Subject: Revised OrCam in the news and free demo day

Hi Joe, this is the revised email. Thank you, Eve





Hello New Jersey NFB members, I have a few pieces of good news to share from 
OrCam. For those who are unfamiliar with this technology, OrCam makes AI 
devices for people who are blind, have vision impairment, and reading 
challenges. The assistive devices convert visual information into audio, in 
real-time. Portable, discreet and lightweight, OrCam reads both digital and 
printed text, recognizes faces, identifies products, money and more. Your 
hands are free to do other things while listening to the audio. OrCam was 
created to harness the power of computer vision and increase people’s 
independence.



The good news. First, The City of Newark is first in the US to buy OrCam 
assistive devices for public use at various locations throughout the City. 
Click here to hear Eve Posner, Dr Wade of the Newark Health Department and 
Krystle Allen of Eyes Like Mine discuss this historic progress in New Jersey’s 
largest city.



Second, OrCam has signed a collaboration agreement with NFB. A result of 
this collaboration is an ongoing 10% discount for NFB members off their 
purchase an OrCam device. If anyone needs information on this offer, please 
contact Eve Posner at 973.820.5090 or the email below.



Thirdly, I’m hosting a demo day event in Newark on April 18th, from 1 to 
4pm. This is a free opportunity to try out the different OrCam devices. 
Again, that’s April 18th from 1-4. It’s free but you need to register for a 
specific appointment time. Click here for the information and registration 
link for your complimentary demo.



Fourth piece of news, OrCam has a new device called OrCam Read coming out in 
May. It’s a first of its kind handheld digital reader called OrCam Read. It’s 
the size of a fat pen. OrCam Read is designed for people with mild to 
moderate vision loss and reading challenges like dyslexia. Click here to 
listen to a short video about ORCam Read.



Lastly, OrCam was named by Time Magazine as one of the top inventions of the 
decade. Click here for more.



As always, feel free to reach out to me, Eve, with questions or for 
information about OrCam devices and payment plan options. I’m here for you, 
New Jersey.
