world’s first cloud-based scanning solution, will 
be demonstrated together at the 2011

recognition to convert the printed page to text. 
This self-voicing application requires no special 
drivers and can read printed pages as well as 
many types of PDF files, including those 
containing text or those containing only images. 
The entire camera and software package is affordably priced below $800 USD.

“In today’s mobile business environment, users 
demand immediacy, portability and global 
accessibility,” said Ji Shen, Chairman and CEO, 
Pathway Innovations and Technology, Inc., “By 
teaming with Serotek’s DocuScan Plus technology, 
the HoverCam can deliver all three.”

“While DocuScan Plus was originally designed for 
the reading impaired, such as those who are 
blind, have low vision or are dyslexic, it also 
has mass appeal,” said Serotek CEO, Mike Calvo, 
“The size and simplicity of the HoverCam Mini 
broadens the mobility as well as the reach and 
appeal of this total scanning solution.”
