9. Function Guidance

Read Text

Hold the text about 30 to 40 cm in front of the camera. Use good lighting and keep the item steady. The result may omit, misread, or reorder text if the page is curved, reflective, small, moving, partially hidden, or poorly lit.

Describe Environment

Point the camera at the area you want described. The product may mention objects, signs, people, layout, stairs, holes, or obstacles. Descriptions are informational only and must not be used as the only basis for movement, crossing roads, avoiding hazards, or making safety decisions.

Continuous Environment Description

Use this mode only when it is safe to do so. Stop moving before listening to or acting on information that requires attention. Do not use this mode as your only navigation aid.

Food Products and Expiry Date

Point the camera at the product label so the name, ingredients, allergens, warnings, price, and expiry date are visible. Always check the original label before eating, buying, or serving food. Do not rely on the product for allergen, expiry, ingredient, or food-safety decisions.

Receipts

Place the receipt flat and keep the full receipt visible. Receipt totals, currencies, dates, and items may be misread. Always check the original receipt before payment, reimbursement, accounting, or financial decisions.

Banknote Recognition

Scan one banknote at a time for the most reliable result. If scanning several banknotes, place them side by side, not stacked. Banknote recognition is informational only. Always verify money independently before making or accepting payment.

Light and Colours

Use good framing and avoid mixed lighting where possible. Colour and light results may be affected by shadows, screens, reflections, camera exposure, and surrounding objects.

Date and Time

The date and time depend on the device settings and may be wrong if the device time is incorrect.

10. Getting Better Results

• Keep text, labels, money, and receipts steady while capturing.
• Start with the item about 30 to 40 cm from the camera.

• Clean the camera area regularly.
