Recharging the battery and operation time
The VOICEYE Player battery is placed inside the unit and you can recharge using the ac adapter.
The player can also be charge while it is connected to a computer through a USB cable. The battery
will recharge automatically. We recommend connecting the cable to the USB port at the back of the
computer, because the power supply through the USB port at the front or an extended USB hub may
not be strong enough to recharge the battery.
Recharging adaptor
USB cable
It takes about 2 hours to recharge the battery completely.
When the battery is fully charged, the player’s output speech is approximately 3 continuous hours.
When you use it in “VOICEYE mode,” capturing VOICEYE, the operation time can be shorter
because the LED in the VOICEYE scanner consumes some battery power.
Chapter 2. The features of VOICEYE Mate

Installing the VOICEYE Player driver and connecting to the player
If you install the VOICEYE Browser while the VOICEYE Player is connected to the computer, the
VOICEYE driver will be installed automatically. However, if the driver is not installed properly, you can
install it by running setup_driver.exe program in the “Tools” folder on the CD. Before you install the driver,
please, make sure that the player is connected to the computer.
29
1
If you run the setup_driver.exe
program, the driver will be

Start the VOICEYE Browser on
the desktop, or in Start menu ->
all programs -> VOICEYE ->
VOICEYE Browser.
Click the Connect button located in the top left of the screen or select “Connect to the
player” in the Tools menu. While the player is connected with VOICEYE Browser, you
cannot use any function of the player. This is to prevent errors that may occur when using

player while it is connected with the VOICEYE Browser, you should disconnect the player
from the Browser.

connecting process on its LCD
display. If the VOICEYE Player is

Detailed description of each feature
The VOICEYE Browser provides such functions as folder and file management just like in the Windows
Explorer, file uploading and downloading between the VOICEYE Player and the computer, upgrading
VOICEYE Player version, and changing language pack.
ƒ
(1) Upgrading the VOICEYE Player
When you connect the VOICEYE Player with the VOICEYE Browser, it automatically checks the
version of the player and upgrades it to the latest version if available. At this point, the computer must
be connected to the Internet. If the latest version is already installed in the player, a window
containing the message “The player has the latest version already” will appear.
You can also upgrade the player manually. If the VOICEYE Player is not connected to the
computer, the upgrade icon is not activated.
Select the upgrade icon at the top
left of the screen, or “Player
upgrade” in the Tool menu.
33
2
It analyzes the system installed in
the VOICEYE Player. If the latest
version is installed in the player, a
window saying “the latest version”
will appear and disappear
automatically.
If not, upgrade the system files in
the player to the newest version.
If the player is upgraded
successfully to the newest
version, a message window
saying “Successfully upgraded”
will appear. You can complete
upgrading by clicking “OK.”
Once upgrading is completed, you should reboot the VOICEYE Player in order to use the new
version of the VOICEYE Player.
(2) Managing TTS language packs
In the VOICEYE Player, only one language is installed. Those who purchased the English version of the
VOICEYE Player, want to listen to Japanese text files, they have to purchase the Japanese language
pack separately. After installing the language pack contained in the CD, if you click the language change
icon in the VOICEYE Browser, you can change the TTS engine installed in the VOICEYE Player.
Further explanation will be shown later on using an example changing from English to Japanese.
34
1
Install the English TTS engine.
If you run setup.exe contained in
the CD, the setup screen like in
the figure on the right will appear.
Click “Next.”
Now you are ready to install the
program. Click “Install.”
The installation will proceed.
35
4
Click “Complete” button after the
installation is complete. Then, if
there is a new version of files
available, they will be updated.
Updating will be discussed in
more detail in the “Updating
programs” section.
Click language pack change
button in the VOICEYE Browser.
A window for selecting a
language will appear. Select the
language pack you want to use,
and click “OK.”
The language pack will be
upgraded.
After completing, a message
window telling you its successful
completion will appear. Click
“OK,” and then, reboot the
VOICEYE Player to use the
changed language.
36
3) Downloading files to the VOICEYE Player
You can download files stored in the computer to the VOICEYE Player. You can listen to the
content of a file in speech in the VOICEYE Player if you download a text file.
Select the files to be downloaded,
and click “Download” button at the
top right of the screen. Or select
“File transfer to the player” in the
File menu. If you copy and paste
a file, please, make sure whether
you are in My Computer Explorer
Window or the VOICEYE Player
Explorer Window.
(4) Uploading files to My Computer
You can upload the files stored in the VOICEYE Player to the computer. It is a good idea to back up
your important files stored in the VOICEYE Player to the computer. Sometimes, you might want to
upload files to the computer to share them with other devices.
Select the files you want to
upload, and click “Upload” button
at the top right of the screen. If
you copy and paste a file, please,
make sure whether you are in MY
Computer Explorer Window or in
the VOICEYE Player Explorer
Window.
37
(5) Managing folders and files
There are five system folders in the VOICEYE Player. These folders are built-in system folders in a
sense that you cannot delete or rename them. In the VOICEYE Browser, you can manage the files and
folders in each of these system folders and transfer files between the computer and the player. The
content of each of these folders and the access right is as follows
