The OCR function scans a text by means of optical character recognition, and reads
it, using text-to-speech function.
The conversion rate depends on the text capture quality. The OCR application is
equipped with intelligent document recognition and automated data capture system
that has the capability to accurately convert an A4 document with text in font size 12
or higher. To ensure automated detection, your document must be placed in front of
you in vertical position on a clear, one coloured, well-lit, even support base which
strongly contrasts with the document to be scanned.
Two capture modes are available:
1. "
Page detection
" capture mode is particularly useful for blind people. The
user is voice guided throughout the process of having the document detected
and captured automatically.
2. "
Camera
" mode allows to capture text documents without voice guidance.
