Orcam is so expensive.

I tried it, it’s not for me.
My friend is blind and use it on iOS though so it can’t be that inaccessible..

Sorry, I meant in terms of watching the video - it being accessible to the audience on reddit. I tried to view and it wanted me to get the app. Youtube offers but let me carry on, whereas this didn't

Yeah, I remember the site not being very accessible.

And barely works, I think it works better if you have some vision left.
bradley22 1 points 1y ago
Me too.

See my post on this thread. I tried it and I know my boyfriend who has some vision left was able to use it a bit more competently. We tried. When he did it for me the first time it worked a little better, when I did it it was just bad. When he had it on and did it himself he was able to work with it at least some. His comment is that he doesn’t think much of it. He still thinks stuff like it on the phone does better or the same.

I think the same thing about the phones.

The concept sounds cool but it doesn’t really work all that well. I think it works better if you have some vision left and you can position things right and point at things. I’ve never had much luck with them. I recently tried it with the glasses it hooked on to and couldn’t get it to work. My boyfriend with some remaining vision can get it to work a little better or better, but he can position it. When I tried to position it and point and he had me try it out it just was a spectacular fail. The charge on it is weird, and it takes forever to charge.
