Using Voice Recognition

• To change magnification size, simply say “bigger” or “smaller.” Repeat as

needed to reach the size you desire, pausing between commands to allow

Merlin to complete each movement.

Merlin is programmed to switch between sizes 1 (minimal), 4, 7, 10, 13 and

16 (maximum) on your command. For example, if you are at level 2 and say

“bigger,” Merlin will increase to level 4.

• To change viewing mode, simply say “change.” Merlin will change to the

next viewing mode option. Repeat the word until you come to the viewing

mode you desire.

Tips for Using Voice Recognition:

• Merlin has been trained to respond to your voice at its normal volume

when facing the microphone on the control panel.

• If there is any background noise, such as a radio or television, Merlin may

not respond because it is not able to distinguish your voice from the other

sounds. Reduce the background noise and try again.

• If you want to make more than one move between magnification levels or

choices of visual mode, pause between commands to allow Merlin to

complete each move separately.

• The level set with the Magnification dial overrides sizes arrived at by

verbal commands. For example, if the Magnification dial is set to size 8 and

then you verbally command Merlin to go to a smaller size, the next time you

turn the Magnification dial to increase size it will immediately go to size 9,

and increase further from that level.
