Instruction for Use - Continued
Step S
ix
- The
controls
are as follows:
Left knob
-
allows you to take a picture of your document to read aloud
by
pressing the knob in
. This is especially useful when
reading a book by
allowing you to simply turn the page and
then
push
this
knob
in
to
have
the
next
page
read out loud
.
Turning this left knob will change the reading speed.
Turning counterclockwise will decrease the reading speed and turning
clockwise will increase the reading speed.
Center knob
-
Press in the middle knob to pause or resume reading. You can
turn the same middle knob in the clockwise direction to advance forward
reading and turn the knob in the counter clockwise direction to rewind.
Right knob
-
Press in the right knob to hear the spelling of the current word
that it is reading out loud. Turn the right knob to increase or decrease the
volume.
Note: When
changing speed, volume, or when rewinding or fast forwarding,
the Patriot will be paused afterwards. You will need to push in the middle
knob to resume reading.
Pressing in the two left knobs at the same time will change the voice of the
spoken content. There are two english voices and two spanish voices. The
two
english voices will only read english print and the two spanish voices will
only rea
d
spanish print. The Patriot does not translate
or read handwriting.
Pressing in the two right knobs at the same time will change the Patriot to
document mode or table mode. The document mode is the preset default
mode. It would be the proper setting to use to read down one column of text
and then go to the next, such as how to properly read a newspaper. Table
mode is better for
read
ing financial statements. For example,
you would hear"ATM deposit", and then hear the dollar amount. Instead of
hearing all of the places of transaction occurrences and then hearing all of the
dollar amounts, which is how the default document mode would read, and not
always ideal.
