digital sensors and excellent algorithms to give key aspects of sight - providing the user a way of regaining independence
OrCam Read is a personal AI-driven device and can be ideal for anyone who is consistently exposed to large amounts of text – at work and school, or for leisure – and can even assist people who have reading difficulties, including dyslexia and reading fatigue. OrCam Read is the only portable, wireless reading device that reads full pages of text in real time – making studying, reading books and newspapers, computer screens, and much more – effortless, essentially transforming any printed or digital text into an instant audiobook.
The OrCam Read device must be held and experienced personally to really understand and appreciate the benefits of its incredible AI ability.
