I've learned from this list today that it can work with the updated Convenient OCR feature of JAWS 2018, so no, a scanner isn't required. In effect, it is a scanner.

I suppose portable means you can shift it around your desk, but that's a more limited definition than I have in my head, which is something like "carryable," as in take it on trips out. But thanks for clarifying. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Steve Sent: Saturday, December 16, 2017 1:37 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] VFO's Pearl Camera offer Um, you can't take a photo with the Perl camera if you're away from your Pc. The Perl connects via a USB cable that is about 36 inches long. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adrian Spratt" <adr...@adrianspratt.com> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Saturday, December 16, 2017 9:27 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] VFO's Pearl Camera offer > JAWS 2018 purchasers are being offered a deal on VFO's Pearl Camera.
