Humanware - Odyssey Reader.

The Odyssey Reader is a text-to-speech reading device designed for people with low vision or blindness. You simply place a printed page — anything from a small label to a full magazine or A3-sized document — under its camera, press a button, and the device captures the text and reads it aloud. It offers a hands-free, easy way to read letters, bills, packaging, books, recipes, and more.

Odyssey TReader Product Features

  • One-button, hands-free operation — With large tactile keys and a simple interface, Odyssey makes reading easy even for those who have difficulty seeing or handling small controls.
  • Reads a wide range of printed materials: From tiny labels to full-page documents (horizontal or vertical), including letters, magazines, packaging, recipes, bills, etc.
  • Built-in 13 MP camera + OCR to speech: The high-resolution camera captures clear text, then optical character recognition (OCR) converts it into natural speech.
  • Ability to save up to 1,000 documents for later listening: You can store captured texts (letters, bills, recipes, etc.) in the device’s memory and listen to them later — helpful for record-keeping or repeated review without rescanning.
  • AI-powered extras: summaries, translations, and bill-overviews. — For documents like bills or long articles, Odyssey can provide concise AI-generated summaries; it can also translate text between English, French, and Spanish.
