Quick Start for Eye-Pal Reader 

1.  Clear the platform of any objects.  

2.  Turn on Eye-Pal Reader by holding in the small round power button located 

in the center of the front panel.  

3.  Turn the volume knob, located to the right of the power button, on the front 

panel, clockwise. A tune will play while the device starts up. 

4.  Once Eye-Pal Reader 

is done loading, you will hear “Please place your 

document.” You are now ready to read. 

Note:

  Keep the platform 

clear of any documents until you hear “Please place 

your document.” 

5.  To turn off the device hold in the power button. Do not unplug the device 

until it is turned off. 

How to Read with Eye-Pal Reader 

To start reading, place a document on the base of Eye-Pal Reader. Orientation 
does not matter. As soon as the document is still, you will hear a “shutter” 
sound. Eye-Pal Reader will begin to read aloud in just a few seconds. 

To read fine print on a medicine bottle or any other small object place it in the 
middle 

of the platform. You will hear the device say, “Reading fine print.” 

If you remove the document, you will hear, “Please place your document”. You 
may either replace the document or resume reading, by pressing the 
Pause/Resume button on the front panel (see below) or the Pause/Resume 
button on the Keypad. 

Note:

  Eye-Pal Reader can only read text that is within the borders of the base 

platform. Any text outside of the borders will not be read. Be sure not to 
obstruct the camera’s view with your hands.
