According to the 2022 National Health Interview Survey, an estimated 50.18 million American adults reported experiencing some degree of vision loss. Of these, nearly four million have a lot of trouble seeing, even when wearing glasses, and 340,000 cannot see at all.
Magnifying devices have come a long way in the past 10 years. They can provide an enlarged/magnified image to help those with vision impairments maintain an independent lifestyle at work, home or school. Magnifying devices help people more easily in activities such as reading standard print, enjoying a hobby, or viewing a presentation by increasing the size of text and objects.
The RUBY 10 magnifier is one of the latest innovations in this space. It has a 10-inch touchscreen and three dedicated cameras to magnify letters, magazines, labels and photos.
With a 10-inch touchscreen and three dedicated cameras, the RUBY 10 has a swing out arm that allows you to view items in your hand and write. When extended, the arm also enables full-page optical character recognition (OCR).
With the touch of a button, you can also scan pages and have them read aloud to you. The third camera is dedicated to seeing objects at a short distance such as signs and menus on a wall. Additionally, you can connect a headset to listen to documents privately.
At just over two pounds, the RUBY 10 battery offers 3.5 hours of continuous use, with a 4-hour charging time.
