There are two models; a stand alone model and a model that is based on a digital camera attached to your computer and the EyePal software in your Windows or Apple computer.

I thought it was one 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? ----- Original Message ----- From: Kawal Gucukoglu To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2012 4:41 PM Subject: Re: A Question Regarding OCR Can you run the IPal independently of the Mac and if you want to put anything on the mac afterwards what do you do?

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.

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.

Taylor Sent: Tuesday, 3 April 2012 8:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: A Question Regarding OCR 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 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
