Scan
This button is in the bottom row of keys, one key in from the left - just to the right of the
Help button. Use this button to scan a document on the glass, or to load text from a CD or
the hard disk, or to fetch a document from the internet.
Read
Once a document has been recognised or fetched, and is safely in the Buffer, Auto-Lektor
will say "New text in Buffer". Now the Read button can be used to read the document.
Auto-Lektor will read from the beginning to the end.
Pause
The Pause button is at the top left of the Auto-Lektor keyboard; on the top row, the left-
most button. Pressing Pause will stop Auto-Lektor reading. To re-start reading from the
place where you paused, press Pause again. To return and start reading from the
beginning, press Read.
Clear Buffer
This key is at the bottom right of the Auto-Lektor keyboard. If you press it in Context Help
Mode, Auto-Lektor will say "Clear Buffer". In use, it will say "Erase Buffer. Press again to
confirm". Using the Clear Buffer button will clear any previous text from the Buffer so that
you can start afresh with a new document.
Some things to remember
Scanning and reading operate independently of each other. Once the first document has
been scanned and you have heard the scanning head return, you can start scanning the
second and subsequent pages, even before the announcement that there is new text in
the Buffer. You can start reading as soon as Auto-Lektor tells you there is new text, and
continue with recognition of subsequent pages during the scan.
Now that you have the primary functions working, we invite you to read on and
discover more of your Auto-Lektor's features.
