I have to make more mileage to be better informed about the battery time. But you can use these as normal glasses because of the weight of them and the possibility to have a glasscorrection fitted. And the battery last the whole day as you don’t use it continuesly in a heavy mode
I compare it to my Sphere’s hearing aids which also want last the whole day if I would only use the Spheric mode. Today I used about two hours of navigation without running out of batteries.
In normal usage you look upwards to get information you handle by your phone or just pass, look at a few notes, make a conversation, read a note or get a pop-up message.
You can have hours of transcription but the negative is as I said you cannot use it in to much noise, just for conversation to someone next or in front of you.
Compare it to your phone google translate. You don’t have to talk slowly, but clearly. (I used to dictate since round 2000 in speech recognition programs and they are still getting better). But there is a small lag in showing the text also comparable to google or transcription software. And it also does not work if the speaker is to far away or it is to noisy also comparable to the phone apps you can use these days.
But in case of the glasses you don’t have to put your phone on the table or hold it in your hands and point it to someone. The microphones used are between your ears and eyes so in optimal position. And the speech is projected transparent in front of you in your glasses where you look at the person you are talking to. I used a microphone in front of my mouth in former years to do my dictation- work but the glasses have good enough microphones themselves.
So at the moment it can not do better or faster! But it does it more comfortable. And in case you use it in a restaurant you have to be close enough to the person you’re talking to as in real life too.
You cannot use an external microphone at the moment. And I hope they soon develop the possibility to grab the improved speech determination of the hearing aids in the future as it will do much better of course for the speech recognition. Requests for such an improvement I send already to the developers. But would be happy if others do so also. They’ll need the customers to ask for future improvement. And I believe it would make many of us very happy.
