Your first OCR Scan
Merlin Elite Pro provides you with the ability to scan a document placed underneath the
camera and read it aloud. OCR/Text-to-Speech is only available when the Merlin Elite Pro
Control Console is plugged in. When you are ready to use your OCR for the first time follow
the steps below:
1. Ensure that the device is in OCR Mode by pressing the Front Panel Center Knob Button.
2. Place the document under the Merlin Elite Pro camera and position the text within the
indicated guide frame.
Please note- Merlin Elite Pro supports multiple orientations for documents when
they are scanned as long as it is viewable under the Camera Chassis.
3. Press the [Find/Enter] Button for Basic Mode or [Capture] button on the Advanced
Mode Control Console.
• You will hear a camera shutter sound which indicates the system has taken a
snapshot of the document and will begin processing it for OCR.
4. After Merlin Elite Pro has completed the processing step it will begin to read the
document aloud. You will be able to make various adjustments to your OCR Read-back
features including Volume, Color Mode, Reading Speed and more.
Please Note-If you are in Basic
or Text Modes the readback
operation begins
automatically. If you are in an
advanced control scheme and
you have selected Full Page
Picture mode it requires that
you choose your "Zone" with
our zone identifier feature and
then Press Play. Zones are
highlighted by using the Next
or Previous buttons.
5. To exit OCR/Text-to-speech Mode,
Press the [Find/Enter] Button for
Basic Mode or [Capture] button on
the Advanced Mode Control
Console.
6. This will return you to OCR camera mode and you are now ready to scan another
document.
7. Now that you have completed your first scan you may want to change some of your
settings.
