Reading (continued)
If you would like to stop the reading before the OrCam device has finished,
press the Trigger button or point at an area without text and it will stop reading
right away. With the Stop gesture enabled place your hand over the text and
make sure you are looking at the back of your hand.
Faces, Products and Colors (MyEye Only)
The OrCam device will announce details about unrecognized faces it detects, announcing if the
person in front of you is a child, a young man or woman, or a man or woman. When pointing at pre-
entered product or money note it will announce what it is. In some localities where Barcode
Recognition is available, point towards the barcode and the device will announce product information.
Point and linger your finger toward a colored area with no text and the device will announce the color.
You can personalize your OrCam MyEye device by teaching it to recognize faces and frequently used
products. To enter Learning Mode: press and hold the Trigger button for about two seconds.
Face Learning: When the OrCam device identifies that you are looking at a face, a long press on the
Trigger button will enter a brief learning sequence. Please position yourself approximately three feet
from the other person and ask the other person not to move for a few seconds, as you hold your head
steady. Then you will hear: “Please name the person in front of you after the beep”: record the
person’s name after the beep; speak clearly and loudly for best results. Press the Trigger button to
confirm adding person, or press a Volume button to record again.
Product Learning: When the OrCam device identifies that you are looking at a product, a long press
on the Trigger button will enter a brief learning sequence. You will hear the announcement: “Start new
product learning.” Please point at the product three times at different positions. Point at the center of
the product three times, each time changing the picture the camera is taking by holding it first at
arm’s length, then point again holding it closer to you, and then once against a different background.
Tips to Remember
Please keep in mind that the camera is located on your glasses. Make sure that there is nothing
obscuring the camera from seeing the text, face or product.
If you have repeated difficulties in getting the OrCam device to recognize your finger, text, face or
product - try adjusting your head, at first moving slightly downward - chin towards chest.
It is important to keep your finger pointing upright towards the ceiling while you move it forward and
backward so that the camera can see your fingertip. If pointing is proving to be difficult, use the
Trigger button or Auto Page Detection as an alternative.
To announce the current time, raise your hand upward with your fist closed and the back of your hand
facing you, as if looking at one’s watch. For best results, directly face your wrist.
Adjust the OrCam device’s settings by using the Audio Settings Menu. To enter the menu, press the
Trigger button and the Volume button simultaneously.
