Chapter 1. Setting Up the Reader
About the Reader
®
The Intel
Reader combines a high resolution camera with text-to-speech software,
to convert printed text to digital text and then play it aloud to you. You can use it to
convert a variety of printed materials, including books, magazines, and mail. As the
text plays, the Reader's display screen highlights the spoken words. The Reader
also provides audio announcements and visual displays to help you know where
you are in an e-Book, and to navigate through audio and text e-Books.
The Reader can generate audio versions of printed materials, which can be played
on most digital music players or computers. The Reader is compact enough to
take with you wherever you go, and discreet enough to use anywhere, anytime.
TIP: The CD that comes with the Reader contains this Reader User Manual
and the Quick Start Guide in PDF format and in audio and digital talking book
versions. You can also hear the manual and quick start guide on the Reader by
accessing the Help menu.
IMPORTANT: For complete safety information and warnings, refer to the safety
and warranty booklet that comes with your Reader.
