Question: I'm looking for a device that can help me read independently, what options are available?

One option is OrCam, a company that makes a variety of assistive technology products to help people with vision loss live their lives. The OrCam MyEye, OrCam Read 3 and OrCam Read are all wearable devices that can read text and perform other tasks. Each model has advanced features like voice control, color identification and real-time face recognition. OrCam has flexible pricing options and a 30-day return policy, so you can try it out before committing to the full package. OrCam's products are designed to help you regain independence and confidence.

Another good option is NaturalReader, a full-featured text-to-speech tool that can handle lots of file formats like PDF and Word documents. It offers natural-sounding voices in more than 50 languages and has features like voice cloning and content awareness. NaturalReader also offers a web app, mobile app and a Chrome extension, so you can use it on lots of devices. It's a good option for people with dyslexia or ADHD, and it can help you get more out of assistive technology for other learning challenges.

If you want a text-to-speech conversion tool, Audioread is a good option. It can convert written documents into audio and supports ultra-realistic voices for listening for hours. Audioread works on multiple devices, including a web app, browser extensions and mobile apps. It's good for multitasking and productivity, letting you listen to articles, PDFs and emails while you're doing other things.
