You are very right on this fact.  It would make sense if it were like  a 
cctv camera.  I have a clarity camera that connects to the laptop that  needs 
a usb connections.  Thanks for making a good point.

Echoing Joyce’s comments, it is not a standalone and yes,  you would need a 
laptop to hook the camera up to it via USB.

So, it doesn’t work independently?  You have to hook it up to a  computer 
in order to get it to work?
 
I thought you could take the camera and be at a seminar and be able to  
click any documents handed out and it would read it back.  If I  understand you 
now, I would need to also have my laptop?

Suzanne! 
I went to a demonstration of the Pearl camera last fall and  at that time, 
Freedom Scientific had a deal going on where the camera was $600  and the 
upgrade to Open Book 9, if you didn’t have that version installed  already, 
was $150.  I took advantage of that deal and I have to say that  the Pearl 
working with Open Book 9 has very rapid scanning, and the time  between 
scanning and reading aloud is within seconds.  Of course, like  all scanners, 
sometimes it reads gibberish, and that depends on the  print.  I don’t know if FS 
is doing another deal, but it pays for anyone  just to see it demonstrated. 
 I know you can’t make the demonstration,  but I would encourage any one of 
you on this list to just see how it  works.  The camera is the scanner and 
it’s portable, connecting to any  computer via a USB cable attached to it.
