IPEVO VZ-X ~ Affordable Assistive Technology ~ Webcam & Document Camera

Thanks Sam!!!

Can I use this device to scan my book collection? I looked at CZUR and other similar book scanners but there is something about the ipevo scanner that I find appealing. One other thing is that it supports Linux which I use all the time.

Wow, I'm trying to help my dad who has lost a lot of his vision to glaucoma. Finding this video is great. I'll sub and check out your other videos! Thanks for helping!

Thanks, Sam. This product looks great. I went to Amazon to order and read the reviews. First, the Amazon price is way higher than the price on the company website, so don't buy it on amazon. Second, the wireless connection is through the devices own wifi network, meaning that you can be on the internet wile using the camera wirelessly (though you with it wired to your computer). That limits the usefulness of the wireless conneciton option, so I might go with the less expensive green version that connects either with HDMI or USB. I reached to IPEVO to ask if they are planning to come out with a different wireless connection option, but no answer yet.

Do you know of a product that has a distance camera that will connect wirelessly to help students see the board? It needs to be able to zoom from 15-20 feet away and connect to a chromebook or windows computer. I've been looking for years for a small portable camera, because so many of my students want discrete and would rather no see the board than to have a large piece of equipment. Does IPEVO VZ-X view the info on a whiteboard from 15 feet away?

sadly, it's now over 400 buck at amazon

I love your tutorial. It's very clear and comprehensive. Thanks for posting this video.

G'day! Thanks for this helpful review. Question: My intent is to use it mainly for taking photos of 12"x12" photo scrapbook pages. Would you estimate I could get the image to fit this 12"x12" dimension and the resolution of the camera going to be decent enough for viewing (and maybe printing) some photos digitized from it? Any idea on what dpi I'd have on a photo of a 12"x12" photo page?

Sam, I just bought one of these for my son who has nystagmus. Do you think he could point the camera at the teacher and see what she is doing on his iPad at his desk? Trying to figure out how it all works. Thanks for showing this. We love watching your videos and finding ways to help him. Thank you!

Will this work with a Mac computer?

Thanks for the review and for the recommendation of the video!! Does their software also flatten and deskew books?

This device just might allow me to record music again without using DAW, just the monitor. Thanks for a great review. ")

Not less than 300 dollars anymore. Still a better price though. Anyone know how long the battery lasts?

Yesterday it was still $299.99

Today it is available for $549.99 USD and total cost with taxes and all other charges is $867 USD. In Canadian dollars it is $1512

Is it any good for distance? Say for a classroom setting? if so this is a God send

Sam, great vid, one idea, edit in arrows to point out buttons or things you are bringing attention to. Thanks for this one, I WANT ONE!

Please do the video in OCT and text to speech plesae

CAN IT CONNECT TO AN IPAD?

Is there anything like that but something for iPad users like me?

Just bought it! Go Sam, go!! I have hated that “assistive technology” is so expensive!! I have a cctv that is at least 20 years old. It reciently stopped working.i spent several months struggling to get it fixed and could not find a local repair shop. I didn’t want to have to shell outmore money for shipping.... luckily my friend had a friend who was able to fix it. I paid about 1/2 the original cost of it when i bought it 2nd hand- i wasn’t looking forward to replacing it with something new. Mow, ooooo,baby,looking forward to this!! Thanks Sam!!!😎👍🏽😺😂. Oooo, it just hit me, early birthday present to my self!🎂

If it's a document scanner I would like to see it scan documents and see how it does compared to others.. not a business card that I can zoom in with my phone.. thanks

That looks awesome

Awesome! I was literally a heartbeat away from spending $3500 on a device. I just ordered this device from Amazon. Excited to see how this works out.

Great to find your channel, hope you had a great time in Law Vegas

Maybe after I save up for your phone !!

Can it work with ABBYY Fine Reader or other third party OCR softwares?

Just checking in to all these wonderful comments and words from your viewers. Thanks so much, everyone! Also, thanks for the great review, Sam :)

Hey Sam.

Great video! What a awesome piece of technology they are you have. Yes I would like to see the OCR and other features that I can do that would be awesome.

Thanks Sam for all that you do. You’re the best

I love assistant technology for us VIP Community people

Hey Sam awesome video man! This just may be exactly what I'm looking for! Yes please make a video on the software. I would also love to see how well it magnifies a book and how comfortable it would be to write on a piece of paper. I also read all the details on their site, it doesn't say anything about the magnification power or warranty.

Great video. Yes, please do video using the software that does text to audio or provide documentation on the software. I didn't find anything about the software.

Have you tried the relumino vr app from Samsung ?

Hey Sam, I am a person suffering from low vision. I'm 20 and i wish to be a stock market trader. So, could you suggest me some options for a comfortable experience ? I'm new to this kind of assistive tech. Thanks

Hi Sam! It was great meeting you in person at the recent NFB Convention in Las Vegas. Great video! This information is so helpful.

Thank you Sam. I had bought a simpler IPEVO device a couple of years ago, but this one looks like it would be much more functional for low vision use. The one I have does a high quality scan, but you have to use your computer to change colors or increase the size.

Yes pleeeease! It'd be awesome to see it plugged to a computer. Could it also work to see things on a distance? I'm looking for something like that to help me seeing presentations in my laptop at work. Thank u!

Love this.

Yes, please review the OCR software that comes with the product. Great video.

That sounds amazing!

Really great tool! Thanks for sharing!

This is exactly what I always wanted! Thanks Sam.

I've had the huge desk top cctv for about 20 years nearly because I simply can't afford to shell out thousands for the smaller options. I'm actually going to go buy this now and hope the price in the UK is similar.
Thanks Sam, this has put a huge smile on my face.

Great minds think alike - I got one of these delivered here on Friday. I think it's cool, especially for the price, there's some quite bad image ghosting though at higher magnification. Definitely not the best, but considering the price it's pretty damn good

Very cool! So happy that it’s affordable.

Omg man, this is awesome! I hope they provide shipping to my country!

Thanks sam. Looks like a great tool for us low vision people. I would like to see it's OCR capability demonstrated.

Definitely make a video on the software!!
