$2,095.00

Hands-Free Reading of Printed Text with AI Summaries, Translations & Document Storage

The HumanWare Odyssey is an intelligent, hands-free reading device designed for people who are blind or living with low vision. With a single button, Odyssey captures printed text—from tiny labels to full A3 pages—and reads it aloud instantly with high-quality speech. It combines simple, tactile controls with powerful AI tools for summarizing documents, translating text (English/French/Spanish), and reviewing bill details.

Odyssey brings independence to everyday reading tasks—at home, in the office, or on the go.

What Odyssey Does

Place your printed material under Odyssey’s arm, press one button, and it begins reading aloud. Its 13 MP camera captures text reliably in vertical or horizontal orientation, while onboard storage lets you save up to 1,000 documents for later review.

When you need more than spoken text, Odyssey’s built-in AI tools can:

Produce concise summaries
Translate content between English, French, and Spanish
Provide an at-a-glance bill overview

Large tactile keys, intuitive menus, and a clean audio output ensure ease of use for all experience levels.

How Odyssey Improves Your Life

Odyssey is the hands-free reading companion that simplifies everyday tasks:

Read letters, bills, recipes, books, labels, packaging, and instruction sheets without holding a magnifier.
Save important documents and re-read them later—up to 1,000 items.
Let AI summarize long texts or translate important content instantly.
Read comfortably without needing to adjust contrast, lighting, or magnification.
Fold the arm down for compact storage and take Odyssey wherever you need it.

Odyssey becomes the listening-focused tool in your low-vision toolkit—perfect when magnification is tiring or when you prefer speech over visual effort.
