READING AND SAVING TEXT

Please follow the instructions in this chapter in order to get the best results from your C-Pen. Take a few minutes to learn how to use C-Pen correctly. See also Optimal Read- ing Conditions p. 8.

In this User's Guide “read text” should be interpreted as reading a line of text, not a line on C-Pen’s display.

Reading Text

To read a line, follow the steps below.

1.Turn C-Pen on. Make sure the text settings are set to the appropriate values. The text settings are Text Language, Read Mode and Text Quality. It is also possible to calibrate C-Pen for best performance. See Settings, p. 54.

2.Place C-Pen over the first character you want to read. Hold C-Pen with the pen tip flat against the surface. Make sure that the camera opening covers the entire height of the line. C-Pen reads one line at a time.

3. Press and hold Trigg.
