You guys are hilarious 😂😂

Great video, however I have a question. I’m currently looking for voice control software is to use in my job. My job relies heavily on writing communication content, and sending in replying to various emails so writing in general so do you recommend voice access for windows or Dragon naturally speaking? Note I currently use Windows 11 laptop at my job and I’m totally blind. Thank you

Happy new year to you guys! Instead of the ball drop for New Year’s, Prescott, Arizona has a cowboy boot drop! We are the town with the first world’s rodeo, lots of cowboy hats!

Your intro music is too long. I quit watching while that was running.

Meta glasses: Beware of this one thing. The meta glasses are awesome but do not order them If there is any chance of you needing to change the lens prescription after the fact. You will never find anybody willing to send them back to Ray Ban For a prescription change unless you have Purchased the meta glasses from them. My wife bought me these for Christmas and I love them but I also felt that I needed a prescription change and it is impossible to make that happen. We are now trying to figure out how to send the glasses back that we got at a discount and reorder with a prescription change. So do not buy these if you are thinking that you might need to change the prescription after purchase. Only order them with the prescription specified. Meta screwed up in this regard and needs to make this clear to all purchasers.

I am wondering if the absence of Cory has any possible Corylation 😂 to that other Jolly guy all dressed in red and white? Inquiring minds want to know? Come to think of it, Luke has an interesting resemblance to the Christmas elf in the claymation Christmas show Rudolph, the red nose, reindeer. Happy new year from The BLT (Blind Low-vision Traveler)

Sorry not that impressed. Wy not just use Be my eyes to get to the centre in the first place? I'd rather do it the old fashion way using O/M skills. I'm sure sounds and smells would have helped in finding the door. BTW it would have been beneficial by continuing the video once inside the fitness centre. How did you navigate the area, find the machines you wanted and program the cardio equipment?

This won't work for what I'm needing. I need an audio dial phone for someone who's technologically inept.

thanks guys for the nice videos all out through the year , can't say i have one video as favorite , they are all good in general .. have a great New Year Eve and Happy New Year best wishes to you all

What was your favorite video in 2024? Did you get any interesting Assistive Technology this Christmas? We at Vision Forward's Tech Connect hope everyone is feeling festive as we wrap up 2024. Be sure to leave a LIKE and COMMENT any questions you still have! Thanks! Happy New Year!

Hi, thanks for this very helpful. Could you advise me how to charge it or plug in?

cool video. will have to check this out. yep.

Great show, but it would be helpful to tell what “Be my eyes” does prior to the walk through. Thanks

Where the pricetag for the technology might be OK for some, it is certainly not OK for everybody!! We need to fight for more affordable technology!! There are far too many people out there that cannot afford this, but need it!

Hey, you guys are hilarious together. Keep up the good work.

Using a CHILDREN's' book not a great idea for a first test, since the words in those kinds of books are much larger to being with than, say, your average paperback, Switching to the magazine shows up the problems that may be inherent in this type of system, as the fuzziness is pretty bad, especially when combined with the shakiness that is inherent with greater degrees of electronic magnification. Maybe this can be solved, eventually. (Certainly would make sense for people using this type device to mount the reading material on a solid surface, and keep ones head resting on a pillow or some such to help reduce the amount of movement).

Excellent learning vid. Didn’t know they did this! Thanks guys ! 👍👍

My brother lost eye sight bcs of blood sugar . He barely can see. Will these glasses work for him?

I want to get a pair for my mom who is VI.

Great and helpful content thank you 🤓

sounds really cool! this just made my Christmas list.

thanks! Hoping Santa will leave. pair of Met Bglases under the tree in a few weeks..

Are there any trade shows for 2025 that have the latest low vision glasses?

Does the eSight device offer automatic magnification, or is it only manual?

Thank you! This is exactly what I wanted to know since I am considering an Echo for my Audible library. The Kindle aspect is news to me, lol. So thanks for that, too!

Thank you so much.

Hi, on the live chat, the developer of the app did say you can share KZbin videos. Does anyone know how to do that?

thanks guys nice app , i actually got the full version of 20 bucks , i never catch this show live but thats cause our timezone and my off hours :) have a good one

Please stop the music it’s very annoying I want to listen to you very conflicting

I have an inquiry: my visual acuity is 20/400, and I suffer from central vision loss. What is the condition of the person who tested the device?

O man, I finally found a video of someone going over the texting functionality of these glasses. This to me is a huge feature and for some reason most of these reveiew video missed at least mensioning it in there videos.

Hey! I have terrible night vision due to Retinitus Pigmentosa and I was very greatful for your low-light demonstration. I have two questions: the glasses are powered via USBC and the batteries are in the neck rest; is the neck rest essential to the device? Could you attach a new, much larger, external battery to them? And, I'm really interested in the image stablisation; on zero magnification, can you actually walk whilst wearing these or does the image get thrown around? (that was three questions...)

You can customize the home screen by long-pressing the "ok" or centre button on any application and waiting for a few seconds. When you here a beep, a context menu appears where you can add the app to your home screen, delete, move it up/down etc.

Hello! A very interesting podcast though I agree with the previous commenter that you may want to spend more time with the phone to know its features and present them to us. Especially relevant for people who are deciding whether to purchase the phone. Indeed, returning to an app from the home screen doesn't bring you to the same position where you left off. However, you can long-press the "home" button and go to Recent apps. Down arrow to the app there and it will bring you to the same position you were previously on, before going to the home screen. Hope this helps.

Hi, do you guys know what US selular carriers are supported with this phone? I'm from the USA. Thank you very much. Dave Jenne from Tilton New Hampshire.

Great video lol as a lover of watches, I also have the regular talking atomic watch as well. I have two of them and one is smaller and one is bigger. I actually switched out of my smart watch to use my atomic watch. It actually goes with the phone and does not go with the clock in Colorado. It actually relies on the phone to send it which is very interesting. Well anyway, I do have a couple of Apple watches as well. I do use my series 10 for sleep tracking and every day use along with my other talking watches the ultra two is the one I used for work because it is rugged big and beefy and I love a big watch on my wrist. I have something about wearing a huge watch I love watches anyway the benefits of a smart watch are so far and Beyond, but what you said was the digital crown is used to bring up Apple Pay it’s actually the power button you click the power button on the side twice Very quickly and that will bring up your bank card. The regular talking watch is great as well if you want to use that if you don’t want notifications, which actually I switched out of my Apple Watch, which I have been using all day texting receiving messages at work and I switched to a regular talking atomic watch now I’m at home just unwinding for the day. Then tonight when I go to sleep, I will change out of my atomic talking watch put my Apple Watch series turn on, and I will sleep with it as I will sleep track the cool thing about the smart watch versus other watches is that you can sleep track health benefits, paying for everything if you want on Apple Pay also, you can actually have it. Wake you up in the morning without hearing your phone. It will pulse you Whereas the talking watch doesn’t have the benefit of that. It will wake you up, but you have to put it close to you and if you wear it, it might be a little uncomfortable at night plus the regular talking watches don’t have sleep tracking anyways I do think that talking watches are great. The problem with the talking watch though is that they are not waterproof or water resistant like your smart watches you can actually put your smart watch in the water and you will have no problem. You have an eject Sound to blow the water out of the speaker but on your talking watch you have to be kind of careful so you don’t get water in the speakers.

Whats is the best for cataracts? Thanks

Comment: I like this WIDE field of vision, the best I have seen. Question: If I purchase one of these and try to adapt it to get some slight peripheral vision (by carving a bit out around the edges) will I totally defeat the field of vision? (Stop laughing. I really want to be able to play music and see my hands, figers at the same time).... Thanks.

I have been using the Maggie for a couple of weeks now. the 100 field of vision is amazing! The Iphone camera must be making the difference. Thanks to you guys for introducing me to it. Would love to get suggestions on how to adjust the headset to get just a bit of peripheral vision. I need to see both sheet music and my harp strings and moving my head back and forth so quickly, even with the focus locked, does not do it for me.

Can I clear TSA at the airport and take the GO on board an airplane? Would love to travel with the device to enhance my overall experience.

From your initial presentation, I had no idea that you were blind. This is great! Lol! I was looking for information on these glasses from a blind person perspective as I am one of them. Anyway, they look promising, and I am most curious to find out if they will integrate with GPS apps that can tell you which way to turn if you are walking to an unfamiliar location. Also, if they will integrate with the upcoming Glide mobility aid. Very exciting times to live as a blind person.

next time you test the alexa ap, can you show how smoothly you can move through the actual alexa settings in the menu, when using the up and down buttons on the phone? I'm not asking about asking a voice command to alexa. thanks.

there is an option in TalkBack settings, advanced settings where you can choose if you want to hear first the name, state or type of control. It is easy fix. I wish you spend more time with screen readers before you discriminate them.

Thanks.
