OrCam Read Smart is very easy to use.
Simple to use, will be very helpful in aiding day to day tasks.
This device now allows me to read my books again - this was becoming very difficult.
Very easy to use. Nice and compact that you can carry about.
Impressive so far!
Now enjoying my collection of books that have been sitting unread!
I am particularly happy with a special combination of languages (German, English and Spanish) which VisionAid organised for me.
It's brilliant, so happy with it, thank you.
It has revolutionised mums life and given her back the pleasure of reading
This has helped me a lot.
Just set up. Brilliant so far. Just reading a book - first time for years, and also a magazine and some cookery books!
It has made such a difference to my life - being able to read again.
This product has changed her life and will help for the rest of her life, when she completely loses her sight. (Husband)
I was surprised at how quickly I was able to put ORCAM to use, though I think that realising its full potential will take me some time.
I am expecting the OrCam to be a morale-boosting major asset
It's a very clever piece of equipment & I am sure it will be a great help to me. Nigel did a good and clear lesson on how to use it.
Unbelievable for a small thing that you can carry around, when I get used to it will be very very useful.
The OrCam is brilliant, I wish I'd had it long ago.
Very light to hold - Impressed!
It takes a little getting used to, but has helpful instructions and videos.
I would be lost without it!!
Very pleased with my OrCam!
The product is awesome, friends and family cannot believe it reads and speaks so fast, it’s amazing, now my wife can scan pages from a book and sit back and listen. We are going a little at a time to fully get to know the commands which I have printed off and are kept handy for my wife to use. Thank you once again for the exemplary service from yourself and Visionaid.
