Description
Congratulations on your purchase of the Patriot VOICE EZ.
Hear your mail, newspapers, books, magazines, and much more read out loud.
Please take a moment to acquaint yourself with the three easy to use knobs on the unit that allow you to set the preference to best meet your needs.
Enclosed in package is the Patriot VOICE EZ portable reader, the AC adapter, and this User Manual.
We again thank you and are pleased you are empowered with this adaptive device to maintain your quality of life and independence.
Instructions on Use
Step One – Remove unit from box and set the unit atop a sturdy surface upright with handle on top and the three control knobs facing the user. We suggest you take a moment to gently feel the entire unit from top handle to the rear of the unit and canvas your hands over the sides, the bottom, and the canopy that houses the three tactile controls.
Step Two – Connect the power adapter to a standard household 110V outlet, then plug the opposite end into the inlet located in the rear of the unit.
Step Three – Locate the power switch on the back of the machine.
Press the switch to turn on the machine, the audible sound signifies power has
successfully been turned on. There will be a series of tactic’s for about 10
seconds which is then followed up by an audio announcement “Patriot at your
service”. At this moment it is ready to operate!
Instruction for Use – Continued
Step Four – Place your document onto the base, aligning the document with the edges of the base. Remove your hands out of the way so there is a clear unobstructed view of the document.
Please Note: Direction of document is irrelevant as the unit can read in a full 360 degree pattern, sideways, upside down and vice versa. The document does need to be face up.
Step Five – The unit will begin reading aloud automatically.
Step Six – The controls are as follows:
Left knob – allows you to take a picture of your document to read aloud by
pressing the knob in. This is especially useful when reading a book by
allowing you to simply turn the page and then push this knob in to have the
next page read out loud. Turning this left knob will change the reading speed.
Turning counterclockwise will decrease the reading speed and turning clockwise
will increase the reading speed.
Center knob – Press in the middle knob to pause or resume reading. You can turn the same middle knob in the clockwise direction to advance forward reading and turn the knob in the counter clockwise direction to rewind.
Right knob – Press in the right knob to hear the spelling of the current word that it is reading out loud. Turn the right knob to increase or decrease the volume.
Note: When changing speed, volume, or when rewinding or fast forwarding,
the Patriot will be paused afterwards. You will need to push in the middle
knob to resume reading
Pressing in the two left knobs at the same time will change the voice of the
spoken content. There are two English voices and two Spanish voices. The two
English voices will only read English print and the two Spanish voices will
only read Spanish print. The Patriot does not translate or read handwriting.
Pressing in the two right knobs at the same time will change the Patriot to
document mode or table mode. The document mode is the preset default mode. It
would be the proper setting to use to read down one column of text and then go
to the next, such as how to properly read a newspaper. Table mode is better
for reading financial statements. For example, you would hear”ATM deposit”,
and then hear the dollar amount. Instead of hearing all of the places of
transaction occurrences and then hearing all of the dollar amounts, which is
how the default document mode would read, and not always ideal.
