reading speed, and the right one speeds it up. To reset the reading speed to normal,
briefly press both the "Slow Down" and the "Speed Up" key at the same time.
If you have paused reading with the start/stop key, you can use the "Slow Down" and
"Speed Up" keys to navigate through the text. Pressing "Slow Down" will result in reading
word for word moving backward. Pressing "Speed Up" will cause Sophie Pro to spell out
the next word. Once you press the start/stop key again, reading will continue from the
current position.
Sophie Pro plays music during slightly longer actions, such as the recognition of a page of
text. If you want to switch the music off, press the two "Slow Down" and "Speed Up" keys
simultaneously for about 5 seconds. This will permanently turn the music off or back on
again.

keys after a view seconds. Now you can adjust the brightness with the "Slow Down" and
"Speed Up" keys. When finished, press the scan key. The brightness will be saved and
the "Slow Down" and "Speed Up" keys return into normal operation.
