<DIV>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.</DIV>

<DIV>So, it doesn’t work independently? You have to hook it up to a
computer in order to get it to work?</DIV>

<DIV>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?</DIV>

<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>
