Meta Smart glasses and documents

I have been looking through the Meta Smart Glasses posts. I am not seeing how well, or if at all, the Meta glasses with the associated IOS apps work on reading documents like hard-copy letters or paper instructions, etc. Anyone with experience on reading documents?

You can get them to read a bit if you command them "Look and read this out loud." They prefer to summarize instead of reading verbatim and even this command doesn't always get them to read fully. So its useful but not exactly the equivalent of document scanning.

I just had Be my Eyes read a document with their AI function. It seems that if the Meta Glasses could not only work with the human interface, but the AI portion of Be My Eyes, then there may be an enhanced capability for reading documents as well as the other AI capabilities it has. Hopefully that would be an addition to the function of the glasses.
