Lumyeye FAQ: Everything About the AI Alternative to OrCam & Be My Eyes
Everything about your intelligent visual assistant. Pricing, Kapsys compatibility, use cases, reading machine, electronic magnifier and security.
What exactly is Lumyeye?
How is it different from a reading machine?
Lumyeye and reading machines share the same goal but differ in usage:
- Mobility: Where a reading machine is often stationary, Lumyeye follows you everywhere in your pocket.
- Interactivity: Instead of passive reading, you can have a conversation with Lumyeye: "Just read the invoice total" or "Who is the sender?".
How is it different from smart glasses?
Smart glasses are high-performance devices but require a significant hardware investment (often > $2,000). Lumyeye offers a different philosophy: use the power you already have.
By leveraging the camera and processor of your current smartphone, we provide very high-quality visual assistance without needing to wear, recharge, or purchase expensive new equipment.
Is the app paid?
You can download Lumyeye for free to discover its capabilities. For unlimited use, we offer affordable no-commitment plans:
- Monthly: $16.90 / month
- 6 Months: $99 (1 month free)
- Annual: $167 (2 months free)
- 2 Years: $299 (3 months free)
How do I read mail or a menu?
It's very simple: say "Read this document". The app detects text, even if it's not perfectly framed, and reads it to you with a natural voice. At a restaurant, you can even ask: "Are there any vegetarian dishes on this menu?".
â–¶ Watch the demoDoes it recognize money and products?
Yes. For money, simply show your bills or coins, and Lumyeye announces their value instantly. In a store, it reads labels and can distinguish one can from another.
â–¶ Money DemoCan it help me find objects?
Absolutely. If you've misplaced your keys or glasses, ask "Can you see my keys?" while slowly panning your phone around. The AI will analyze the scene and alert you to their presence as soon as they enter the field of view.
â–¶ Lost Objects DemoWhat else can I ask?
Lumyeye is connected to the Internet. You can ask practical questions like:
- "What is the expiration date of this yogurt?"
- "Do my clothes match?"
- "Find the opening hours of the nearest pharmacy."
Is it compatible with Kapsys SmartVision?
Yes, absolutely. We've worked to ensure optimal compatibility with the Kapsys SmartVision. You get all Lumyeye features (reading, recognition, web) directly on your keypad phone.
Is my data private?
Privacy is our absolute priority. Analyzed images are not stored on our servers. Furthermore, Lumyeye does not perform named facial recognition in order to respect the anonymity of those around you.
Safety Warning (Getting Around)
Lumyeye is a fantastic information assistant, but for your safety, it does not replace your white cane, guide dog, or human assistance.
Use the app to better understand your surroundings, read signs, or find your way, but always remain vigilant when moving around.
