OrCam announces new hearing aid

OrCam is expanding its product line with new devices that are tackling new use cases.

OrCam’s best known device is OrCam MyEye 2. It’s a small device for the visually impaired that you put on your glasses to help you navigate the world around you.

At CES, OrCam announced that the MyEye 2 will benefit from two new features. In addition to being able to point to text and signs to read text aloud, recognize faces, and identify objects and banknotes, you can let the device guide you.

For example, you can say "what's in front of me? "And the device may tell you there is a door. You can then ask to be guided to this door. The MyEye 2 is also improving in terms of natural language processing for interactive reading sessions.

With regard to the new devices, OrCam now offers a device for people with hearing loss with the OrCam Hear. It can be particularly useful in noisy rooms. The device helps you identify and isolate a speaker's voice so you can follow a conversation even in public space. You can pair it with your existing Bluetooth hearing aids.

Finally, the company introduced OrCam Read, a handheld AI player. This time, you don't attach a camera to your glasses, you take the device in your hand and point it at text. The company says it could be especially helpful for people who have reading difficulties due to dyslexia.
