Positioning your documents for capture 

Readit Air captures an area slightly larger than an A4 or Letter page.  

Documents  must  be  in  a  landscape  orientation  with  the  long  edge  of  the 
document going left to right when the Readit Air camera head is facing towards 
you. 

To align your document, simply place it up against the positioning guide so that 
one  of  the  corners  of  the  document  is  in  line  with  the  left  edge  of  the 
positioning guide. 

Readit’s software will also give a visual indication on screen as to what is going 
to be captured. 

The  orientation  of  the  document  will  not  influence  the  recognition  of  the  text 
but remember that to capture an entire A4 or letter page, the document must 
be  in  landscape  orientation,  otherwise  the  bottom  of  the  document  will  be 
missed.

Readit Air has powerful 
document straightening and 
rotation abilities but for the 
highest accuracy and speed, 
try to position your 
document as squarely as 
possible and ensure pages 
are relatively flat.
