Setting up your uto-Lektor

Auto-Lektor should e placed on a firm, level surface out of direct sunlight, and close to a

power source. If you will e using Auto-Lektor's internet connection capa ility, make sure

you place it close enough to your router so that an Ethernet ca le can reach from one unit

to the other, and e placed safely where it won't create a hazard.

Connecting to the power

Connect the socket end of the power cord to the power connector on the ack end of your

Auto-Lektor, and the plug end to a suita le wall socket.

Beside the power connector on the Auto-Lektor, you will find a switch. When the top of this

switch is pressed in to the Auto-Lektor, it is in the Off position; when the ottom of the

switch is pressed in, it is in the On position.

Turning this switch on doesn't actually start Auto-Lektor up; it simply provides power.

Turning Auto-Lektor on is done on the front panel.

Connecting to the Internet

It is not necessary to connect to the internet to use Auto-Lektor as a self-contained reading

machine; this connection is only used for emailing, reading we pages, reading RSS feeds

and listening to internet radio.

To connect physically to the internet, first the Ethernet ca le must e plugged in to the side

panel on the right side of the Auto-Lektor. The other end of the ca le should e plugged in

to a free port in your router. If you are not sure how to do this, or if you need assistance in

o taining a suita le Ethernet ca le, please contact your distri utor for assistance.

Setting up Auto-Lektor with the parameters for your internet connection and email is

discussed in the section Connecting Auto-Lektor.

Introduction

Auto-Lektor is a stand-alone reading device, self-contained in a single unit. It has an

integrated key oard on the front panel, through which you have access to all the functions.

Auto-Lektor incorporates a scanner, key oard, hard disk, CD drive and then gives you

access to multiple devices and sources of text: USB, serial and network or the internet. It

can scan large or heavy ooks; it can save or email the text it has recognised. The

integrated key oard on the front panel has high-contrast colours, and each utton has a

Braille la el as well as a text la el.

Exploring the external features of your uto-Lektor

Your Auto-Lektor has features on all four sides and on the top. This tour will help you to

ecome familiar with these features.

With the Auto-Lektor on the ta le in front of you, with the front panel towards you, use the

following explanations to identify the features as you explore.

The Front Panel

This panel contains the power utton, the volume kno and the integrated key oard.

The power utton is located at the ottom left corner of the front face. On the ottom right

corner you will find the volume control. Between them is the key oard.

The key oard has three rows of nine keys each. Each key has a two-character Braille

identifier, to help you to find the key you want. There is a full explanation of the key oard in

the next section.

To get you started, the four keys you need to egin reading are Scan, Read, Pause and

Clear. These keys are la elled SC, RE, PA and CB. You will find them as follows:

Scan, SC, is on the ottom row, second key in from the left.

Read, RE, is next to Scan, on the right.

Pause, PA, is the leftmost key on the top row.

Clear, CB, is the rightmost key on the ottom row.

Next, we go through the features on each side of your Auto-Lektor.

Illustration 1: Auto-Lektor front panel. Primary keys are marked in red.

The Left Side

If you run your hand along the left side, down towards the ase, first you will find some

small slots in the case; these are air vents for cooling. Next you will find the CD drive,

where you can load CDs for reading; then, eginning at a out the centre of the left side

and going all the way to the ack corner, is the support for the reading shelf.

Your Auto-Lektor is supplied with a remova le shelf, so that if you have larger ooks,

magazines or newspapers to scan, they can sit flat; this prevents them from sliding off the

scanner, and helps to give the scanner the est picture. The shelf has a flat top around the

same width as the scanner, and a shorter section at a right-angle, which can e slotted

into the support.

The Right Side

On the right-hand side of your Auto-Lektor, going from front to ack, you will first find the

headphone socket; this socket takes a standard 3.5mm headphone plug. Then you will

find another set of small ventilation slots, just like those on the left side.

Further down towards the ack you will find a panel with many connectors. The first two,

one elow the other, are for a PS/2 external key oard and mouse. The next two, one

elow the other, are the Serial port, COM1,for connecting a serial device, and a VGA port

so that a monitor can e connected.

Next you will find two USB ports, for connecting external USB drive or a USB pen-drive.

Then there is a column of 3 ports. The top one is an RJ45 Ethernet port, for connecting to

a network or to the Internet. Below this there are two more USB ports.

The next two ports, one elow the other, are RCA and S-Video, followed y three audio

sockets; Audio in, Audio out and Microphone.

Illustration 3: Auto-Lektor right side, showing ports and headphone socket

These ports allow you great freedom of access to texts of all kinds; as you read through

this User Guide you will discover how Auto-Lektor makes use of them.

Now let's take a look at the ack of the Auto-Lektor.

The Rear Panel

Although you will generally use the power utton on the front panel, there is another power

switch on the rear panel. This will turn off all power to the Auto-Lektor, so that you will

know it is using no power. As well as saving electricity when the Auto-Lektor is not in use,

this is a safety feature; if you will e out for the day or away for several days, you should

switch the Auto-Lektor off at this switch.

On the rear panel you will also find more ventilation slots and a fan.

And finally, the all-important top: the scanner.

The Top of the Auto-Lektor

The Auto-Lektor's top is the scanner. The lid opens from the left side, with its hinge on the

right. Lift the lid from the left, and you will find that the hinge feels quite loose; this is

ecause the hinge can open quite widely, to accommodate larger ooks. When you set the

lid down again, the hinge returns to its proper position.

The next step in getting to know your Auto-Lektor is finding out about all the

available functions. The place to begin is the integrated keyboard.

The uto-Lektor Keyboard

The Auto-Lektor key oard located on the front panel has three rows of nine uttons. Each

utton is la elled with two Braille characters to remind you of what it does. In this Guide,

we will use the two-letter names for the keys throughout, after this explanation of the keys.

All the keys are grouped according to their function, and all the keys in a group have the

same colour.

The groups and their colours and positions are:

Reading, green; these keys are along the ottom row, with one key on the centre row, third

in from the left.

Clear Buffer, red. This group has only one key, which is on the ottom row, far right.

Voice Parameters, lue; these keys are in the middle row, from positions fourth from the

left to second from the right.

Navigation, yellow; these keys take up all of the top row and the two right-most positions of

the middle row.

Function keys, purple; these keys are the two left-most keys on the middle row.

The Reading Group:

Most of the reading group uttons are on the ottom row. The following explanations take

the keys in order from left to right.

Help (HP)

This key puts you in Help mode; once that is on, you can press any other key and Auto-

Lektor will tell you what it does. When you press HP, Auto-Lektor says "Entering context

help mode. Press a key to hear its function." To leave Help Mode, press HP again.

Scan (SC)

Pressing this key starts the scan of the document on the glass, or, if the source text is set

to an external source such as a CD, the hard drive or a USB device, to load the text from

the external source into the Buffer.

If you are reading text from a CD, first you need to choose from the list of the files on the

CD. Choose a title using PT and NT, and then press SC again to load the file. For we

pages and RSS feeds, you work in a similar way. The User Menu section has detailed

information a out how each of these text sources works.

Read (RE)

Pressing RE causes Auto-Lektor to egin reading from eginning of the first page in the

Buffer. If there is no text in the Buffer, ecause you haven't scanned a document yet, Auto-

Lektor will say "Buffer is empty."

Once you egin reading, if you have more than one page of text in the Buffer, Auto-Lektor

will read it all in sequence. Any time you press RE after pausing, reading will egin again

at the top of the first page in the Buffer.

Change language (CL)

CL changes the language Auto-Lektor uses to read and recognise. Use this utton

etween scans or in Pause Mode, to change the recognition and reading language for the

next scan or for the rest of the current text.

Auto-Lektor can have multiple languages installed. This means that Auto-Lektor will

recognise and read the text in any of the languages that are installed on the device, and

the CL key allows you to choose from the list of installed languages.

Source (SR)

SR determines where the text is to come from, to e read. You have the choice of:

•Black and white scanning;

•Colour scanning;

•C drive (the Auto-Lektor's hard drive);

•Work folder (an area set aside on the C drive);

•CD, for text files on the CD;

•Pen drive, for text files on an external USB device;

•Internet;

•RSS channel;

•Email

Once you have chosen a Source, the text will come from that source; for anything except a

scan, you will need to use PT and NT to choose a file or ookmark from a list. The Source

setting also determines which User Menu is availa le to you when you press F1.

Destination (DE)

DE determines where the text will e sent after pressing TR, the next utton along this

row. Your choices are.

•CD drive;

•Pen drive;

•C drive;

•Working folder on the Auto-Lektor hard disk.

Transfer (TR)

sends the recognised text from the Buffer to the destination you have selected in DE. Auto-

Lektor will tell you if there is no text to e sent, and prompt you as needed.

Configure Punctuation (CP)

specifies how Auto-Lektor is to read punctuation. If you select None, the punctuation will

not e spoken, ut Auto-Lektor will change intonation and pause, where there is

punctuation. If you select All, every punctuation sign will e named. If you select Some,

you will only hear the following punctuation and special characters spoken; all other

punctuation will instead cause intonation changes and pauses, just as with None.

The characters spoken in Some punctuation mode are:

& ampersand ` apostrophe ) right parenthesis ; semi-colon

/ slash ^ caret { left race " dou le-quote

> greater than _ underscore } right race ' single quote

< less than | vertical ar [ left square racket ? question mark

@ at \ ackslash ] right square racket ! exclamation mark

# hash ( left parenthesis : colon

~ tilde * asterisk + plus

Information (IN)

IN is one of the most important keys, ecause it tells you what is happening. If you are not

sure where you are in a process, or if you just want to find out what Auto-Lektor is doing,

press IN.

IN is on the middle row, the third key in from the left. Pressing it tells you how many pages

are already in the Buffer, and how many remain to e recognised; it tells you the current

language setting; and your Source Text and Destination settings.

The IN key can only e used in Pause mode; if Auto-Lektor is reading, press PA to go into

Pause Mode, and then you can press IN.

The Clear Buffer Key

Clear Buffer (CB)

Clear Buffer can e found on the ottom row, the right-most key. If you press it once, Auto-

Lektor asks you for confirmation that you would like to clear any text from the Buffer; if you

want to clear the Buffer, press CB again. If you press any other key, the first keypress is

cancelled.

The Speech Para eters Group

These keys are availa le for use at any time, except when you are in Help Mode, where

you will hear what each key does. They alter the speed and volume of the speech output.

They are on the middle row, eginning at the fourth key from the left. From left to right, the

keys are:

•Louder (LO)

•Softer (SO)

•Slower (SL)

•Faster (FA)

You can also use the Volume control on the front panel to control the volume of speech.

However, to control the volume of audio play ack, use LO and SO.
