4. Using the Compact 10 HD Speech's Text-to-Speech &
OCR
If you own a Compact 10 HD Speech, you can take a Text-to-Speech
snapshot. The Compact 10 HD Speech will extract the text from the
image and will read the text aloud.
Activating the speech
To take a Text-to-Speech snapshot and activate the Speech:
 Position the text or part of the text in the camera view and press the Text-to-Speech
snapshot button. When taking a Text-to-Speech snapshot of a full page, use the full-page
camera and make sure you align the bottom left corner of the document with the blue
indicator at the right side of the stand of the Compact 10 HD Speech. For an optimal result,
make sure there is enough light in the environment, prevent shadows and limit the text to
only the part of the document you would like to read. If the font you are scanning gets too
small, the recognition will lose accuracy and might fail.
 A progress bar will be shown. The Compact 10 HD Speech will start reading after the
recognition process has been finished.
 Use the Play/Pause button to start or stop reading.
 Tap and hold (long press) on the text to start reading at the word or section you point at.
 Press the "Mode" button to view the captured text in your selected viewing mode and cycle
through the selected high contrast colors of this viewing mode. Please refer to chapter 5.2,
