Steve -
Spent quite a bit of time with it today, and can now get it to scan, it was a bit unclear that I needed to keep making slight adjustments to my phone's position, until I positioned it such that all bleeps stopped, then it took the picture. I also had to discover that rather than a few seconds, it needed about 25 seconds before the voice began reading.
My findings are that while it is quite useful for such things as bits of post, it is pretty useless when it comes to scanning the page of a book. I'd say then that it is probably useful for single sheet reading of info or notices, but too hit and miss for more serious scanning; all that's probably reflected in it's price, but probably doesn't produce good enough results to make me buy it.

Hi Andy,

Did you install the FP1 or FP2 version?
Once the beeps stop, it should take a picture itself if you are in focus and 
then start reading after a few seconds.

Please feel free to contact me off list if you need further help with it.

All the best

Steve

Hi all -

Have just installed the demo of the Beyo reader on my N82, but so far no
success with snapping a document.

I thought I was following the instructions from the ReadMe file ok, but
maybe not.

I opened the camera slide on the rear of the phone, opened the Bayo app,
held the phone horizontally over a page in a book, and after a couple of
seconds, the phone started to make a lot of fast low pitched bleeps, with
the occasional higher pitch bleeps as well, I had the phone about 10 inches above the page. If I waited long enough, all beeps stopped, but nothing else 

happened.

Anybody give me some guidance to making this work please?

Thanks -

Andy

Hi Janet.

The version of Beyo you need is the feature pack 2 edition since that is
what OS your phone runs. Its just above the link to download the complete 


archive, though the archive does contain instructions on how to use the
product, so well worth the extra few minutes to download.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi all, this isn't stricly talks but I've just been onto the Computer
Room
Services website as I want to download a demo of the Beyo Reader.  There
appear to be two downloads and I'm not sure which one I should use.  I
