Product Learning
When the OrCam device identifies that you are looking at a product, 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. Typically this is done
by pivoting your hand or body to the left or right. Make sure that each time your
point you hear the double-beep and the camera shutter sound. For any product, it
is possible, but not required, to teach up to 4 sides.
Note:
The Product Recognition
feature is designed to recognize
products with unique textures,
usually found on labels and
packaging. The more texture on the
product, the easier it is for the
OrCam device to recognize it. You
will receive the best results with
products that are between the size
of a playing card and the size of a
cereal box. The OrCam device might
find it difficult to recognize objects with few distinct features, such as a wallet,
fruits or the OrCam device itself, even if they have a unique shape and/or color.
Note:
When identifying money notes, perform the identification more than once
to ensure that the amount was identified correctly.
