Because you can carry the OrCam around with you, you always have the reading aid at hand. The device is easy to use and works absolutely reliably and flawlessly for over a year of continuous use!

Currently the device doesn’t let you know which mode it is in. However, I believe this is due to be a feature in a future update. The reason behind this is due to this specific device supporting a range of disabilities. You recieve an alert if there is not enough light to process text, meaning it could be difficult in low-light situations. Again, the product does have an LED light so this should be enabled in later updated. Thank you to VisionAid for letting me trial this product for a few weeks.
