Oh, that's the one I thought I heard of on Accessible World or somewhere, but 
didn't think one would need a stand-alone device like that.

  There's one called the EyePal solo which is made by the same company but it's 
a standalone machine.  The spec is pretty poor though and it's accessories are 
very expensive.  It's worth avoiding in my view unless you have some 
extenuating sircomstance.

of those like the GW Small Talk or OQO with a camera built in. I might be 
thinking of a different one, but if this was the same one, isn't the computer 
irrelevant besides transferring saved files?

      Can you run the IPal independently of the Mac and if you want to put 
anything on 
      the mac afterwards what do you do?

        Mark, it's too bad you hadn't looked into this before you bought the 
pearl.  I teach both eyepal and pearl, and while I like the look of the pearl 
better, the eyepal does at least as good a job with no duel booting required.


        It's just awfully tough to justify the price tag of the eyepal after 
the outlay on the pearl.

          Hello Scott,

          The Pearl with OpenBook is the most amazing thing I have ever seen 
(no pun
          intended).  

          I will use BootCamp on my Mac, then.  

          Thank you,

          Mark

          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.

          Scott

          Hello Everyone,

          In addition to being the proud owner of a Focus 40 Blue, I also 
obtained
          Freedom Scientific's Pearl camera along with OpenBook 9.0.

          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
