## What is VisionBuddy Connect?

VisionBuddy Connect

Read your mail. See what's around you. Keep your independence.

VisionBuddy is built for people living with low vision — a practical, everyday tool for reading text, understanding your surroundings, and moving through the world with more confidence.

WORKS ON YOUR IPHONE

Magnification — Hold your phone over a page, a label or a menu and zoom in up to 8×. Tap to freeze the image and read at your own pace. Turn on the light when you need it.

Read Text Aloud — Point, hold, release. VisionBuddy reads printed text out loud — mail, menus, labels, signage — and shows it on screen in large type.

Describe My Surroundings — Hear a plain-language description of the scene in front of you.

WITH A VISIONBUDDY HEADSET

Home WiFi Setup — Get your headset online in minutes, straight from your phone over Bluetooth. No separate setup device, no technical steps.

Color Adjustment — Tune brightness, contrast, warmth and saturation, or switch between saved presets, to find the view that suits your eyes in any room.

Activity Log — A plain record of what your headset has been doing, ready to share with support if you ever need help.

Spoken prompts and distinct audio cues guide you throughout, so you always know what the app is doing without watching the screen.

ABOUT THE HEADSET

Magnification, text reading and scene description work on your iPhone on their own. Home WiFi setup, colour adjustment and headset updates require a paired VisionBuddy headset.

VisionBuddy headsets are available directly from us or through our authorized dealer network. Visit visionbuddy.com to find a dealer, talk to us, or learn more.
