How to use:
1. Point your camera to some text (in a book, a sign , ...) and thecamera will automatically capture the text and say it
2. If you cannot hear the speech - check that you have aText-to-Speech engine on the device that supports your language -English is already part of the default Google TTS engine

RECOGNITION ACCURACY
- Various factors can cause the OCR to fail: uneven illumination,stylized text, or text without enough contrast from the background.Try to have good lighting.
- Hold the device steady, and be sure the picture is infocus.
- If you need to scan a large block of text or an entire document,consider using a flatbed scanner or a document scanning app such asTextFairy instead.
