Sight and Sound

Level Indicator — This provides information through audible beep tones to indicate whether and how much the Reader is tilted when held over the target.  True horizontal is indicated by the absence of beeps.  Beep pulsing increases as the Reader moves from horizontal toward vertical, and pulsing slows as the Reader becomes more level above the target.  Beeps will be heard if the Reader is tilted away, end to end, side to side or both  away from horizontal.  This feature only works in image capture and must be switched on or off in the settings menu.

Glare Report — This feature informs users if light from the camera or another source is causing glare to be reflected on the image.  The report is presented during image processing and will indicate whether the glare is some, moderate, or significant.  No glare is detected if a glare report is not provided.

Open Text File in Notes — This feature allows the text from a captured image to be displayed in the phone’s text reading program called notes, rather than switching to the text reading screen during image processing.  With the text displayed in notes, the file is exposed to the phone’s screen reader and may also be read with a supported Braille display.  Note that processing must finish completely before the notes file is opened and this feature can be switched on or off by going to the Reader settings menu.

Color Identifier — This feature provides a verbal report of color captured in an image by pressing 7 on the keypad at the image capture screen.  The report only includes a single color as seen by the camera.  Best results will normally be achieved with the camera flash turned on and when color detection images are captured in moderate in-door light.
