Hi Eileen,
1. If your case is easy to remove, then do that, it can't but help.
2. Are you right handed? I am left, but will offer my advice based upon
the norm, I.E. right handedness. place the phone on the top of the box,
with the open side of the box facing you. Obviously, you want the top
right corner of the phone to cover the round aperture for the camera. I
find, when my phone is in the right place, there is a gap between the
front edge of the top of the box and the phone's left hand side, which
measures about half an inch (a large centimetre) and this gap should be
the same for the length of the phone to ensure that it is straight.
3. i find that when my phone, especially not in the case, is in position,
I can feel the rounded edges of the hole, very slightly, at the top edge
of the phone and to the right.
4. I would suggest using Prizmo to start because you can use the speech
command to take the shot and, in this way, you won't dislodge the phone
from its position by tapping. Also, prizmo is more forgiving of slightly
skewed text, so, while you are finding your feet, you should get some
reasonable results.
5. Make sure you are using 12 volts, either with the 12 volt battery
backup or with the mains adaptor. I find that the lights give off some
heat, after a minute of the 12 volts, so, if you can't tell otherwise,
this should let you know that the lights are working.
Placing the document inside:
1. I find it is more important to have the text square rather than
centralised as the camera has a complete view of the whole of the base of
the box, so, align your paper with the back and side of the box and make
sure it is flat.
So, to sum up: your phone should be laying with its long, left side
parallel with the front of the box but about half an inch away. And you
should just be able to detect the edge of the round hole at the top of the
phone on the right and to the side.
It will help to have guiding tactiles, but I have not been using them,
so they are not essential, once you get a feel for the right position.
Don't worry, i promise you, once you have got used to it, it will work
for you!!! As always, start with something easy to scan so you can get
some successes to boost your confidence and don't worry if you need to
keep coming back for tips, other people may have similar issues at first,
so your questions will be helpful for others as well.
Ah! although both Prizmo and Text Grabber can work with text turned
through 90 degrees, it is always better to have the text up the right way,
so the top should be to the right of the box, assuming you are
right-handed.
HTH and do please let me know how it goes.
Sandy.

Hello Folks,
I just received my StandScan in the mail yesterday. I need some
assistance in aligning the phone's on top of the StandScan. It's in a
case that has arectangular cutout where the camera is located. I have
tried to align it with the upper eedge of the camera's hole on the
StandScan, but I am getting poor recognition on most of my scan. Help!!!
I am up to date on the latest post from Sandy, so I know that are looking
into labels one can use with the device. Until these labels are ready,
What can I do to get better alignment of the camera on the StandScan?
Would it better to remove the case to use it? Is there a particular place
in the I should place the materials in the box when it isn't a full
sheet? All suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Eileen
