The OrCam Read can be used in any environment, including low-light, and without requiring any internet connectivity. The device can be easily used to read any kind of printed or digital text, at home, in the office, or on the go. Make your reading easier and more enjoyable, add the OrCam Read to your cart TODAY!.
