click any documents handed out and it would read it back. If I understand

<P class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></P>
