yes, I noticed that the tone would become louder when there was more text
that was seen. And when there was very little the sound was not as loud.
Thanks again. I think it’s a wonderful program. I absolutely love Voice

Hi Esther, and all,
I hope it is clear that Winston's intent for the tones is to inform you
of the amount of text, so if the volume is at a reasonable level, and you
either get no tones, or very quiet; it could mean there is little or no text
visible.
I am finding that his app doesn't need the phone quite so far above the
page as some.
But, if it is a full page of text, and you have a stand like the Fopydo
which is about 10.5 or 11 inches above the page, it will emit a steady tone
for 2 or 3 seconds and take the picture. Assuming of course, auto capture is
on.
Otherwise, if you double tap the capture image, it gets nearly 100
percent accuracy.
Since his last version, I have only not heard a tone when the page had
the blank side up.
This is an iPhone SE, but that is also true with my work phone which is
the 8 plus.

Hi, Everyone,
I use the VoiceDream scanner as well and I like it. However, getting
the tones to work is a bit spotty and I have to do some manipulating of the
phone to get the tones to work. I believe this scanner is rather new and I
guess it takes time to iron all the bugs out. That is, if bugs can be
ironed! (Just kidding, of course)!

I quickly touch the screen with two fingers to stop VO talking when
it starts reading.
Maybe you should write Winston about the tones.

I have tried and I still get no tone at all. I am using an SE
which I wouldn't think would make a difference. Am I to use it with
headphones and not through the speaker? Also when the selected voice starts
reading, is there a way to stop voice-over from speaking as well?
Thank you.

In Voice Dream Scanner, double tap on menu, then settings, and
look for the tones toggle and make sure it is on.
You no longer need edge detection on since the tone is telling
you how much text is in view.
So, the louder the tone the more information it sees.
Hold it steady when the tone is loudest and if you have auto
capture on, it will take the picture automatically.

Richard

Voice Dream Scanner uses tones, but Voice OCR uses the

What setting do you adjust to make the tones work? Somehow
I don't get tones. It just makes a camera noise when I say "read" and gives
feedback.
Thank you so much. I find the app very helpful and

Yes, I've used it quite a lot and since the update, it
has improved in its reliability. Plus, his renaming the Take a picture
button with simply, Camera.
What is the issue with the hearing aids?
You may also want to let him know through the feedback
under the app's settings.

Still not working exactly right with my blue tooth
hearing aids, but that is not too critical. Also, the voice command to take
the picture doesn’t seem to work all the time.
Have you played with this feature much?
