@JonathanMosen Hi, I've just read your interview with Vicky, very impressive what those smart glasses can do. Here in Brazil, I'm probably able to buy one, but I'm not sure I'll find resellers who let me test a model extensively. One question I'd like asked to users like her is, are Envision able to accurately read the screens of musical instruments like keyboards such as those by Yamaha and Roland, including all of its menus and tabs, so I could program it as fast as a sighted person?

@clv0 the problem you’ll have is that every time you change an option, it is likely to speak the whole screen again. So it won’t be nearly as fast as a sighted person can do it, but you may be able to do it if you’re really stuck.

@JonathanMosen Ah OK. So someone should probably take an AI and customize it for the context of a musical keyboard, something like this.
