To open the Camera Arm simply press the Camera Arm Release button (Page 7 Item 5), the

any circumstance.

Stand-Alone Reader: Operation without Display

• On power up, if no Monitor is detected, the Smart Reader will default to this mode. The only

user input to the device is the Smart Reader Control Console. After scanning a book or

document with [Capture] , OCR results are played back as speech through the front

speakers in the base of the unit.

• You can plug in Headphones which will automatically mute the speakers. Speech volume can

be controlled using the [Volume Up/Down Wheel] on the Control Console while in

OCR read back mode.

Using the OCR

Smart Reader 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 Smart Reader Control

Console is plugged in. When you are ready to use your OCR for the first time follow the steps

below:

1. Place the document under the Smart Reader camera (At first you may find it easier to

position your materials when Smart Reader is hooked to a monitor display, you can use

the base of the Smart Reader as a guide). Smart Reader supports multiple orientations

for documents when they are scanned as long as it is viewable under the Camera Arm.

2. Press the [Capture] button on the Control Console.

a. You will hear a series of system tones while Smart Reader prepares to take a

picture.

b. This will take a snapshot of the document and process it for OCR.

3. After the Smart Reader 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.

4. To exit OCR/Text-to-speech Mode, press the [Capture] button on the Smart Reader

Control Console.

5. This will return you to live camera mode and you are now ready to scan another

document.

6. Now that you have completed your first scan you may want to change some of your

settings. (See Next Page)
