Hallo Veronica,
Don't change anything in the settings of Saytext. Just try the following:
place the phone so that it is central and square with the paper (if you have
difficulty with this, i can make a suggestion as to how to do this)
Doubletap the "Take Picture" button and lift the phone. I always suggest
using both hands as this is the best way of keeping the phone completely flat
and make sure you don't cover the camera on the back of the phone.
If you are scanning a piece of foolscap, lift the phone at least a foot
high. Then stop for a second or two to see if the beeps start. if not, lift a
little higher and wait again, repeat until you hear them, but you should never
need to go more than 18 inches high.
Once the beeps and the shutter have gone off, just wait. you can move the
phone now, as the app is no longer using the camera. You may have to wait from
1 to 2 minutes, but normally not that long and you should hear "OCR finished"
or something like that. then you can just do a two finger flick down to hear
your results.
Let me know if this works for you.
Sandy.
