Scan and Read

This application is used to read printed text like letters, documents, books, portions of

food packages and medicine labels, including fine print. The ROL reads printed text

aloud unless a Braille display is in use. Scanned material can be saved. Instructions for

saving are given in the Managing Documents section.

Positioning a document

The ROL can scan and read a document that fits in the 8 ½ by 11-inch field directly in

front of the device on a flat surface. Using the base of the device as a guide, place the

long side of the paper so it is aligned with the length of the base. The orientation of the

document will not influence the recognition of the text.

If you are scanning a document that is smaller than the 8 ½ by 11-inch field, for best

results, place a blank sheet of 8 ½ by 11-inch paper in the scanning area and lay your

smaller document on top of that. For smaller documents, it works better to place it

toward the right side of the scan field rather than in the center of the blank page.

Scanning and Reading Printed Material

This section gives directions for Scanning and Reading documents to be read aloud. If

you prefer to read using a refreshable Braille display, please refer to Appendix C.

Scanning and Reading without a Braille Display:

Turn on the ROL with the Power Button. After the beeps, you will hear: “Main Menu:

Scan and Read.” Press the Action button to select the Scan and Read option. The

camera light will automatically turn on by default. If you are near a window with bright

sun and there is too much light, you can turn the light off by pressing the Daisy down

arrow. You will hear, “Light Off.” Press the same button again to turn the light back on

when desired.
