How to use Reader
Opening
Tap Open Reader and allow camera and microphone. The app starts listening right away — no extra steps.
Scanning a document
- Point your phone at the document
- Tap the white circle button, or say "read this"
- Reader will tell you if anything needs adjusting (lighting, framing)
- On success, a summary appears and Reader speaks a brief overview
Asking questions
Just talk. Reader is always listening. Ask anything about the document and it will answer aloud.
