Introduction
Congratulations on your choice of a state-of-the-art
Quicktionary-II™, WizCom's hand-held, bilingual scanning
dictionary. Inside Quicktionary-II's tip is a sophisticated
electronic eye mounted above two rollers. This eye enables
you to scan in and instantaneously translate a wide range of
printed text.
With Quicktionary-II, you can scan in entire lines of text
and translate the words at the push of a button. If you have
purchased a Quicktionary-II Voice product and are scanning
in English, Quicktionary-II's powerful text-to-speech
technology reads the scanned text aloud as you are translat-
ing it. In addition, Quicktionary-II contains advanced
editing features that enable you to change the words you've
scanned in, as well as manually enter words for translation.
The Opticard on the Quicktionary-II case enables you to
quickly enter words that are inconvenient to scan.
The QuickStart guide included in the Quicktionary-II
package is designed to help you start using your
Quicktionary-II right away. The accompanying CD contains
a movie with additional tips about using Quicktionary-II.
Quicktionary-II can be upgraded, enabling you to add more
dictionaries and interface languages. Upgrading to a
QuickLink Pen™ is also possible, by adding other types of
applications and components.
