Hands‑free reading of printed text, with AI summaries and translations
Odyssey is a blindness and low‑vision reading device that captures printed text and reads it aloud with one button.

Odyssey is part of the category of blindness and low vision aids for reading: a hands‑free device that captures printed text and reads it aloud.
How does this product change your life?
Place a letter, recipe, magazine page, or package under Odyssey’s arm and press one button—it starts reading out loud. Text is captured in vertical or horizontal orientation, and you can store up to 1,000 items for later. When you need more than reading, the AI tools provide concise summaries, translations (EN/FR/ES), and a bill overview. Large tactile keys make control simple. The 13 MP camera delivers sharp results, the battery lasts up to six hours, and the arm folds down for easy storage.
Who it helps
People with low vision or vision loss who want a hands‑free way to read printed texts—letters, bills, labels, recipes, and more. Many users live with macular degeneration or prefer listening over magnifying. Odyssey complements other vision aids (hand‑held magnifier, video magnifier, reading glasses) when you want high contrast, large print, or high‑power magnification.
How Odyssey fits among reading aids
Hand‑held magnifier / magnifying glass: great for quick labels; requires holding and steady distance. Odyssey is hands‑free and reads aloud.
Video magnifier (portable or CCTV): boosts contrast and magnifying on a screen; Odyssey focuses on text‑to‑speech—many people use both.
High‑power reading glasses: useful for extended reading/writing; Odyssey helps when listening is faster or more comfortable.
Everyday examples
Let Odyssey read a bill summary. Capture a recipe or instructions with small print. Review labels and packaging at home, then save items to re‑read later. For tasks that benefit from increased contrast or large print, use a video magnifier; for quick look‑ups, a hand‑held magnifier helps. Odyssey becomes the listening tool in your set of low‑vision aids for reading.
