6- The Optical Character Recognition will then read out loud your document, turning it around by itself if it
is upside down. The processing usually lasts less than 5 seconds. If nothing happens after 10 seconds, go
back to the previous screen by pressing the Back key and take another picture.
To maximize the quality of the OCR, there are three main guidelines to follow:
- The optical parts of the camera being very light sensitive, it is important to have enough light on
your page and not too much shadow (flash can be used by pressing 1 to overcome this difficulty).
- For the picture to be clear, it is essential that you stay very stable while taking it.
- And last, to scan an A4 document it sometimes is easier to do the OCR in two times: first the top of
the page then the bottom.
Once you have scanned a document, you have the possibility to save the recognised text, the picture
corresponding to the text or both. To do so, press the Menu key from the reading screen and select the
preferred option.
Please note that the recognised text will be save as a note accessible in the Note application ("5- Utilities"
then "5- Note").
The picture will be saved in the Photo Gallery and you will be able to retrieve it from the memory of your
phone in folder DCIM, subfolder OCR.
You can also decide to read documents in different languages with the OCR application. To do so, just press
the Menu key when OCR is ready and select the scanning language between German, French, English,
Spanish, Italian or Dutch.

Identify a colour of your environment using the Colour application.
To start the Colour application from the Home screen, use "4-Vision aids" then select "2- Colour".
To identify a colour, you just have to point the phone's camera towards a surface about 5 to 10 cm away,
and the app will tell you what colour it is. You can either wait for the application to say the colour by itself
or force it by tapping anywhere on the screen with a finger.
You can activate or deactivate the flash by pressing OK if the environment isn't bright enough.
Very dark or light colours are more difficult to identify for the Colour application for now.

Check the light intensity using the Light Sensor Application
The light sensor application makes a more or less high sound depending on the intensity of the light
detected by the camera sensor. You can use this information to know whether the light is on or off in a
room as well as to identify the light sources or openings (doors, windows).
It is also possible to use this application to know whether you switch on or switch off the lights when
manipulating a switch. To do so, press the Menu key to stop the sound, and just before auctioning the
switch press OK to record the current light intensity as a benchmark. Shortly after that, a light vibration of
the phone indicates that you can activate the switch. The application will then tell you if the light was just
switched on or off.
