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 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 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
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 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?
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
All I know is it connects through Wi-fi. You sign into the OrCam website, then it prompts you to connect your device to WiFi via a QR code , Then you can start using the video magnifier.
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)
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?
To get a good scan of the document, you want to hold the device back about 12 to 18 inches away . I always tell people to touch the document with the tip of the device, then pull it back about a foot and take the picture. You can choose different voices in these settings . There's a certain button combination to access these settings . , it gets updates. Whenever the device is charging , while connected to WiFi, it will check for updates. There's an update available, it will automatically download the update.
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?
Use bump dots to mark the buttons on the stove. I've got several videos showing this. Check out my accessible house series. Time I went to the eye doctor, my acuity was 20/400 in my left eye , and 20/800 in my right.
My mother lost her eyesight, and it breaks my heart. Watching her try to navigate her world while no longer able to see is horrible. Unfortunately, we are not wealthy people and this device is so expensive. Every year around Christmas I research these devices, but it is just not something I can afford. I pray every year that insurance may someday cover these, because as usual, only those with money are privy to a better life.
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.
Definitely impressive. I can’t wait to see how the future updates go.

Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you so much, Sam, your videos are invaluable.❤
Glad you like them!
As usual, another very helpful product review. Thanks Sam.
My pleasure!
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.
Hope you enjoy it!
I just found out you Live in Lexington and I want to Say Hi!!! Thank you I have dyslexia and I was looking into this device.

Hey Sam! Great introduction! I would've liked to have seen a demonstration of the text summary feature.
Yeah, the main focus of this video was an overall introduction and the new video magnifier
@@theblindlife it's a pretty awesome device!
I am wondering about the battery can you change it or is it installed in the orcam reed 3 so you can not change it
for sure my next tech purchase..

This looks very useful. Have you ever used the MyEye OrCam Pro I would love your feedback?
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

Great review Sam, you rock!!
Glad you liked it!
Once again, Sam, great video! I wanted to ask you if you can use Bluetooth headphones on this device?
This was my question also.😊
You can on the Ircam Read 2 so I would assume so.
Yes , all of the OrCam versions have Bluetooth and can connect to Bluetooth audio devices.
This is so cool! I just got an orcam pro. Will these features be available to all orcam devices when we update?
I'm not sure, they haven't told me anything about that.

Je cherche cette vidéo en Français
I would love to try one of those or am 3 gadgets, that sounds very usesful for many things.
Can the voice be changed to male or female and slow the reading for one that is hard of hearing as well
Are there similar devices that are more affordable for those on a tight budget?
I am wondering if this device is usable by people who are totally blind or who only have light perception?
Hi Sam, a very good and informative video. Have a the big thing you keep missing as the cost of the product. Thanks Scott
I had certain things to report on, price was not one of them.
Not true at all I know several totally blind people who own an orcam and find it extremely useful.
@@theblindlife I would have thought the prices are very important thing to highlight
Hi Sam, do you know if these updated features are available with the OrCam MyEye?
I'm not aware of what new features will be coming to the My Eye.
Sounds useful

This is a great new update to the Orcam. I am curious if it has facial recognition that I remember from previous versions?
Wasn’t it only Orcam MyEye2 that had facial recognition?
The READ doesn't have it yet, maybe in the future.
@@Penmacie Yes, correct
Is it magnetic? I mean, can it be put on glasses and how many languages are spoken?
No, the read is not magnetic. Only the my eye is magnetic. I think it reads like 16 different languages.
Good day, how much can we get it
Is the video on Magnifier via website done with a web server on board the read, or does it require a ongoing connection to the cloud.
All I know is it connects through Wi-fi. You sign into the OrCam website, then it prompts you to connect your device to WiFi via a QR code , Then you can start using the video magnifier.

I’m looking for the shine state university could you send me application information
Can it also work with AirPods
It can connect to Bluetooth audio devices.
@@theblindlife what about the price
Wish I had money to purchase this
I feel you.
Bluetooth for headphones?

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?
It would have to be better than about 8 or 9 iPhones, since that's how much it costs...
Does that mean this divice is $10,000???

I was thinking exactly the same thing. I haven’t worked out the best app to run yet. ChatGPT v4 seems to have most of it tho.

It is very nice. How much does it cost? (the website requires contact info.)
It is currently $2490 and it will go to the $2790 after end of launch offer.

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.
Have you got any recommended apps?
