Scanning and Reading Printed Material

This section provides directions for Scanning and Reading documents via the text and

voice mode. If you prefer to read using a refreshable Braille display, please refer to

Appendix C in this manual for information and instructions.

Scanning and Reading without a Braille Display:

Turn on the Ace Plus device by pressing the power button. You will hear a series of

beeps followed by the announcement: “Main Menu: Scan and Read.” Press the Action

button to choose the Scan and Read option.

Position your document as described above.

Press the Scan Button once – you will hear a shutter sound. The Ace Plus will start

reading the text almost immediately after that.

Do not press any other buttons when doing the Scan and Read operation, as it will

interrupt the scanning/reading process.

Reading modes

The scanned material may be read in:

 Voice Mode: convenient for having the text read aloud - the default choice

 Text Mode: convenient for reading text on the screen quietly without hearing the

voice output.

The Scan and Read modes can be changed under the Settings menu item of the Main

Menu. In order to change the Scan and Read mode, press the Home Button to go the

Main Menu. Use the Right Roller to scroll down to the Settings menu option and

choose this option by pressing the Action Button. Next, use the Right Roller to scroll

down to the General Settings, and press the Action Button to select this option.

Then, use the Right Roller to scroll down to the Reading Mode, and press the Action

Button to select this option. Then, use the Right Roller to scroll down to the desired

option (Voice Mode or Text Mode), and press the Action Button one final time to set

the selection.

Voice Mode

The Voice Mode is the default mode.

Use this mode when you want the Ace Plus to read the text aloud. The Ace Plus will

automatically start reading a few seconds after the Scan Button is pressed. To

pause/resume the reading, press the Action Button. Captured text will be formatted and
