Great video! Thank you for making this. I have been curious about this since using the Envision app on the phone.
My pleasure. I'm glad you found it helpful. :)
I’ve realized even with using seeing AI, it’s just 1 million times easier to call someone with Be My Eyes or Aira. I get the independence thing, but the imperfections of these types of technologies still aren’t close enough to human judgment. Plus, for as expensive as these things are, you think their performance would be much better
In many cases that’s exactly it!
I entirely agree. now I have not tested Orkam yet and plan too but this so far as been abysmal.
I’m really disappointed, maybe the model that came out this year is better in this sense. I am on the spectrum and have sensory issues, the noises in my ear would make me jump out the window in about 1 minute.
Thank you for doing these reviews.
My pleasure!
Thank you. You have helped so much. 🙂
Thank you for your kind words! I’m so glad it was helpful.
I think you should make an upgraded video on Envision. They have a lot of new features as well. Does Orkin I think there should be an updated comparison video.
I'd love to do one, but unfortunately I can't get my hands on one at the moment. Too pricy. I'm very excited to see what the vision pro can do! May be a game-changer on both devices.
I have never used the envision glasses, but I own a Orcam MyEye Pro. My thought is that the Orcam is far better of a device than the Envision glasses at this point in time. The Orcam gives me independence when I’m shopping, and allows me to read text from multiple sources with little to no problems. I absolutely love my Orcam, but think I would feel let down if I had purchased the Envision glasses. I think most people will only struggle so long with a device before abandoning that device, and I fear the Envision glasses would just wind up in a drawer somewhere. I use Orcam, on the other hand, all the time and it goes with me everywhere.
I have come to the same concision. I’m so glad orcam helps you in your life. Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m sure it will help others looking at purchasing the device.
Are you low vision or blind? People say orcam is really for low vision users.
@@ckadlik1 I am not totally blind. I see the shapes of cans and things, but can’t read anything on them. Some things I recognize by colors and shape, but it’s always a crap shoot whether or not I get the right thing. I shop alone usually, and usually have to ask for help on every aisle. That’s not the case anymore. Orcam doesn’t read everything, or know every bar code, but I can shop by myself now. As you know, everyone with blindness or vision loss has a different experience. My vision is 20/1200 right now, with blind spots in the center of my vision in both eyes. I hope this explanation helps you. I recommend trying them out before jumping in with both feet.
Can you please do a video on orCam My eye.
Your videos are great very very informative
I just wanna say I love your videos coming from Vision impaired person myself.
Keep it up and thank you
I don’t know if I can get my hands on one to review. I will see if I can. :) if you would like to check it out, I do have orcam my eye pro review here. They are fairly similar in terms of OCR/reading ability.

Thanks so much for this review! I'm so glad I watched this. Not very impressive, especially considering the price. Appreciate your real, honest reviews.
It was very disappointing. I was hoping it would be on par with some of the other smart glasses options too.
Hi, I am picking between the Envision and the orcam to get, they both seem the same to me, except one thing i like about the envision, scene detection, does the orcam have scene detection aswell?
thank you for such a comprehensive review. I have only been testing the glasses for 2 hours and I have already reached many of the same conclusions you have. I find the device slow and very inaccurate when I used the "explore" feature. for example, it labelled a sink a toilet and there was no toilet in sight. honestly, I do think there will be a day when this product will be invaluable for persons dealing with vision loss but not yet.
I couldn't agree more. I'm glad this kind of tech exists, but it is very much still in its infancy. I find apple's new apps to be much more reliable but not perfect yet either sadly.
@@UnsightlyOpinions which apps are these? I'm Canadian so might not have access to them.
@@kerrig2471 I’m also Canadian. On the new iPhones, the magnifier app will identify doors, and a number of other items, the camera (even on older models) will also announce anything it sees like textiles, couches, dogs, etc.
I also use swatches for a good colour detector
Yes, products like this one as well as the or cam my eye are definitely in their infancy.
I honestly wish they combined forces and had a single thing with the pros of both. It would never happen but it would be a really functional device!
@@UnsightlyOpinions that would be something truly amazing!!!
By the way, the subscription is free now, for the app. Great video, really great content. Your views pretty much mirror my own.
Thank you! I appreciate the updated info.
Hey girl! Where are you gifted this or is it a demo? Or is there something you chose to purchase?
Demo unit. I only had it for a week :)
I would choose The Orcam over these glasses any day. What a flop. thank you for being very honest. I saw the Orcam, and these glasses reviewed by another blind CZcamsr, and boy did he sugar code them. I am very much appreciated your honest opinion on these products, because they are very expensive. The price is too high to pay for something that will turn out to be A lot less helpful than was portrayed on a blind channel nonetheless. Seeing how it actually worked on this channel made me lose respect for the other channel. Because that guy was actually recommending, and praising both glasses. When I actually watched his videos, I actually wanted these glasses. I’m glad to have come across your videos. Orcam is not accurate, but it is nowhere near as good as he said it is. These glasses however, I wouldn’t get them for free. They’re that awful. That’s my take on it anyway. Again. Thank you.
Agreed. Thank you. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. :)
I like you very much
Definitely doesn't sound like the greatest thing out there, especially considering the price. Based on what you showed I think even Microsoft seeing AI works better than Envision Google glasses. They seam slow and very unintuitive. The Orcam would probably be the better option if you're looking for portability. It can magnet to a pair of glasses so you don't have to hold it, and it does a way better job with OCR
You and I are entirely on the same page. I couldn't believe how non-intuitive and slow they were. While Orcam isn't perfect by a large stretch, it's much better in my opinion than Envision.
Just to clarify for you, the Envision AI app is now free.
Thank you! I appreciate the correction. :)
@@UnsightlyOpinions no problem. I have these glasses and use them every day. Very good video.
