Also, if you don't get the device Charles mentioned, it is a
good idea to place a book or something straight, reasonably
heavy, against the line where you are reading. You can use
that to guide your camera, because for many, people tend to
sort of skew the hand moving the camera, but it has to stay
straight, straight on the line you are reading.
Once you have gained a little bit of proficiency, novels are
a fun way to build speed.

Totally agree with Charles.
In addition, just a little suggestion.
Maybe during your first readings, you will move your reading
hand or finger attempting to recognize better every single
character.
This is not a good idea. Position your hand into the front
space with your index finger on the array, and keep both in
position without moving.
When you move the camera with the other hand, all characters
and words will roll under your finger and you will be
totally ok.
Keep so calm during your first experiences and do not think
you are not able to read, this is not true.
Congratulation for your purchase.

with one hand while reading the tactile input on thedisplay with the
other hand. For the most part, the tracking hand is using
