Hi Mark, The Pearl will only work with OpenBOok 9.0 and will only work under windows.
The two options that work with the Mac are the hoverCam with DocuScan Plus from Serotek and the EyePal. Personally I like the Pearl and OpenBOok as the accuracy is fantastic from everything I've scanned. Cheers.

To put it simply, I am stunned with the OCR performance in both OpenBook and the accuracy of the camera along with the dazzling speed of the image acquisition experience. I think what blows my mind the most is the motion detection that allows one to turn pages and when the new page is in view of the camera, it automatically takes a photo and begins the OCR process. I swear it feels as though I have a sighted person reading for me. I could go on and on but ... I realize that the pearl has been out for quite some time and am wondering if anyone knows if it will work with anything on the Mac. I know one thing for sure, with the Pearl in my toolbox, I have put my scanner away for good. Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
