PEARL is shipping!!!

(Posted: Jul 5, 2010)

PEARL connected to a laptop

Bringing Portability to Scanning and Reading

The PEARL brings blind and low vision users instant portable access to printed material with an array of human-sounding voices. The folding camera deploys in seconds to connect to your PC and snap a picture of your reading material.

Lightning Fast OCR

The PEARL expands the features of OpenBook 9.0 to provide instant OCR. Press a keystroke to snap a picture, and hear your book read back to you with Eloquence or one of the human-sounding voices from RealSpeak Solo Direct. You control the reading rate and voice.

Read All Kinds of Documents

Use the PEARL to read books, newspapers, magazines, and bills. OpenBook identifies columns and places them in logical reading order. Change the language setting to read other languages with native speaker voices.

Use as a video magnifier

Use the PEARL to show a live video image on your PC. Magnify your document and navigate with the virtual XY table from the keyboard. The PEARL works in most room lighting. If the room is dark, simply turn on the built-in LED lighting. You can even write under the camera in a magnified view.

More PEARL features

  • Scans 20 pages per minute while reading
  • Write under the camera in magnified view
  • Add comments and highlighting
  • Export to other applications like Word or Notepad

Take it with You Anywhere

PEAR folded up

The PEARL sets up in seconds to provide a stable platform for the camera with alignment features to ensure you capture a good image every time. It runs off a single USB port - no battery or external power supply required. The PEARL folds into a compact 14x3x2 1/8 inch package and zips into its protective neoprene case - slip it into a bookbag or briefcase.

Until October 30, the PEARL camera is available at a significant discount for $689! Please call us for more details.
Requires OpenBook 9.
