use the macro lens when zooming in on distant objects they will appear blurry

and hard to see.

Do you want Zoom-Ex to talk to you?

When you start Zoom-Ex for the first time, it will work according to the default settings.

One of the customizable features is Speech Output. By default, Zoom-Ex will read text

and tell you when the camera is on or off, or if your document is placed as portrait or

landscape, etc. If you do not want Zoom-Ex to talk to you, go to Applications and down

to Settings.

In Speech Output, uncheck Status (Zoom-Ex will not inform you about the camera)

and/or uncheck Menus and dialogs (it will not read menus and dialogs). Click OK.

(See image below)

To speak the current control – press Shift.

Note: Our application speaks menu bars and dialogs just like the program JAWS, so

there is really no need to run JAWS while using Zoom-Ex.

Having your Document Read to You

To read from the beginning of the page

Place the page under the camera, click the space bar to turn the camera on, and press

the E key. The Zoom-Ex will read aloud in a few seconds. To stop or pause the voice,

press the Control key. To resume the voice, press the X key. To hear and see the text

being read, press F2 (F) to change to the Text Formatted Mode.

You can also start reading, by going to Voice on the tab menu and down to Speak

Entire Page.

Page description

A page may have text, pictures, graphics, etc. We define sections as page elements or

parts of the page that can be easily visually separated from the rest of the page. For

example, if the page is a newspaper, than each column will be a section. If the page

has a picture in the middle of the page, then the text above the picture is the first

section and the text below the picture is the second section.

The key combination Shift + E will describe the page layout. It will tell:

- the number of words on the page

- the number of sections on the page

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 ... 35 36
