Pearl OCR Camera
Product Description
Supplier: Freedom Scientific
The very portable Pearl camera takes a snapshot of your document and the accompanying OpenBook 9 software (available separately) converts it into speech and enlarged text.
Automatic page capture
In automatic mode, the PEARL senses motion and knows to snap an image whenever you turn a page. Place your paperback novel sideways, and the PEARL will snap two pages at a time and maintain the pagination. For larger books, you can capture even pages first. Flip the book over to capture the odd pages. You can keep turning pages and capturing images while OpenBook reads.
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 foreign language documents with native speaker voices.
Use the PEARL to show a live video image on your PC to fill out forms. Snap a picture to show the enlarged image on your PC, 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.
Reformat text for easier reading
Once your page has been captured, you have multiple options for viewing the information. You can display the text so that it wraps on the screen, enlarge the font, change the font style, and change the foreground and background colours. Have the individual words spotlighted as they are spoken.
