RUBY 10 Advanced Features and Functions 5
Snapshots and Captures
Live video and capture are available using three cameras, each with its
own purpose. Live video allows you to get a magnified or augmented view
of an object and prepare the camera to take a clear snapshot. Capturing
allows you to save a snapshot, recognize text, and have it read to you.
A short press of the red Capture button freezes the image on the screen as
a snapshot. With a long press of the Capture button, you can save a page,
recognize the text on it, and have it read to you.
RUBY 10 versus RUBY 10 Speech
If you received a RUBY 10 model rather than a RUBY 10 Speech model,
then speech functionality is unavailable in your device. Menus and controls
for voice and speech are not found on your RUBY 10 screen. You should
ignore all mention of voices, speech, and reading aloud in this manual. You
also do not have the text recognition feature (also called optical character
recognition or OCR) so you cannot scan an image and convert it to text.
If you have RUBY 10 Speech and because of your locale, you select a
language without an available voice, or a voice has not been installed, the
feature to define the menu voice is hidden. However, you can select
another language to use for the reading voice, which is separate from the
menu voice.
Help Text
Help text assists you in learning to use RUBY 10 and make the most of its
features. When you press a button or on-screen control for three to four
seconds, help text is displayed and/or spoken, describing what you are
about to do.
