Often times, blind and visually impaired users need to perform many functions to access printed text. The PROCER 3 aims to simplify these activities by offering one device that can do many functions. Join Blind Abilities podcast host Simon Bonenfant, live from the 2024 NFB National Convention, as he chats with Mariano Lescano, C.T.O, as well as Manuel Diaz Ferreio, CEO at PROCER Technologies.

 

Using a camera accessory that can be mounted to glasses or attached to one’s finger via a ring, pictures taken by the PROCER are precise. In addition to reading text through Optical Character Recognition methods, AI features enhance image and scene descriptions. Need to make a note about the text just captured? Use the built-in microphone to record voice notes or names of files and folders.

 

From the PROCER Technologies Website:

“PROCER 3 is a device that helps people with reading difficulties improve their work performance. It makes it easy to capture large volumes of text from different sources such as a portable scanner, a pendrive, the cloud or a camera, which can be attached to a ring or a pair of glasses. PROCER 3 allows you to create and edit reports by dictating or through a keyboard, attach voice notes and share them very easily. The texts can be played anywhere and at any time.”

 

Currently, the PROCER 3 is being sold in Argentina, but they are looking to expand to the U.S. If you’d like to contact them, visit their Contact Page. To read more about the device and see it in action, visit their Website.
