CHAPTER 4: SWITCHING TO STANDARD INTERFACE Prodigi  contains  two  different  interfaces, Simple and Standard, which can be changed according to your specific needs. By default, Prodigi’s  interface  is  set  to  Simple  (see previous  chapter  for  more  information). Prodigi’s  Standard  interface  allows  you  to perform  more  touch  gestures,  keep  your documents in memory, and further customize your system.
Page 13  To switch your interface to Standard:    Press  and  hold  the  Back  button  to access  the  Settings,  select  All  Settings and tap.    Select General and tap.    Tap again to change the User Interface. Select Yes, and tap to confirm. MAGNIFYING (STANDARD INTERFACE)   After  switching  your  interface  to Standard,  Prodigi  will  automatically launch the Magnifier.    You can manipulate the Tablet, navigate in  the  text  and  adjust  the  brightness  in the  same  way  as  on  the  Simple interface.  See  chapter  3  (section Magnifying) for more information.
Page 14    In addition  to the  Plus-Minus  keys,  you can use the pinch and zoom gesture to adjust  the  zoom  level.  Decrease  the distance  between  2  fingers  to  zoom out,  and  increase  the  distance  to zoom in:    In addition to changing the contrast from the  Settings,  you  can  toggle  between color, positive, and negative contrasts by  swiping  on  the  right  edge  of  the touchscreen:

Note:  Turn  on  the  camera’s  flash  if necessary in the same way as on the Simple interface.  See  chapter  3  (section  Capturing and Reading) for more information. SPOT READING   Once  you  have  captured  a  document (either  at  Working  Range:  Close-up  or Full  Page),  you  will  notice  a  rectangle frame  on  the  top  left  corner.  This  is Prodigi’s  locator.  Move  the  locator  by slowly  moving  your  finger  on  the touchpad  without  lifting  it  (pan gesture) to quickly reach a section of the document you want to read:
Page 18   Tap to enlarge the section delimited by the locator:    When  a  section  of  a  document  is magnified,  pan  to  reach  other  parts  of the document.   Press  Back  to  see  the  locator  again. This  is  a  practical  way  to  locate  your position on the document. USING THE CAROUSEL MENU Prodigi  has  3  main  applications  –  Magnifier, Gallery,  and  Settings.  They  are  presented one by one in the carousel menu:
Page 19  To  access  the  carousel  menu  from  the Magnifier:   Press  Back  to  close  the  Magnifier  and access the carousel menu.  Prodigi  will  announce  “Main  Carousel” followed  by  the  currently  selected application. The  currently  selected application is positioned in the center of the screen:    Swipe left or right in the carousel menu to select an application.   To launch a selected application, simply tap.    To cancel, press Back.
Page 20  VIEWING SAVED DOCUMENTS The  Gallery  contains  all  the  documents  you saved.   Select  and  tap  on  the  Gallery  in  the carousel menu:    Swipe  left  or  right  in  the  Gallery  to  flip through your saved documents.    The  currently  selected  document  is  in the  center  of  the  screen.  Prodigi  will announce  and  indicate  the  first  word contained  in  the  currently  selected document.  If  the  document  contains  no words, Prodigi will tag it as an image.    To  open  a  selected  document,  simply tap.   Move  the  locator  to  quickly  reach  a section  of  the  document  you  want  to magnify.   Tap to see the section delimited by the locator at your preferred zoom level.
Page 21    You can toggle between color, positive, negative,  and  Diamond  Edge™  (if  the image  contains  text)  contrasts,  and adjust  the  brightness  in  the  same  way as  with  the  Magnifier  (see  section Magnifying (Standard interface) for more information).   Press Back to see the locator again.   Press  Back  again  to  close  a  document and  return  to  the  Gallery.  Once  you close  a  document,  Prodigi  will remember  your  position  and  apply  it automatically the next time you open the document. Notes: Prodigi will announce “Gallery empty” if  the  Gallery  contains  no  documents.  The Gallery  cannot  contain  more  than  100 documents. Once you pass this number, you will  be  prompted  to  delete  some  documents from the Gallery before saving new ones.
Page 22  To delete a document:   In  the  Gallery,  press  and  hold  your finger  down  on  the  image  you  want  to delete. You will be prompted ‘DELETE?’ and a red ‘X’ will appear. Tap to confirm, or press Back to cancel.  CHAPTER 5: CHOOSING YOUR CONTRAST Prodigi  allows  you  to  view  documents, pictures  and  objects  in  3  types  of  contrast: color, positive  or  negative.  For documents that contain text, a 4th type of contrast can be used:  Diamond  Edge™.  Positive,  negative, and  Diamond  Edge™  contrasts  are enhanced;  they  are  meant  to  enhance  the original  color  of  a  document  or  object  to facilitate your visual experience.
Page 23  Color  contrast  is  useful  if  you  want  to  view documents, objects, and photographs in their original color.  Positive contrast shows text and images in 2 colors  according  to  your  selected  color combination,  the  default  combination  being Black  on  White.  This  is  a  practical  way  to view  text  in  the  best  color  combination  for your vision. Negative contrast shows text and images in reversed  contrast  as  compared  to  your selected  color  combination.  For  example,  if your combination is Black on White, negative contrast  will  show  text  and  images  in  White on Black. This is useful if you wish to reverse the  contrast  of  a  text  that  contains  different contrasts. Diamond Edge™ contrast combines the best of  both  worlds;  it  shows  Diamond  Edge Text™  in  your  selected  color  combination and images in their original color. This allows you  to  magnify  text  indefinitely  without compromising  its  quality  in  the  best  color combination  for  your  vision,  while  viewing
Page 24  images  in  their  original  color  on  the  same page. To  toggle  between  the  different  contrasts, press and hold the Back button to access the Settings, select Contrast, and tap to choose a contrast.  Press  Back  to  return  to  your document or object. Prodigi’s  Standard  interface  also  allows  you to  toggle  between  the  different  contrasts  by swiping on the right edge of the touchscreen:   Note: The contrast cannot be changed while in Line or Column mode, or while viewing an image at 1x (Read View or Gallery).
Page 25  CHAPTER 6: CHANGING YOUR SETTINGS (Note: The values marked with a star (*) are default settings.) To  quickly  configure  your  system  while viewing a document, you can press and hold the Back button to access the Settings menu. The currently selected item is announced and highlighted by a rectangular frame. Scroll up or down to move the rectangle and select an item. The items will be read one at a time (by default). Tap  or  use  the  Plus-Minus  keys  to toggle the value. Press Back to return to your document.
