Product Reviews and Guides

IrisVision's New Addition, Inspire

Steven Kelley

IrisVision's Inspire includes a wide variety of modes for viewing. The Bioptic, Bubble, and RP modes are for a specific group of low vision users, who will find them uniquely designed for their needs. Overall, the image quality on the Inspire headset is quite good, thanks perhaps to the processing power in the Galaxy S21 that drives the device.

Ooma phone—a mostly accessible and nearly free option for your home landline phone

Bill Holton

With the notable exception of call forwarding, nearly all of the essential telephone features are as easy to use and access with my Ooma phone as they ever were with my old landline. Even considering the hardware limitations I will be keeping my Ooma phone, and the savings will pay for the hardware in a few short months.
