This might be your solution. It was fast and the price plus the portability
might be your idea choice. The Pearl is no bigger than a desk lamp very
streamline would need to sit on top of a desk or other surface as for the
height extension of the device it's self. A flat bed scanner with a lid
needs a certain clearance to use as well anyways, but not portable as in
this device. If that didn't suit your needs, then go for the NFB reader for
your cell which does a pretty good job of scanning too, that doesn't get any
more portable..
You can get that, as well as color identifier, Mobil speaks on a phone for
$1200.

I'm debating about ordering the camera for now because the 600 price ends
july 15. My current system uses a regular flatbed scanner and I would like
something with more speed.
scanning books with a flatbed works but takes forever.

I asked Eric bout that, he said xp still works and that's what he had on a
laptop there with the Pearl. It's totally portable really folds up nicely
and they give a very nice leather padded case to carry it in, it uses
elegance and Open Book 9. He said the upgrade from 8 to 9 would cost
without
an SMA $150. The SMA only applies to OB not Jaws.
But it uses the same kieys to scan as I use now. It makes that sound like
a
camera flash then reads it back rather quickly..

Good morning,
thank you for the information. Do you happen to know what operating
system
was on the computer?
also does jaws need to be running to make openbook speak?

I was over at the NFB yesterday and none other than Eric Damary gave me a
demo of the Pearl and it was nice indeed for $600 with OB 9. the Pearl is
totally portable folds down into a nice case. The reading quality was
very
clear and concise.
The Pearl looks sort of like what the old goose lamps look like if you
happen to remember what those looked like, but not as fat.
I didn't see or use the other model..

Good morning listers,
Has anyone out there compared the pearl / openbook and eye-pal systems.
Both are camera based and portable solutions for reading. I would like
to
know if people have a preference and both good and bad qualities of
these
systems.
thanks
