[Nfbf-l] Something New for the Blind- OrCam - check it out

[Alan Dicey]

Dear Friends,

This came in to my "In Box", from a friend .



It is very Interesting, just went to listen to the video.

The voice is great, that much I can say.

Some said it was "Pricy" though!!

An independent review of this device would be most interesting!

Hope the AFB or some other Technical organization  does a good review and write up on it.

With Best Regards,

God Bless,

Alan

OK, sighted people say it is around the first two joints of your pinki finger, clipped to your shades, with a small wire running to the bone conduction headphone, with a wire running from the back of your ear to your back supposedly to your battery pack clipped unto your belt at the back .

 Sounds lovely and a good idea - now if only apple will buy this and intergrate this into a phone....

 Regards,

Carel
