Hi Lori, Congratulations on getting started with Prizmo and your stand scan. Now, as regards positioning the phone: did you receive the special stickers that come with the stand Scan pro bundle? If so, the trick is to position the phone perfectly once, either using your own vision or with the help of a friend, then, when the phone is in the optimum position, put the stickers around it so that in future you merely have to drop the phone into place. This will save you a lot of frustration in the future. Assuming you are right handed, your phone should be positioned so that the camera is over the little round hole in the centre of the top of your stand scan. The side of the phone, the one that has the volume controls along it, should run parallel to the front of your stand ScanPro. Perhaps, about three quarter of an inch/2 cm away from the front edge. It is important that your phone is absolutely square with the top of the stand ScanPro. What I think is confusing you are the prompts given by Prizmo. These prompts can be useful when you are using Prizmo in freehand mode. But once you have your phone properly positioned on the top of the stand Scan, you can ignore these prompts entirely. Indeed, what Prizmo tells you it can see is almost irrelevant when you're using the standard scan pro. Now, if you are in "quick Capture" mode, and everything is in place, your phone, your text, Touch the screen just above the home button and you should hear "take picture". Double tap it. Then, all you need to do, is wait! Do not double tap the done button. Leave Prizmo to recognise the text and it will tell you when the text is recognised. Then, a two finger flick up will read you the whole of the screen. If you wish to go back to the camera mode, then you may press the done button. Otherwise, should you choose to save your text, there are various ways to do this, but I suggest you master the capturing of text first.
So, to recapitulate, The most important thing you need to do is position your phone, either independently or with help, stick the stickers in place, and start practising.
