The print is too small.
Point your camera. Hear the page.
Small print, lost glasses, a letter you want to hear instead of read. Take a photo, and Aura reads the text aloud.
How it works
- In Aura, take a photo of the page, or pick a photo you already have.
- Aura finds the text in the picture. This is called text recognition (OCR). It happens on your phone.
- Check the text, then press play.
Good uses
- Letters, forms and printed handouts
- Book pages and magazine articles
- Menus, signs and museum labels
- Scanned pages that Aura cannot open as a PDF
Translate, then listen
A label in a language you don’t read? Download a language pack once. Then Aura translates the text on your phone, and reads the translation aloud. Translation is part of Aura Pro.
Tips for a good result
- Use good light and hold the phone flat above the page.
- Fill the frame with the text.
- Printed text works best. Handwriting may not be recognized.
