Could this be a CCTV that you are talking about? I have never used one,
but I remember it being talked about way back when I was in rehab. It is
an actual television camera that takes pictures of the book and displays
the image on a television screen. They are for low vision people. The
television screen can be adjusted to make the image of the words larger
or to increase the contrast and perhaps other things to make it readable.

Hi Cindy,
I guess I???m not too helpful as I am unfamiliar with either of
those two video camerelse and as. Perhaps someone else is and can
add their input. Good to hear from you.

Hi Cindy,
I???m not sure I???d purchase it; there is no guarantee as to
what the format would look like or whether you could save
successfully to .rtf, the file format Bookshare requires when
submitting our books. By any chance, do you know its name?
Thanks in advance.
