OrCam MyEye Pro - The Most Advanced Wearable Assistive Device for the Blind and Visually Impaired. Featuring Smart Reading, Face Recognition, Color & Product Identification

眼の見えなくなった父に購入しました。 結論としては想像していた以上に読み上げ精度は高く、また複雑な操作は要求されないので中途失明でも使いやすそうです。 基本的な機能は出してそのまますぐ使えます。バーコード識別や顔認識（登録）はちょっと設定が必要です。 また自動アップデート（Wifi設定）はPCでネット接続して設定する必要があります。 商品自体は軽く、眼鏡につけて違和感もないです。 使い方は簡単で高齢(70代)で中途失明の父でも使えていました。 読み上げ精度は予想以上で、音声も自然です。本など均質な背景の活字を読むには十分です。 一方で手書きの文字はさすがに苦手です。またチラシのように背景が凝っている場合や空間的に文字が散っている場合も工夫が推測が必要になります。 日本語と英語の混在も問題なく読み上げますが、英語はネイティブ発音なので和製英語に慣れていると混乱するかもしれません。 バーコード認識も読み上げてくれたときは感動です。一方で登録数は少なくないと思いますが、とくにプライベートブランドは登録がなく、今後も増えてくことを期待しています。 腕時計をみる動作で時刻を知らせるのは意外と便利そうです。そのほか前に人がいると男性がいますなど教え、お札も目の前にかざすだけで教えてくれます。 喜んで使っていたら充電があっという間になくなってましたが、サイズ・重量とトレードオフですから仕方ないところです。外出先での使用には注意が必要かもしれません。なお満充電は40分程度です。 もちろん足りないところはありますが、何より新しく覚える動作が少なく精度も良いという点でも優秀な商品であり、ひろく日常生活用具対象となってもらいたいと切に願います。

I wish that I could give this product 10 stars to make up for the two negative reviews here on Amazon. The MyEye 2 does what it claims. It's easy to get started. Simply turn it on, point at some text and the MyEye 2 will read it with a clear voice. There's nothing to assemble other than using two small cable ties to fasten a tiny mounting bracket to the arm of your glasses. I don't think the cost of the Orcam can be faulted either. This isn't a mass market device yet it's a compact and ergonomic design with many capabilities. Also, it may be possible to alleviate the cost through an assistive device program depending upon where you live. The Orcam MyEye 2 is like a personal assistant that's with you at all times.

Es un excelente producto, lo adquirí para mí madre quien tiene 90 años y desafortunadamente no se adapto, en lo personal, si hubiera sido para mí, estaría encantada, es un artículo q ayudaría a mi vida cotidiana, sobre todo me brindaría seguridad, en una palabra, sentiría libertad para interactuar en lo q estuviera realizando, lo recomiendo x q brinda todo lo q ofrece. La devolucion fue rápida, sin problema alguno, excelente servicio.

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.

On visits to art galleries I was unable to read the explanation cards posted besides or beneath the works of art. My gallery visits became less and less and virtually ended. With this product, all has changed and 9 now comfortably read the cards. It enhances the experience to a quite outstanding degree, to such an extent that 9 am now visiting galleries more and more.
