Tips.
● For best detection, ensure that the camera lens is directly facing the text with the long
side of the device with all of the buttons facing upward, and the lens is not covered or
dirty. The camera can only read text in its field of view.
● Make sure you do not move texts you would like OrCam Read to read while the device is
taking a picture.
● Avoid taking pictures while walking or pointing at moving texts, as the device may not
read properly.
● If you are having trouble keeping the text steady, a book holder is recommended.

● While in the audio settings menu, follow the audio instructions to browse and select
through the settings. Pressing the trigger button once confirms the selected option;
pressing either of the volume buttons browses through the options. Rapidly pressing the
trigger button twice either makes the device go back to the main menu or exits the audio
settings menu.
● If you do not make a selection, the device will repeat the same message. If no action is
made before 30 seconds transpire, the device will automatically exit the audio settings
menu.
