3.3  Multiline Settings for Translation Function
 
Enjoy your ScanMarker Pro, a versatile and standalone product that transforms the way you read and interact with printed text. If you have any questions or need assistance, refer to the user manual or contact our support team. Happy scanning!

 

 

 

The Multiline setting allows you to display scanned text across multiple lines when using the Translate function. This feature enhances readability and provides a more organized view of the translated text.

  • Multiline Display: When enabled, the scanned text will be presented in separate lines, making it easier to follow along and understand the translation.

  • Impact on Speaking Speed: Please note that the Multiline setting may cause a slight delay in the speaking speed compared to the Single Line reading mode. This is because the device processes multiple lines of text, which can take a bit more time to process and speak aloud.

By using the Multiline setting, you can improve the clarity of translated text, though there may be a minor tradeoff in speaking speed.
