RUBY 10 Advanced Features and Functions 55
Saving and Scanning Files
If you have RUBY 10 Speech, your device includes text recognition, also
called optical character recognition (OCR), and speech. You can capture
an image of a page and RUBY 10 will recognize the text and read it to you.
The file is not saved unless you tap the Save button, as discussed in the
following sections.
Capturing a Page
You can capture images from any position, whether the stand is open or
closed or the camera arm is extended or closed.
For a full page of text, however, you need to open the stand and fully
extend the camera arm. Place the material you want to capture under the
camera arm so the page is centered on the screen. Bold, italics, and
underline are recognized. For steps on setting up RUBY 10, see
Full-page
Camera.
To save a file after it is captured, tap the Save button.
Capturing Multiple Pages
With a long press of the red Capture button (about one second), you save a
page, recognize the text on it, and have it narrated. You can begin reading
before all the text is recognized. Using the Full-page camera is
recommended for capturing text. However, you can use any camera to
capture an image.
