3. Using the Compact 6 HD Speech text-to-speech and
OCR
If you own a Compact 6 HD Speech, taking a snapshot activates the Speech
functionality. The Compact 6 HD Speech will extract the text from the image and
will read the text aloud.
Activating the speech
To take a snapshot and activate the Speech:
 Position the text or part of the text in the camera view and press the snapshot button. 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 text in view gets
too small, the recognition will lose accuracy and might fail.
 A progress bar will be shown. The Compact 6 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.
 Tap the "Mode" button to display the text in high contrast colors. The text will be formatted
in a column to fit the width of the screen. In the high contrast view, pictures will not be
shown. Press the "Mode" button to switch between the various high contrast options and
full color mode. In the full color mode pictures will be shown as well as the original layout of
the text.
