If you check the HoverCam website you can buy the T5V for $319.99 I do believe! So although you think the actual program is lightly prices they are jerking the extra $180 bucks out of you for the camera!

Ashley, I'd like to see the ability to scan/store locally as well as the cloud perhaps; however, I concur with your comments. I thought it was possible to scan/store locally, but I guess all the OCR occurs in the cloud and that presents some issues for me. A really neat idea though.
