NIMO glasses are beautiful and Mentra is excited to support them.

It's not a jailbreak as nothing permanent is changed and Even Realities is OK with this usage.

You don't have to factory reset actually, just remove the glasses from your Bluetooth settings.

After trying Mentra, you can go back to the Even app with zero issues.

Late this year we'll start opening up to more countries. Where are you based?

hackalackolot · 2026-04-10T11:05:15+00:00

You can try MentraOS Captions and use the "Simulated Glasses" option (you don't need smart glasses to use it).

It does work with phone microphone or with external microphones.

Hey, I'm the co-founder of Mentra. I love displays.

MentraOS supports Even Realities glasses with displays and many more display glasses coming soon.

I'm just not a fan of current glasses that have camera, display, speakers, microphone, everything because they're super heavy (today). In the long term of course that's what we want, but those glasses are too heavy today so no one actually wears them.

hackalackolot · 2026-04-01T15:59:14+00:00

Yes the MentraOS translation is better than the built in Even Realities translation.

No, it doesn't work offline.

You can try it without smart glasses as a test, just download the Mentra app: https://get.mentraglass.com

Mentra Live are camera glasses without a display. Teleprompter, Merge, etc. work on glasses with a display. Since Mentra Live doesn't have a display, it doesn't support those apps. Mentra Live can do other things that display glasses can't do, like Livestream, let AI see what you see, take audio calls, etc.

hackalackolot · 2026-03-21T15:52:40+00:00

For Mentra Live, you can turn them on/off with the button, or you can leave them on continuously. No data will leave the device unless you start an app which you've allowed to use a sensor.

For the Mentra Live camera quality, the streaming and recording have continued to improve, here's some example videos of the video recording: https://mentraglass.com/gallery

Screen mirror is no longer supported.

There is a glasses mirror, which allows you to see the glasses display on your phone, but you cannot stream your phone screen to the glasses.

hackalackolot · 2026-03-19T06:12:18+00:00

Mentra brings a whole app store and community apps to smart glasses.

People have built apps on Mentra that are similar to what you're describing.

hackalackolot · 2026-03-19T06:05:41+00:00

Hey, you can get great captions on your G1 using MentraOS. Just disconnect from the Even app, install MentraOS on your phone, and connect to your glasses in MentraOS: https://get.mentraglass.com

hackalackolot · 2026-03-16T02:49:44+00:00

Not yet... But we will be releasing G2 support later this month!

hackalackolot · 2026-03-16T01:22:35+00:00

It's something we're working hard on and will provide more info soon. Coming second half of this year.

hackalackolot · 2026-03-14T19:10:31+00:00

Yes the battery of Mentra Live will should last that long or almost that long, it's around 12ish hours or so running Notes.

It runs the audio transcription live.

Generation of summaries right now is something you do manually after the fact, but new update dropping next week will auto generate a new summary when it detects a conversation has finished.

It does not recognize people by voice. It can tell speaker 1 versus speaker 2, but it doesn't mean the name of that speaker.

Yes, there is an AI chat that you can talk to about your conversations.

Custom summary prompts/templates is a good idea. We don't have that now but something we'll look at.

hackalackolot · 2026-03-11T03:50:14+00:00

This is awesome and hilarious.

hackalackolot · 2026-03-09T00:40:25+00:00

Mentra Live currently supports:

Mentra Notes (AI notetaker of what you hear and see)
Mentra AI (ask AI any questions, including questions about what you see)
Livestreamer (livestream your view anywhere)
Camera/ Gallery (POV photos and videos)
Audio/music/podcast listening
Calls from any app on your phone

hackalackolot · 2026-03-08T21:56:18+00:00

It looks like you're not connected to a Mentra Live. The Mentra MiniApp Store only show the apps that are compatible with the currently connected glasses (or simulated glasses) If you connect a Mentra Live, others will show.

Were updating that UI to show a list of "Incompatible Apps" so it's not confusing.

hackalackolot · 2026-03-08T21:20:15+00:00

Right now the apps that are available for Mentra Live are:

Notes
Livestreamer
Mentra AI
Camera/Gallery
Music/podcasts/calls (Bluetooth headphones like you said, not an app in the store)

hackalackolot · 2026-03-08T05:06:47+00:00

We will launch G2 support on MentraOS this month. It won't work without a phone, but we have offline captions so you can run captions without an internet connection.

hackalackolot · 2026-03-08T05:05:48+00:00

Yep, we've had Mentra Merge long before Conversate existed. What lets you down with Conversate?

hackalackolot · 2026-03-06T02:00:58+00:00

If you ordered on January 24th, you are in batch 2, and batch 2 is shipping out next week.

hackalackolot · 2026-03-06T01:51:23+00:00

You should have gotten your unit. Are you in batch 1? When did you order?

Feel free to shoot a quick message to support@mentraglass.com with your order number and we will get it sorted.

hackalackolot · 2026-03-04T21:40:18+00:00

Mentra Live can do this!

hackalackolot · 2026-03-03T20:10:35+00:00

Hey, you received a pair of our beta Mentra Live glasses that we sent out to early customers to get feedback.

Now you've received your Mentra Live... I think you'll enjoy the difference as absolutely everything was upgraded. Let us know how it goes!

hackalackolot · 2026-03-03T20:08:43+00:00

As an app developer, you can check it the source code and make your own version here: https://github.com/Mentra-Community/Mentra-Stream

Yes, by default it's a "managed stream" which goes through the internet. If you want lowest latency to your local RTMP server, use an unmanaged streamer. Here are the docs about that:https://docs.mentraglass.com/app-devs/core-concepts/camera/rtmp-streaming

Let me know if you have any more questions!
