Introduction

The Eye-Pal

Ace, Eye-Pal Ace Plus, and Eye-Pal ROL are able to scan and

read many types of difficult materials such as food packages and glossy

magazines.

While the device typically begins reading within 3-5 seconds for simple

documents, it takes longer to process more complicated types of print.

Keep in mind that although the device has a 99% accuracy rate in reading a

simply laid out page, no device offers 100% OCR accuracy. For example, you

may find that an entire document may be accurate, aside from a website

occasionally being read with a character omitted.

The document used to test all devices before shipment is a 1200 word single-

column test page with 7.5 font size. The margin of error consistently measures

at only 2-3 word errors out of these 1200 words.

Other documents that have graphics intermingled with text, text boxes, and

different size columns, may result with some sections that read perfectly and

other parts of the document that register a few errors. While many types of

documents can be read well, the device will not be able to process every kind

of document in the universe with such high accuracy.

But the good news is that by using the device features (such as the ability to

switch from "Table Mode" to "Column Mode" by pressing and holding the left

and right Daisy arrow buttons at the same time), portions of even the most

difficult documents can often be read with very good accuracy.

Learning how to properly place documents will help you get the most out of

your device.
