I like having it auto scan. That way, once the tone is loudest and steady for about 2 or 3 seconds, it takes the picture. Also, with hints turned off, having it read automatically is also very useful. Turn off edge detection or it won’t play the tone and you have to get all four edges in view, which isn’t really worth it with this app.
As I always say with anything involving numbers and scanning, make sure at some point you get verification from someone sighted to be sure it got the numbers correct. Voice Dream Scanner does the best job of any scanning apps I’ve used, and I have used most of them, if not all, but I still am a little cautious with numbers.

(It is notable that while I have regretted not granting grace to others, I’ve never once regretted extending it.)" - Edward Herbert From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Sunday, June 21, 2020 9:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Voice Dream Scanner Very helpful!

The menu button will get you into where you can change things and read instructions. However, all you need to do is hold your phone flat and above the card. Move the phone an listen for the tone which will get louder as more text is detected. If the tone gets quieter, you've lost focus on some text. When you have a loud stable tone, double tap on the "capture image" button and the text will be scanned. Settings in the app let you determine if it's read out loud or not among other things. I find it best to use the app with VoiceOver hints disabled so the hint doesn't talk over the text which is read. However, the hints are useful to learn what's what. Hope that helps you get started. It's a beautifully intuitive system.
