OrCam Learn ATW is the newest addition to the OrCam range. It has been developed to support employees with learning challenges such as dyslexia, autism, ADHD, processing difficulties and those with reading fatigue in the workplace. It is only available via Access to Work (ATW). 

OrCam Learn is a revolutionary tool for the workplace, that empowers employees with learning challenges to read any printed text from any surface, offline.

Use the OrCam Learn in any environment, including low-light, and without any internet connectivity. The device can be easily used to read all kinds of printed or digital text.

Simple to use, with just a simple touch of a button information is read aloud via the device’s internal speaker or can be connected to a wireless speaker. If more discretion is required for example; reading sensitive and/or private information, the OrCam Learn ATW can be used with wireless or wired headphones for complete privacy.

Spot-read single words of interest as well as read a whole A4 page of information. With the added ability to also increase the length of time between each spoken word, the OrCam Learn can adapt to the employees' individual needs so they can listen to information at their chosen reading pace.

• Spot reading - Locate the red arrow just below the text you want to read, the OrCam Learn will then read this word to you.
• Area - A landscape red rectangle allows users to accurately frame an area of text to read, the OrCam Learn can capture a whole A4 document, to do this simply rotate your document 90 degrees to landscape or turn your OrCam Learn 90 degrees in your hand, the Area box will now be able to capture the whole A4 page.

The OrCam Learn ATW does not have the ability to save, store or transmit information and data so you can be assured that the device is fully GDPR and data protection compliant for use within the workplace.
