I have seen a device today called an eBot which is an interesting option.  http://hims-inc.com/products/e-bot-ipad-compatible-portable-video-magnifier/.  And I thought this product was really exciting, if all you need is OCR and not anything visual:  http://hims-inc.com/products/blaze-ez-daisy-multi-player-with-ocr/.

Hopefully, there is someone out here that is familiar with this product. I am trying to figure out if it would be better to just use open book at home or does this little device really work. I want to be able to read documents while in class vs having to wait to get home and convert the document.
