Brining Portability to Scanning and Reading
The PEARL, combined with JAWS, Fusion, or OpenBook scanning and reading software, brings blind and low vision users instant portable access to printed material with an array of human-sounding voices. The folding camera deploys in seconds to connect to your PC and snap a picture of your reading material and begins reading it aloud instantly.
Customize your Viewing:
With so many features for those with macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other causes of low vision, you can tailor the appearance of text on your screen (font style, size, character spacing, and color), view with split-screen and compare your original document and OCR conversion results, use Masking and Word Spotlighting to help you follow text as it is read, and more.
Use as a Video Magnifier
Use the PEARL to show a live video image on your PC. Magnify your document 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. You can even write under the camera in a magnified view.
PEARL Overview
In automatic mode, the PEARL senses motion, so it knows to snap an image and begin reading again whenever you turn a page. The PEARL sets up in seconds and folds into a compact 14”x 3”x 2 1/8” package, and zips into its protective neoprene case for maximum portability.
