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 Text.
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, above the text you wish to
capture. The camera lens is on the bottom edge of the Reader, so the bottom edge
of the Reader should be pointed at the text.
