Patriot Voice EZ Scanner Reader
$2,595.00
The Patriot Voice EZ is a stand-alone reader that takes a picture of a printed page and reads it aloud, so you can listen to your mail, newspapers, or magazines. You set the page in the stand and press the camera button. Big rotary dials let you pause, resume, and skip back or forward, and they also change the voice, reading speed, volume, and language (English or Spanish). It weighs 6 pounds and measures 16" tall by 13" wide by 11" deep, so you can carry it from room to room, but it is a full-size appliance rather than a pocket device.

WayAround Kitchen Starter Pack
$229.95
This kit gives you 200 small tags for labeling things around the kitchen, so someone who can't read packaging or labels can identify pantry, cupboard, and refrigerator items. You stick or clip a tag on an item, record or type a label in the free WayAround app, then hold your phone over the tag later to see or hear what it says. The pack mixes 50 stickers, 50 magnets, and 50 clips with 25 on-metal stickers and 25 on-metal clips. The on-metal tags matter, because the regular round ones won't work on metal cans or surfaces. Spoken labels depend on VoiceOver or TalkBack being turned on, and the tags themselves do nothing without the app.

WayAround Starter Pack
$74.95
The WayAround Starter Pack is a sampler of 60 physical tags that you stick, clip, or button onto everyday items, then label through a free phone app. To identify an item later, you hold your phone over it, and the label you typed or recorded shows up or is read aloud with VoiceOver or TalkBack. It's a good fit for someone who wants to tell apart clothing, food, medicines, or files without sight or memory cues, and it lets you test the different tag styles before buying more of one kind. Square tags are the ones that work on metal objects, while round shapes won't work on metal, so match the tag to the surface.

WayAround Laundry Starter Pack
$48.95
This pack gives you what you need to tag your clothing so you can identify each piece by scanning it with your phone. It includes 25 two-hole WayTag buttons, six self-threading needles in assorted sizes, invisible thread that won't melt in the dryer, and a cork to help with threading. You sew a button onto a garment, label it in the free WayAround app by typing or recording a message (washing instructions, for example), and then hold your phone over the tag to hear or read the details. It works with VoiceOver on iPhone and TalkBack on Android, so the information can be spoken aloud. It's meant for someone who can't easily tell clothes apart by sight. You'll need a smartphone, and you do have to sew each button on yourself.
