[Reader-users] models

[Cindy Handel]

Roy, it depends on how you have your reader set to read back to you.  You 
can have it read page, line, paragraph or from the beginning of the 
document.  So, check your settings.

    Hi, James:

What model do I have?  That old model A that we had in the 30's and 40's was
pushed farther than it was ever driven.
You told me once to take a picture, then listen for the page to start being
read, then take another picture and so forth till I have taken pictures of
all the pages I want to hear read back. Then I should press down arrow to
read from the beginning. I am doing that but it does not read from page one
to pageX.It just reads the  last page of what I snapped.
Thanks,

Roy Dubriel
