the text to scan) Reading accent (some languages support more than one
accent) Left/Right-handed (hand holding the pen) Press the OK button (#2

have the text read out to you. Press the OK button to have the text read out
to you as many times as you want. Or press the Menu button to access options.
HOW TO SCAN
Look at the front page of this guide for reference on how to hold the pen. For
the best scanning result, the pen shall be held almost straight up. Make sure
no buttons except Scan Trigger are pressed during a scan. The pen scans one
(1) text line each time and this text line shall be centered in between the
two white nibs in the front end. Scanning start and stop points are aligned
with the edge of the transparent window. When the Scan Trigger gets in touch
with the paper, the scan light lights up. Start moving the pen straight along
the text line at a steady pace, avoid stops, do not rotate the pen, and keep
the text line in between the nibs. The left/Right-hand setting must be
correct, but it is possible to scan both from left to right and from right to
left at any time. Give it a try…
Scan this line from left to right.
Scan this line from right to left.
