Scan and Read
This function enables you to read printed text like letters, books, portions of food
packages and medicine labels, including the fine print. The Ace reads printed text
aloud (unless a Braille display is in use), and displays magnified text on the screen.
Scanned material can be saved. Instructions for saving are given in the Managing
Documents section.

front of the device on a flat surface. Use the base of the device as a guide, and place
the long side of the paper so that it is aligned with the length of the base. The
orientation of the document will not influence the recognition of the text.
If you are scanning a document that is smaller than the 8 ½ by 11-inch field, for best
results, place a blank sheet of 8 ½ by 11-inch paper in the scanning area and lay your
smaller document on top of that. For smaller documents, it works better to place it
toward the right side of the scan field rather than in the center of the blank page.
