Hello Kenneth, I am going to start a new thread as this is not really about the glasses.
I will call the thread, Scanning Stand Recommendation.

Having alternatives are great when technology fails from time to time.

Weirdly enough, they fatigued my eyes. I am extremely low vision, got the transition lenses, but think if I had to do it over again, I'd get the straight up sunglasses. Just throwing that in there for whatever it's worth, but, to keep it more relevant to the list, the Meta View app on iOS is extremely accessible. The glasses are very easy to set up. Joe -- Joe Orozco: Your Message, My Mission https://joeorozco.com/services/ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> <mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Brandon Olivares Sent: Monday, September 29, 2025 12:34 AM To: VIPhone <mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]> Subject: One Thing the Meta Glasses Are Great For I know this isn’t exactly iPhone-related but I’m not sure where else to post this, and I know there are a lot of people on the fence about the Meta glasses. I almost regreted getting them. Meta AI can hallucinate quite a bit, which can be frustrating. However I’ve discovered they’re amazing at reading the mail. I had a bit of a backlog of mail (that’s an understatement) and it was crazy how fast they could check each envelope. Usually I’d use Aira and it’d take a few seconds to line up the shot, usually they’d have to take a picture and zoom in, and only then could they tell me what the envelope was. It probably took a minute to a minute and a half per envelope. But the Meta glasses, I raised the envelope in front of the glasses, asked “Hey Meta, look and tell me who this envelope is from and to” (I’ve discovered this wording works the best for me), and in a few seconds I have exactly what I need. If I’m fast enough, I can have the next envelope in place by the time it beeps again for a follow-up question, so I can work through them rapid-fire as long as I don’t need to open one. Aira is probably still better for more detailed work where I want to make sure I’m getting complete, accurate information, but I can call them when that’s needed.
