The exciting new features built into OpenBook make this the fastest and most accurate text recognition software available today! 

The power of OpenBook screen reading software will transform your personal computer and scanner into a fully functioning reading solution!

The new OpenBook Scan and Read Software screen reading software and the new PEARL camera are the perfect portable solution for reading and capturing images – allowing you to take a picture and begin reading in a matter of seconds.  The page guide helps you align your documents to easily capture a clear image each and every time – the built-in motion detection prevents you from taking a picture until the page is turned and perfectly positioned.

OpenBook 9 Scan and Read screen reading software features allow you to customize the appearance of the text on your screen, including font style, size, character spacing, and colors. With the Split View option, easily compare the original document and the results of OCR conversion.

The new camera View allows you to simply place a document on a scanner or under the PEARL camera and OpenBook begins to read aloud to you and display the recognized text on the screen within seconds.  This new feature will allow you to use PEARL camera as a video magnifier and easily perform tasks where you previously needed a magnified view.  You can also open any electronic file on your computer and edit what you need.  With OpenBook, you are in control of how a page is read and presented on your computer screen to you.

You can use any of the current scanners on the market or the PEARL camera from New England Low Vision and Blindness.  (Scanner not included.)
