OrCam devices such as OrCam MyEye are portable, artificial vision devices that allow visually impaired people[1] to understand text and identify objects through audio feedback, describing what they are unable to see.
Reuters described an important part of how it works as "a wireless smartcamera" which, when attached outside eyeglass frames, can read and verbalize text, and also supermarket barcodes. This information is converted to spoken words and entered "into the user’s ear." Face-recognition[2] is also part of OrCam's feature set.[3]
^The NYTimes article headlined "Simple Home Improvements for the Vision Impaired" (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/13/realestate/simple-home-improvements-for-the-vision-impaired.html) uses twice the words "visually impaired"
