Video 1: Vocal Commands using the Double Tap
To get the video tutorial to play, click on the video image below.
There are 2 options for using vocal commands:
1. Double tap the touch bar, wait for the long beep, then say the vocal command. After 2-3 seconds, you will hear a chime and the device will respond.
NOTE: The double tap for using vocal commands needs to be quick. When you do it correctly, you'll hear a long beep. If the taps are too slow, you'll hear the shutter sound of device taking a picture. If you find the double tap challenging, use the 'Hey OrCam' option (more details in the video below).
2. Say 'Hey OrCam' followed by the vocal command. After 2-3 seconds, you will hear a chime and the device will respond (more details in the video below).
Vocal commands using the double tap: 
- Double-tap the touch bar. You will hear a long beep.
- Say a vocal command. You will then hear a chime.
- OrCam MyEye will then perform the requested action.
