8 Acuity Speech mode - Start screen
When the Acuity Speech is starting up it shows an hourglass on screen. This
means the device is starting up its text recognition capabilities. When this is
fi nished the hourglass disappears and you can switch to Acuity Speech
mode by tapping the on/off button or fl ipping over the remote.
When the device is switched to
Acuity Speech mode it shows the
Start screen. In this screen there’s
a full page live view of the tableau.
The yellow marker indicates the
scan area.
The device scans documents up
to A4 or US letter size. When the
document is placed at a slight
angle or if the text is 90° rotated,
the software will correct this.
OCR quality might vary due to ambient light, paper and print quality. Don’t
fully rely on processed text alone. Check critical documents (i.e. doctor
prescriptions) in Original view or Acuity Basic mode.

Reading order
When a page is captured the system processes the page and defi nes the
text and image zones. Text zones are by default scanned from upper left top
corner to lower left corner and back to top etc. This depends on the white
space, colors, text sizes and images. The processing also auto-detects
tables and read rows from left to right.
