Setup with instructions The RUBY 10 works as a complete standalone device, but it has multiple cameras, a touchscreen, and (on the speech model) page scanning that take a little practice. A family member can set it up with the manufacturer's instructions in about half an hour, so guided setup fits.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The RUBY 10 is a portable video magnifier with a 10-inch touchscreen and three cameras. It enlarges print, labels, magazines, and photos on screen. A swing-out arm lets you view and write on items in your hand, and a third camera looks at things farther away, like signs or menus on a wall. On the speech model, extending the arm also allows full-page OCR (text recognition), so you can scan a page and have it read aloud. The speech feature is only on that model, so check which version you're ordering.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Unfold the swing-out arm and place a page or object under the camera to see it magnified on the touchscreen.
  • With a guide
    1. Charge or power the unit, then use the touchscreen to adjust magnification and viewing options.
    2. Practice switching between the close-up camera and the distance camera, then try writing under the arm.
    3. On the speech model, practice scanning a full page and listening to it read aloud. Plan on about 30 minutes to feel comfortable. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
