My context is that I'm an online maths tutor. Working online I sometimes need to be face-to-face and sometimes I need to present documents.
I've found a brilliant workaround to be able to do both at once: I have the main camera on the video conferencing app on me and this supplementary camera open in a new window and present that window.
The Documate software opens the camera and I can simply present the image. Magic! This is what the blurb says:
"Documate is our recommended software application to control your Inswan document camera. It provides powerful learning-enhancing features such as rotation, snapshot annotation, and video recording, allowing teachers to capture still and streaming images of 2D and 3D objects and display them on large monitors and projector screens. You can also use Documate to scan paper documents and extra text for editing through optical character recognition (OCR). "
I'd agree that the Documate software is fine for all the things they claim. There's also a whiteboard function and you can import pictures AND you can save the pictures to albums or any folder you like.
I was struggling with a supplementary web cam but it wasn't ideal. This is MUCH better. It has saved me time and gives me much more flexibility in the way I can present stuff. I am utterly delighted with the device ... and my students get a much better experience as well.
If you are teaching/tutoring/lecturing online, you'll be delighted with it as well.
