Reading and Recognizing with OrCam
The OrCam device is capable of reading, and is programmed to read to you when
triggered. The OrCam MyEye device is also programmed to recognize faces and
products and can recognize all entered faces and products as well as pre-loaded
products, such as money notes (these features are not available with OrCam
MyReader).
The OrCam MyEye device continuously searches for faces. Each time a face is
recognized, the device announces the name of the person or informs you how
many people are in front of you.
Triggering the Camera
The OrCam device knows when you want it to read or recognize by trigger actions
you perform. There are three way to activate the OrCam device in order to begin
reading or recognizing:
1.
Point with your finger.
2.
Press the
TRIGGER
button on the Base Unit.
3.
Tap the center of the Base Unit (disabled by default).
Detecting Your Finger
Pointing is the preferred gesture for showing the OrCam device. When the camera
sees your finger, it knows you want it to read or recognize something in front of
you. If you are right handed, use the index finger of your right hand. If you are left
handed, use the index finger of your left hand.
