Check out some of the latest product releases for people experiencing sight
loss.
OrCam MyEye and OrCam MyReader
Israeli-based tech company OrCam Technologies recently released version 7 of
the OrCam MyEye and OrCam MyReader. The OrCam is a wearable device that
detects what you are looking at, recognises the presence of text, and speaks
the text aloud. This includes text in books, newspapers, letters and
restaurant menus. The OrCam can also identify various products, mobile phone
text messages, credit cards, and, in the case of the OrCam MyEye, even
recognise faces.
ZoomText 11
The new ZoomText 11 features include, Geometric Smoothing, Zoom to 1x, and
photographic enhancement. ZoomText and JAWS are now compatible, providing
users with a combination of these popular speech and magnification packages.
ElBraille R
The ElBraille combines the power and flexibility of a modern mainstream
computer running the WindowsR 10 operating system with JAWS, and a Braille
display with a Braille keyboard to offer a fully accessible compact
computer.
The Dot Watch
South Korean start-up 'Dot' have made the first active Braille smartwatch
for people with sight loss. The Dot Watch, which is strapped around the
wrist just like a regular watch, uses magnets and a grid of pins to create
four braille characters at a time, that change at adjustable speeds,
allowing users to read text messages and use apps on any device via
Bluetooth.
