Chapter 3. Getting Started
Introduction
This chapter provides a step-by-step tutorial on capturing text images and playing
them back. Before reading the following topics, be sure you are familiar with the
buttons and other features of the Reader. If necessary, refer to
Chapter
2, Parts of
the Reader, for additional information as you work.
Point, Shoot, Listen
Typically, you will use the Reader to capture images of text and play the text back to
you. This section is designed to help you with those basic tasks. For more detailed
information about capturing text, refer to
Chapter 5, Capturing and Playing Files.
Point
Press the Shoot button or select Shoot Mode from the Home menu. Both actions
place the Reader in Shoot mode. If you have the menu reading option turned on,
the Reader announces, "Shoot mode. "
Hold the Reader with the display screen facing you, at about nose level, above the
text you wish to capture. Do not pull the Reader toward you. The camera lens is
on the bottom edge of the Reader, so the bottom edge of the Reader should be
pointed at the text.
For best results, hold the Reader so that the entire one- or two-page text fills the
display screen. Adjust the position of the Reader until you can see all the text on
the display screen.
