Lightning Fast OCR

The PEARL is the ultimate in portable scanning and reading. With just one keystroke, it snaps a picture and reads to you within seconds. Weighing only two pounds, PEARL provides excellent OCR access wherever you are reading.

Automatic Page Capture

In automatic mode, the PEARL senses motion, so it knows to snap an image whenever you turn a page. Place your book sideways, and the PEARL will snap two pages at a time and maintain the pagination.
