Quick Demo: JAWS Convenient OCR with the PEARL Camera

Screen readers are great, but what if you need to read a physical document? Not to worry! if you are a JAWS user (Job Access With Speech) you already have an optical character recognition (OCR) solution built right in. In this video we take a look at the JAWS Convenient OCR feature, which allows us to use a document scanner to scan in a document and have it read aloud to us.

We also take a quick look at the PEARL camera from Freedom Scientific, a foldable document scanning camera that connects to your computer via USB, and is able to capture a 8.5x11 document no problem. The design makes it easy to align your document, while providing a handy portable solution.
