TL;DR: you now need to pay a $20/month “meta premium” subscription to use a 100% offline feature that runs on your own malware-ridden smartglasses.
If you don’t subscribe, you can use the feature that is already included in the hardware that you already paid for 3 hours each month
The now-paywalled feature boosts the voice of the speaker in front of you, something that even low-end ANC earphones are doing now. 5 minutes of free usage per day is basically nothing.
I’d really like to try these, to see if they could help with visual impairment, but between the social stigma, and Facebook spyware, I’m reluctant.
Depending on your visual impairment they may not help at all. For instance there are zero models that come with an astigmatism correction strong enough for me to use them.
