*Please add to your basket before checkout. While stocks last. Bluetooth Earphones RRP £40.
Instantly reads any printed or digital text out loud to you. It is the most sophisticated and efficient reading device available for people with low vision, dyslexia or other reading difficulties.
The first of its kind handheld reader for people with low vision, dyslexia, reading fatigue or other difficulties.
The OrCam Read Smart includes a new feature, Smart Reading. It allows you to simply ask for the text that interests you: “Read the headlines”, “Read amounts”, or “Start from” a specific section (like “desserts” in a menu).
OrCam Read can be used in any environment, including low-light, and without requiring any internet connectivity. The device can be easily used to read any kind of printed or digital text, at home, in the office, or on the go.
The OrCam Read Smart comes with English, French and German languages as standard, additional available languages are: Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch.
Special order devices are needed for other languages.
1) Pointer: Locate the red arrow just below the text you want to read. Allows you to start reading from a specific sentence in your document (rather than having to listen to the entire text)
2) Area: A red rectangle allows low vision users to accurately frame an area of text to read (e.g. a document or a particular paragraph in a newspaper)
Training is provided free of charge during a demonstration and we're always here to help with completely free additional training or support via telephone, video call or email.

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.
