And if you have a question about a feature, BookCourier's built-in talking help and talking user guide are immediately at your service.

Powered by 2 AA batteries, BookCourier uses CompactFlash® storage for files (from 8MB to 1 GB). The device also has a plug-and-play USB connection for transferring files from the PC using the supplied PC software.

Finally, BookCourier is shipped with headphones and a pocket clip.

Mac. Using a variety of popular scanners or a HoverCam document camera in conjunction

with DocuScan Plus, you can convert printed materials and PDF files into text and

The HoverCam T5-V was engineered with the visually impaired user in mind.

The T5-V has the same retractability, portability, and high resolution 5 megapixel lens as the T5. The T5V, however, comes with some special adjustments and patent pending accessories for

visually impaired users.

Raised dots on the body of the device help visually impaired users find the latch for easy raising and lowering of the camera.

The focus of the lens is fixed to ensure acquisition of a clear picture at fully extended camera position and even within a 6" retractable range.

The depth of field of this camera accommodates un even surfaces making it an adaptive device for visually impaired customers to use anytime anywhere.

Included with the document camera is a Braille enabled positioning mat, making it easier for the user to position the camera and the document.

A special Anchoring Bumper uses pattern recognition technology to easily calibrate the position of the document under the camera. It will automatically achieve straightening and/or cropping.

The HoverCam Flex software comes with a preliminary Tesseract 3.0 OCR implementation but a TWAIN driver allows the user to use other, more robust software with the device.

Please note, if using with the Serotek Docuscan Plus software, or your own scanning software, then you don't need to install the Flex software.
