If the book is too thick for the cover to close, open the lid and leave it in it's upright
position. Place the open book onto the scanning plate with the right hand page at
the front of the scanner glass. Gently hold down the book to keep it flat. If the book
has unequal thickness press down on the thin section and this will rotate the spine of
the book to assist flattening. Press the START key. When you hear the message
"Analysing" you can release the pressure on the cover.
Utility bills or bank statements are set out in columns but are intended to be read
across the page. You should always use PAGE MODE for this type of document.
However the results of reading these types of documents are variable. This is due to
how the supplier has produced the original form. If vertical lines are used, these can
result in the recognition program having to make an intelligent guess, and usually it
assumes characters. Such documents are not easy to read. If you have problem tell
your document supplier that you require a plain format. This is usually not a problem
for them, though they may suggest it is. Most banks can supply a statement at your
branch and these do not have lined columns and can be read without difficulty.
Telephone numbers may not be spoken as telephone numbers but as cardinal or
plain numbers. This is due to the printed telephone not being in the standard format
of telephone numbers.
Only correctly formatted numbers are correctly spoken.
