Doro 820 Mini Claria User Guide

Doro Claria

User Guide

English – Version 4.2

Two documents are available to help you learn how to use Doro Claria:

1. The main features become very clear thanks to the audio CD, designed for a listening experience in

actual operating condition,

2. This user guide is divided in four parts: first, a list of the 10 must-know preliminary points and 5

advanced points, then the table of contents, followed by chapters 2 to 6 explaining how to use the
Doro Claria interface and make calls, and finally chapters 7 to 16 describing how to use the
different applications .

Despite Doro Claria being relatively simple to use, we strongly advise you to carefully read this guide to
master all of its features (especially the 10 must-know key-points) and to go back to it whenever you have a
question. Make sure to keep your cell phone, its elastomer keypad overlay and your SIM card close at hand
while you go through our guide.

The following guide is intended for the Doro Claria with its completely vocalised interface and its elastomer
keypad overlay.

1 v.4.2

1. 1- List of the 10 must-know and 5 advanced points

To make navigating through this list easier, each point starts with a hyperlink:

Here are the 10 must-know points to use your Doro Claria

1- Master the physical buttons : “Sleep-Wake” button to switch on your phone, turn it off, reboot it, and go

in and out of sleep mode, as well as the “Home” button to go out of sleep mode

To switch your phone on, press the Sleep-Wake button on the right side of your phone for a few seconds:

the complete process will take around 30 seconds. If the phone is on, but the buttons aren’t working, this
means that the screen has gone in sleep mode. To exit sleep mode, press the “Home” button on the lowest
line of the keyboard or the “Sleep-Wake” button. When the Sleep mode is deactivated, a lock screen reads
the time out loud then tells you to “slide to unlock”. To unlock the phone and access your apps, put a finger

on the screen and slide it in any direction.

2- Memorize the order of the function keys on the keyboard, especially the 2 top lines which correspond to

the navigation keys. From left to right, those keys are: Menu, Up Arrow, Correction key, for the first line
and OK, Down Arrow, Back key for the second line. Below the horizontal separation line (in relief) you will
find a classic numeric keypad on the following four lines.

3- Get used to the elastomer keypad overlay. A few minutes of practice may be necessary to get a good

grasp on how it works.

To press a button several consecutive times quickly, get used to taking your finger off 1 or 2 mm from the
screen (approximately the height of the keypad overlay) before touching the screen again. Avoid the two
extremes consisting in either keeping your finger on the screen and only releasing the pressure a little, or
taking your finger too far away from the screen.

You should also learn how to change the interval after which a letter is repeated on the ABC keyboard for a
smoother use. To change the repeat-delay time of the ABC keyboard, see “9- Settings” then “4- Keyboard”
and “2- Repeat-delay interval".

4- Get used to opening the application-specific menus by pressing the Menu key. For example from the

contact list or the SMS and email inboxes, use this key to display the Edit, Delete… options.

5- To pick up the phone, press OK. To have the phone read you the name or number of the caller while it is

ringing, tap anywhere on the screen.

6- During a call, move the phone away from your ear to use the keyboard since a proximity sensor

deactivates the screen. Press the OK button to activate the loudspeaker.

7- Master the vocalisation’s different levels of enunciation for characters, words, sentences, or paragraphs

in the display and text input screens, using a zoom-in / zoom-out gesture or the gestures described in 4.5.

8- Having to load your phone’s battery every night is normal, because the internet connection on

Smartphones is very energy-consuming.

9- Remember to check for Claria updates on a regular basis by going to “8-Updates” (Paragraph 14)

10- Explore the Claria settings interface to personalize your phone using “9-Settings”.

2 v.4.2

And here are the 5 more advanced key-points, to help make sure you use Claria’s full potential.

A- With the numbers keys, navigate quickly through the menus you use most often. For example, open the

contacts list by pressing 1 then 2 from the Home screen or dial a number after having pressed 1 twice.

B- Use the Home screen to its full potential with the keyboard shortcuts (by holding the keys longer) or

voice shortcuts (accessed by pressing the Home key) to make calling or sending a text to your contacts
easier. Get the time by pressing the * (Star) key, your notifications by pressing the # (Hash) key and your
connections by pressing the Correction key. (Paragraph 5)

C- Learn how to switch between the standard Android-TalkBack interface and Claria by pressing twice

quickly on the Home button if you have activated this possibility in the Settings (“9-Settings”, “2- Android
interactions” and “1- Double click on Home”).

D- Synchronize your Google account from the standard Android interface for a better experience with your

contacts and Calendar. For this step sighted assistance may be required (Paragraph 13.4.).

E- To upload files like mp3, text or image files, Daisy or ePub books to your phone like you would do on a

USB stick or an external drive, connect Claria to your computer.

3 v.4.2

2. 2- Your phone’s keys and connections

2.1. The physical buttons of your phone: On, Off, Sleep, Go back to the Home screen

2.1.1. Position your phone and locate the Home button.

If your elastomer keypad overlay is already on the phone: the Home button will be easy to find as it is the
closest to the bottom edge in the centre.

The Home button is essential as it allows you to go back to the Home screen at any moment.

Get this habit from the start: if you want to quit an application, launch a new one or if you are lost press the
Home button to start back from a familiar point!

A double click on the Home button can also allow you to switch from the Android standard interface with

Talk Back to the Claria interface if this option is activated (See chapter “earn how to use the standard
Android environment”)

To get access to the recent or running applications, press the Home button for a few seconds. These
running applications can be closed to save the battery by pressing the Correction key above the Back key.

2.1.2. Use the “Sleep-Wake” button to turn your phone on and off, and go in and out of Sleep mode

The Sleep-Wake button is located on one side of your phone. It switches the phone on and off and in and
out of sleep mode.

Press the Sleep-Wake button for a few seconds to switch on your phone. The phone will take approximately
30 seconds to switch on completely.

To completely switch off your phone, press the Sleep-Wake button for approximately 1 second and choose
from the General options menu between the lines “1- Power off” or “4- Restart”.

Note that from this General Options menu you can also:

 Activate or deactivate airplane mode (which cuts all the phone’s connections)
 Activate or deactivate vibration mode (to mute or turn back on your phone’s ringtone)
 Leave the Claria interface to the Google Android Standard interface for the most experienced users

(to go back to Claria, double-click quickly on the Home button).

 Activate or deactivate WiFi
 Activate or deactivate GPS
 Activate or deactivate Bluetooth

To go in or out of Sleep mode, press the Sleep-Wake button. If you are getting out of sleep mode, the
phone will read the first line of the screen and if you are activating it, the phone will make a sound. You can
also get out of Sleep mode by pressing the Home button.

2.1.3. Change the volume with the volume button

Press the top of this button for the volume to go up and press the bottom to make it go down.

4 v.4.2

2.2. The keypad and its elastomer overlay: 6 navigation keys and 12 numbers keys

2.2.1. The 6 navigation keys are on the 2 first lines at the top of the keyboard.

The 6 navigation keys of the 2 top lines of the keyboard are enough to navigate throughout Claria. They are
separated from the other keys by a thin horizontal line that you can feel by running your fingers from the
bottom to the top of the keypad overlay.

The 2 central column keys are the Previous and Next keys or Up and Down arrows. Through those keys you
can navigate through the Claria interface menus. In the menus pressing the Up key reads the previous item
whereas pressing the Down key reads the next one. For an entry or text display screen, those keys allow
you to select a character, word or sentence within the text.

The OK and Back keys, essential for going from one screen to the other, are respectively right and left of
the Down arrow key, on the second line from the top.

The 2 remaining keys both have 2 different actions depending on the kind of screen you are on.

The Menu key is above the OK key on the left. It launches the voice recognition system from the entry
screens and the Home screen. For the other screens it opens the application-specific options screens.

The Correction key is above the Back key on the right. It deletes the characters from edit text screens and
gives the information on network strength, battery level, GPS, and Bluetooth from the other screens.

2.2.2. The 12 numbers keys are the 4 bottom lines of the keyboard

Under the 6 navigation keys is the standard numerical keyboard. The first row contains keys 1, 2, 3. The
second row contains keys 4, 5, 6, the third row contains 7, 8, 9 and the fourth row contains star, 0 and
hash. A dot can be found under the 5 key to spot it more easily.

In a text input screen, the keypad works similarly as on traditional buttons mobile phones. For example
press quickly two times on 2 to type the letter b or three times to type the letter c. Note that by holding
down the 2 key for a longer time, you will enter the number 2.

While on a text input screen, press the # (Hash) key (under the 9 key) to select the keypad typing mode
(mixed case, lower case, numbers).

Besides, in menus screens, you can directly type the numerical position of items to launch them. For
example, to open your contact list, press the Home button if you are not already on the Home screen, then
press 1 and 2. Pressing 1 first opens the “Phone” menu which centralizes the calling, contacts, call history
and shortcuts management functions; then, pressing 2 launches the Contact list application.

2.3. Practicing navigating through your Claria is essential at this point

All the menus are displayed as vertical lists on the screen and are numbered so that you can know how
many lines form the active menu. Claria reads the first line of the screen, and that is also the line that you
will select if you press the OK button.

When you find yourself on a screen you are not familiar with, the best reflex to have is to push on the
Down Arrow key to go down to the last item and select by pressing OK. You can then go back up to the item
that is of interest to you with the Up Arrow key and select it with OK.

If you use a function on a regular basis, you should learn the numerical shortcut to be able to access it more
quickly. For example to check out the Calls history, it is easier from the Home menu to press on 1 then 3
rather than to press OK to open the Phone screen, press 2 times on the Down arrow key and then OK again.

5 v.4.2

2.4. Supplied equipment and connections

2.4.1. Equipment supplied with your phone

The box you have received contains different items:

 The phone itself with its elastomer keypad overlay
 The battery.
 A mains supply adapter to charge your phone. Be careful with the micro-USB connector, it is

asymmetrical to help you connect it the right way and should not be forced into place

 A micro-USB cable to connect the phone to your computer. It is also asymmetrical.
 An in-ear headphone.

2.4.2. Connect your phone to the mains, a computer or a headset

Your phone also has a micro-USB port to charge it and to plug it to a computer and a jack connector to plug

your earphones. To get the full description of these diverse locations, see the “Help” section on the

website.

2.4.3. Enter the PIN number

The default settings of the PIN entry screen, show stars (*) for each number typed, to respect
confidentiality. To have Claria read out loud what you entered, press the hash (#) key, under the 9. Press OK
to confirm.

3. 3- Entering text : using the keyboard or the voice recognition :

3.1. Keyboard entries similar to the one on phones with physical keyboards

Claria’s keypad is very similar to the keypad of a traditional mobile phone with buttons. Note that Claria

uses an ABC keyboard and not predictive text. So to write “hello” you have to press 4 quickly twice for H, 3
twice for E, 5 three times quickly for L. Wait until you feel the vibration telling you the time interval
between two letters is over then press 5 again three times quickly for L and so on…

You can change the repeat delay needed to type two letters on the same key to make it more comfortable
for you. See “9-Settings” then “4- Keyboard” and “1- Repeat delay”. If you increase this Repeat delay
between two letters, it will increase the time between your pressing a key to type a letter and the vibration
confirming this letter, which means your phone is ready for the next letter. Reducing this delay will
consequently mean accelerating your typing speed.

To erase a character, press the Correction button.

To change the typing mode (from numbers to capital letters or small letters), press the hash key, under the

9. This key enables you to switch between lower case, mixed case and numbers mode.

You should also note that:

6 v.4.2

 Except for passwords and numerical fields, the first character of the entry field or the first character

after a period is a capital letter by default; the following characters are automatically typed as small
letters.

 When your keyboard is in capital or small letters typing mode, you can type a number by holding

down the corresponding key.

This way, most of the time, you can type your texts while staying on the small letters typing mode. Indeed,
the first letter of each sentence will automatically be in upper case and you can type numbers when you
need them without changing the typing mode.

3.1.1. “Special characters” distribution

The special characters’ distribution is the following:

On the “1” key: period, apostrophe, comma, question mark, exclamation mark, quotation mark.

On the “star” key: @ “at”, minus or dash, plus +, star*, forward slash/, equal sign, percent, hash, & “and”,

euro, dollar, pound, yen, paragraph

On the “0” key: space, new line (when available), colon, semi-colon, underscore, open parenthesis, closed
parenthesis, > symbol, < symbol, opened bracket, closed bracket, opened brace, closed brace, tilde (~),
vertical bar (|).

3.2. Voice recognition entry: best practices for best results

If you have a 3G/4 G or Wi-Fi internet connection, launch the voice recognition from any text input field by
pressing the Menu key (above OK).

Important: when you use the voice recognition, you must be particularly careful:

 Not to start talking before the beep noise and vibration
 To place the microphone near your mouth (a few inches away), as if you were calling someone for

example

 To remain completely silent before you start talking and enunciate the words very clearly from the

beginning: for example you must avoid starting your sentence with “Um”.

 To dictate in one go without pausing for too long as the voice recognition will stop as soon as there

is a blank.

 When you have finished dictating, stay quiet for a moment until your phone vibrates to let you

know your text has been taken into account.

Claria doesn’t insert the voice recognition results immediately but redirects you to a validation screen (or
cancellation) for the text you entered, allowing you to choose between several potential propositions.

Press the Back key to return to the text input field without inserting the vocal recognition results, or press

“OK” to insert the chosen proposition in your text. The text will then be inserted at the cursor’s current
emplacement and the enunciation level will be on “word”. You can then easily re-read the inserted text

word by word using the arrow keys.

7 v.4.2

Note that this way you can dictate a text in several takes by repeating the voice recognition several times in
a row.

3.3. Change the enunciation level to read a text while writing

In the next chapter the paragraph “change the enunciation level” in the chapter “Control the voice
synthesis” explains how to reread the text you entered by character, by word or by sentence. Whatever
your enunciation level is, you can use the “Down” and “Up” arrows to move forwards and backwards in

your text.

4. 4- Control the voice synthesis

4.1. Where to perform the voice synthesis control shortcut gestures

Claria offers immediate access to some of the voice synthesis advanced functionalities, through a few
simple gestures on the screen. Those actions have to be performed on the display part of the screen above
the navigation keys.

Note that the upper part of the screen (immediately next to the top part of the elastomer keypad overlay)
is not tactile. Make sure to perform your actions close to the first line of the elastomer keypad overlay
rather than at the top of your screen.

4.2. Stop or resume vocalisation

If your screen is active, just tap with your finger anywhere on the screen to stop the ongoing vocalisation at
any moment (or similarly, to resume it or repeat the last item read).

The tap gesture consists in pressing the screen and quickly moving your finger(s) away, without sliding it on
the screen when you touch it. To give you an idea of the speed you should target, you should be as quick as
when using a physical keyboard: the time between you touching the screen with your finger and removing
it should be approximately one third of a second.

4.3. Accelerate or slow down the reading speed of menus or texts

To change the reading speed of a screen, you have several options. You can:

1) Either go to “9- Settings”, then “3- Languages and Vocalisation” and “5- Speech Rate”. With Up and

Down arrows, you can then control the reading speed to a faster or slower level.

2) Or press one finger on the screen and simultaneously press once or several times on key number 5

to slow reading speed down, or key number 6 to make it faster. This option is available from any
screen.

3) Or press 3 fingers (usually forefinger, middle finger, ring finger) on the display area of the screen

and slide them up to make it faster or down to slow it down. Repeat this action several times to
change the speed by several levels. The best way to put your fingers is to align them horizontally
and slightly apart, 1 or 2 centimetres above the first keyboard line.

8 v.4.2

Claria has 2 reading speeds that you can control independently: one for the menus and another one for the
text display screens.

4.4. Change the reading language of a text (text message, email, etc.)

If you receive an SMS, an email or read a book in a foreign language, you can directly change the language
of the voice synthesis within a user-defined set of three reading languages. You can scroll between default
languages – the set of languages can be changed in Settings.

To do so, press a finger on the screen and simultaneously press key 7 for voice 1, key 8 for voice 2, or key 9
for voice 3.

You can perform the same action by pressing three fingers on the screen. Just tap 3 fingers (usually
forefinger, middle finger, ring finger) on the display area of the screen and move them away quite quickly
to change reading language.

In Claria settings, you can set up up to three reading languages. To do so, go from the Home screen to “9­Settings”, “3-Languages and vocalisation” and “2- Reading voices”. Please note that voice 1 is the default

reading voice.

4.5. Change the enunciation level for texts or text input screen between letter, word,

sentence and paragraph

You can change the enunciation level in the text display screen such as the text messages, emails, and
newspapers articles or edit text screens. Please note that this function is not available for other screens
such as the text messages list or email inbox.

To change the enunciation level, press one finger on the screen and simultaneously press key number 1 to
read character by character, key number 2 for word by word, key number 3 for sentence by sentence and
key number 4 for paragraph by paragraph.

To do the same thing, you can also do a zoom-in zoom-out gesture. To do so, place two fingers close
enough on the screen (for example the thumb and forefinger or forefinger and middle finger) and move
them apart while keeping the pressure on the screen. To zoom in do the exact opposite: put two fingertips
on the screen a few centimetres apart (around three centimetres) and bring them together quickly, still
touching the screen.

5. 5- Discover the Home screen

Explore the Home Screen and the main menus by using the Up and Down arrows as well as the OK and Back
keys.

5.1. Read the information regarding network, battery, time and date, and

notifications

To read the information regarding the network and battery, press the Correction key in the top right
corner.

9 v.4.2

Claria reads the network information first: Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi signal strength if the Wi-Fi is connected to a
network, then the mobile network type (3G means you have access to internet) and reception strength.
Then Claria gives you the battery charge percentage and tells you if the GPS and Bluetooth are activated.
Finally, Claria reads the name of your mobile network.

To have the phone give you the date and to know if an alarm is on press the star (*) button below the 7. To
get a recap of your notifications concerning missed calls, text messages and unread emails, press the hash
(#) key, under the 9.

5.2. Use the voice recognition system to dial a number, or select a contact to call or

write a text to

If you have an internet connection (either Wi-Fi or 3G) you can use the voice recognition to dial a number
or select contacts from the Home screen.

For this, you will have to press the Menu key.

Get used to the same practices as those described in the paragraph “3.2 -Voice recognition entry”. In
particular, you should speak distinctly after the beep and be careful not to make any sounds or noises like
“Hum…”.

5.2.1. Dialling a simple phone number

To call a number, simply dictate the wanted number. For example, press the Menu key and say “0 207 112
12 12” then press OK to confirm the call. To send a text message, press the Menu key and say “text 0 207
112 12 12” then press OK to confirm and open the text input screen. You can then use the voice recognition

to enter your text message.

5.2.2. Advanced functionalities: voice shortcuts for selecting a contact

To use voice shortcuts efficiently, you may need to “train” your Claria phone to associate intuitive vocal

instructions to the correct contact in your contacts list. In some cases, using the first name of the person
you would like to call will be sufficient for Claria to find the corresponding contact. You may sometimes
need to teach Claria to recognise the name or your contact by following the steps described below.

Let’s say for example you want to call a contact named Steve Jordan (as written in your contact list) who

happens to be your father:

- If there is only one Steve in your contact list, the easiest way to call him is to launch the voice
recognition system and say “Steve” or “call Steve”

- If you have two or more contacts named Steve, Claria will ask you to choose between the different
matching entries.

- If Claria doesn’t make the right match, you can teach it to be more precise. For example, start a

new voice recognition this time saying “call Steve Jordan”. Claria will then ask you if you wish to

create a new voice shortcut. Press OK then select the number you want among your contacts by
using the Up and Down arrow keys.

Note that nothing keeps you from associating words independently from your contacts’ First and Last
names. For example you can say “call dad”, then associate this sentence with your father’s number. If your

10 v.4.2

father has a home number and a cell phone number, you can associate the words “call dad at home” to his
home number, and ”call dad cell phone” to his cell phone.

To get the best results, you might have to record 2 or 3 voice shortcuts for some of your contacts, to cover
the involuntary variations of your pronunciation.

6. 6- Make phone calls with Claria

6.1. Make a phone call: Dial a number, answer, hang up, use the speaker

6.1.1. Dial a number

To dial a number, from the Home screen press 1 twice. It will open the “1- Phone” menu then select the
first line “1-Dial a number”

You can then dial a number using the numerical keyboard. Press OK to start the call.

You can also dictate the number you wish to call with the voice recognition by pressing the Menu key.

6.1.2. Take the phone away from your ear during a call to use the keyboard

During a call, take the phone away from your ear to use the keyboard as a proximity sensor deactivates the
screen during calls.

6.1.3. Hanging up

To hang up, you just have to press the Back key during a call. You can also decide to use the Home button
to hang up in Android accessibility settings.

6.1.4. Answer the phone and have the caller’s name read out loud.

To answer a phone call, simply press OK. To reject a call, just press the Back key. To have the caller’s name

read during the ringtone, tap anywhere on the display area with one finger. The ringtone is then muted and
the caller’s name is read by the voice synthesis system.

If you left the call screen during your conversation, press the Home button then the 1 button twice to go
back to the current call screen.

6.1.5. Use the speaker

When you are calling someone, if you want to turn the speaker on or off, just press OK.

6.1.6. Use the Call Waiting function

When you receive another call while on the phone, you can hear two consecutive beeps. To know who is
calling you, just move the phone away from your ear and press the touchscreen for the name or number of
the caller to be vocalized.

11 v.4.2

To accept this call, you need to press the OK key. To turn it down, just press the Back key. To switch from
one call to the other, you can press the Up arrow and Down arrow keys.

6.2. Browse the call log, missed calls and delete a call

The call log keeps track of the last calls you received, made or missed. To browse this history, from the
Home screen press 1 then 3. This will first open the “1-Phone” menu then the item “3-Call log”.

Note that this will reset the missed calls count at zero, in the first item “1-Phone” of the Home screen. The
number of missed calls is indeed displayed when selecting the first line of the Home screen, “1-Phone” (e.g.

“1-Phone (3)” when you have three missed calls).

Often, the fastest way to call someone you’ve already called recently is to open the call log, select the past

call to this person then press OK to call this person again.

Note that while on the call log screen you can filter the missed calls by pressing 1, the incoming calls by
pressing 2, or the outgoing calls by pressing 3.

To delete a call from the log, press the Correction key.

6.3. Call using the shortcuts with a long hold on a numerical key of the Home screen

To make calls even faster to up to 10 favourite contacts, you can assign their phone number to a numerical
key of the Home screen and start a call by holding the assigned key for a long time (more than one second).

The default settings assign the 1 key to voicemail. If your voicemail number isn’t immediately recognised by

your phone, fill it in by going from the Home screen to “1-Phone” then “4-Shortcuts” and “3-Voicemail”

To change the settings for the other keys: let’s take the example of the 2 key. Hold down the key for a few

seconds on the Home screen. If no contact is assigned to the key, Claria will ask you if you wish to assign a
contact to the “2” key shortcut. Press OK then select the contact and the phone number you wish to assign
to the key using the filtered list. From now on when you will press 2 for a few seconds on the Home screen,
you will directly call this person.

If you want to change a shortcut already assigned to a contact go to “1-Phone”, “4-Shortcuts” and select “1­Numeric shortcuts”.

6.4. Call your Voicemail

To call your voicemail, hold 1 for a few seconds from the Home screen as we described above. If you have
decided to assign another number than your voicemail on the 1 key, you can call your voicemail by
selecting “1-Phone” then “5-Voicemail”.

7. 7- Manage your contact list with Claria

7.1. Create or edit a contact entry

To create or edit a contact entry, go to “1-Phone” then “2-Contacts” from the Home screen to get to your
contact list. Press the Menu key to display the contact list application-specific menu.

12 v.4.2

Select “1-Create” to create a new contact entry or “2-Edit” to edit the entry you are on. The contact entry
form will then open.

The available fields for a Claria contact entry are the following: First Name, Last Name and Phone number.
They appear as a form with a vertical list of items you can fill in. In the application-specific menu (opened
by pressing the Menu key on the top left corner of the keypad), you can add the following optional fields:
Email, Address, Birthday, Notes, and Ringtone.

Press OK to open the field you wish to edit, type in what you want and press OK again to confirm. For

example if you want to enter “Steve” as a contact’s first name, go to the First Name field, press OK and type

the name Steve with the ABC keyboard and confirm with OK.

Once all the fields you wanted to create or edit have been edited and confirmed, go to the “Submit”

button, at the bottom on the last line of the contact form and press OK to save the new contact or the
changes you made to an existing one.

7.2. Select a contact to call or to send a text message/email to

Start the Contacts application from the Home screen by pressing 1 then 2. Select the contact you want to
send a message to by browsing through the list or use the contact filter by typing the first letter of their first
or last name.

Note that the filtered list gives you all the contacts whose first or last names start by the typed letters. If
you type the letters S, T and E for example you will get all you contacts named STEVE but also your contacts
with a last name starting by S,T and E.

Press OK to go to the contact card you selected. Select the phone number then “1-Call” or “2-Text
message” or select an email address to send an email.

7.3. Delete a contact entry

To delete a contact entry from the contact list, press the Menu key then select the third line “3-Delete” and
confirm with OK.

7.4. Import contacts from your SIM card

If you are using a Gmail account, to save your contacts, synchronize them on your phone as explained in
chapter 14 and you will get all your contacts automatically on your phone!

If not, with Claria you can still import all the contacts you have on your SIM card. To do so, after inserting
your SIM card, open your Contacts list and press the Menu key to display the contact list application-

specific menu. Select “Import from SIM card” then confirm to import all the contacts from your SIM card to

your contact list. This may take thirty seconds.

7.5. Import contacts from a Nokia file (.NBU)

If your contacts aren’t on your SIM card but directly on your phone, there are two ways to copy them on
Claria:

13 v.4.2

10. 10- Use the vision aids applications of Claria

10.1. Camera Application

10.1.1. Torch, photo and video, gallery

The Photo function enables to take pictures by pressing the OK button or just by tapping the screen in Vox
mode. Select “1- Take photo” to access it. After taking a picture, you can choose whether to directly come
back to the picture taking screen or to add a description to the picture you just took. To activate or
deactivate the flashlight, press 1. To zoom in, press the Up arrow and to zoom out, press the Down arrow.
By pressing the Menu key, you can choose the definition of the picture, the activation or deactivation of
face recognition and the default flash mode. The face recognition feature will enunciate the number of
faces that the camera recognises in the picture you are taking.

The video function (“2- Take Video”) enables to take videos by pressing OK. You will need to press OK again
in order to stop the recording. Flashlight and zoom are managed as for the pictures function. To zoom in,
press the Up arrow and to zoom out, press the Down arrow. By pressing the Menu key, you will be able to
choose the definition of the video and the default flashlight mode.

The Gallery enables to view the photos and videos stored on the memory of your phone. The Gallery
function first lists the folders containing pictures and videos. After selecting a folder, the list of pictures and
videos is displayed. Browse through the elements with the Up and Down arrows and press OK to view the
selected picture or video. Use the Menu key to edit the description of a picture, delete or get details of an
element.

On the same Menu screen, you can also decide to:

- Launch the OCR (character recognition) on the photo selected,

- Send it by email,

- Send it by MMS.

To download the pictures and videos onto your computer, plug your phone to a computer; open the DCIM
folder, and then the Camera subfolder.

The “Activate Torch” function, on the fifth row of the main menu of the Camera application, enables to use

the flashlight of the phone as a torch. It has no impact on the activation of the flashlight while taking a
picture or a video.

10.1.2. Barcode scanner

Please bear in mind that this function cannot give perfect results and might be challenging to use. We offer
this function as it can be useful and convenient, but getting an accurate result might take time and you will
probably need several takes. Indeed, the only way to get good results is to correctly align the phone to take
a well-calibrated picture of the barcode, which can be challenging with no or low vision, for instance if the
barcode is difficult to find. Sighted assistance might be useful to get more comfortable this application.

18 v.4.2

Please note that we are using the same technologies as the other barcodes readers available on
smartphones. Our tests suggest that our application is as efficient as the best ones we tested.

To launch the Barcode Scanner, open “4- Codes Scanner” from the main screen of the Camera application.
The scanner is immediately running. You can press 1 to activate or deactivate the flashlight in continuous
mode, which might improve the results depending on the object and the light conditions. By pressing the
Menu key, the Focus mode can be changed: continuous (the scanner adapts the focus to the object), Macro
(the focus is fixed to around 5 to 10 centimetres of the object), or automatic.

Once the Codes Scanner is launched, you should aim to place the object on which you wish to scan a code
10 to 15 centimetres away from the phone, and very slowly move the object in front of the camera lens to
try and find the barcode.

Once the barcode has been recognised, Claria offers to launch a barcode search on the internet, which in
most cases enables to identify the object in the first results of the web search. To access the result faster,
you can press key number 3 in order to navigate by heading through the search results.

By pressing the Menu key from the screen displaying the recognised code, you can save a voice memo or a
text note linked to this barcode. The voice memo will automatically be read the next time you scan that
code, and the note can be retrieved by pressing the Menu key.

It might take some time to get a satisfying result as the only way to take a proper picture of a Barcode is to
aim at it perfectly. Help from a sighted person for your first try can be required.

10.2. Read a document using the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) application

With the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) included in Claria, you can scan and read simple documents
(mail, restaurant menus…) very easily. This application can be particularly useful when traveling or for day­to-day use. Its results are some of the best among the existing mobile OCR applications, with one of the
shortest processing time (less than 5 seconds).

To get the best results, sighted assistance may be useful on the first few instances in order to help you take
the best position.

To launch the Optical Character Recognition from the Home screen, go to “4- Vision aids” then “1-OCR”.

The method described below consists in scanning an A4 piece of paper in two takes: first the top part, then
the bottom part of the page. You can also try to scan the A4 page in one take if the printing is not too small.

1- Place the document in vertical position in front of you (it doesn’t matter if the page is upside down) on a
flat surface (preferably with a plain and light background).

2- Place your phone on the document at a right angle with it, the tactile screen facing up (if the document is
in portrait position, then place your phone in landscape).

3- Line up the bottom of your phone on the right side of the document, so that your phone’s camera points
at the centre of the A4 page and leave a space of about 3 fingers wide between the phone and the top of
the document for a good positioning.

4- Take your phone with both hands holding it by the corners with your thumb and your middle finger and
lift it up vertically so you can put your elbows on the table and be stable while keeping a good focus on the
top of the page.

5- Tap anywhere on the screen with your forefinger, or press OK or press the volume button to take the
picture while staying as stable as you can until you heard the sound confirming the photo has been taken.
Note that in some cases it can be useful to activate the flash by pressing key 1.

19 v.4.2

6- The Optical Character Recognition will then read out loud your document, turning it around by itself if it
is upside down. The processing usually lasts less than 5 seconds. If nothing happens after 10 seconds, go
back to the previous screen by pressing the Back key and take another picture.

To maximize the quality of the OCR, there are three main guidelines to follow:

- The optical parts of the camera being very light sensitive, it is important to have enough light on

your page and not too much shadow (flash can be used by pressing 1 to overcome this difficulty).

- For the picture to be clear, it is essential that you stay very stable while taking it.

- And last, to scan an A4 document it sometimes is easier to do the OCR in two times: first the top of

the page then the bottom.

Once you have scanned a document, you have the possibility to save the recognised text, the picture
corresponding to the text or both. To do so, press the Menu key from the reading screen and select the
preferred option.

Please note that the recognised text will be save as a Claria note accessible in the Note application (“5­Utilities” then “5- Note”).

The picture will be saved in the Photo Gallery and you will be able to retrieve it from the memory of your

Claria in folder DCIM, subfolder OCR.

You can also decide to read documents in different languages with the OCR application. To do so, just press
the Menu key when OCR is ready and select the scanning language between German, French, English,
Spanish, Italian or Dutch.

10.3. Identify a colour of your environment using the Colour application.

To start the Colour application from the Home screen, use “4-Vision aids” then select “2- Colour”.

To identify a colour, you just have to point the phone’s camera towards a surface about 5 to 10 cm away,

and Claria will tell you what colour it is. You can either wait for the application to say the colour by itself or
force it by tapping anywhere on the screen with a finger.

You can activate or deactivate the flash by pressing OK if the environment isn’t bright enough.

Very dark or light colours are more difficult to identify for the Colour application for now.

10.4. Check the light intensity using the Light Sensor Application

The light sensor application makes a more or less high sound depending on the intensity of the light
detected by the camera sensor. You can use this information to know whether the light is on or off in a
room as well as to identify the light sources or openings (doors, windows).

It is also possible to use this application to know whether you switch on or switch off the lights when
manipulating a switch. To do so, press the Menu key to stop the sound, and just before auctioning the
switch press OK to record the current light intensity as a benchmark. Shortly after that, a light vibration of
the phone indicates that you can activate the switch. The application will then tell you if the light was just
switched on or off.

11. 11- Claria utilities

11.1. Drag and drop files from your Computer onto Claria

Some applications are made even more interesting by the possibility of transferring files from your
computer to your phone and the other way around. This is possible of course for Notes and Voice memos
applications, but also for the MP3 player and Book reader.

For this you have to:

- Connect your phone to your computer using the supplied USB cable.

- If necessary, your computer will install the drivers for the phone. This can take some time for the first
connection. It will then appear just like a USB flash drive or an external hard drive.

- Then you can drag and drop the files you want from your computer to the file of your choice in the

memory of your phone (Claria Note for Notes, Claria Book for the Book Reader’s books, DCIM for videos or

photos, Music for the music files of the MP3 player and Alarms to add an alarm ringtone).

- Unplug your phone.

11.2. Alarm application

The Alarm application available in the menu “5- Utilities” and “1- Alarm” gives you the possibility to create
recurring or occasional alarms.

When your alarm rings, remember that your screen is activated. A menu screen will be displayed on which

the first line is “Stop” and the second line “Snooze 10 minutes”. To stop the alarm, you just have to select

the first line by pressing OK but you can also press 2 to push back the alarm 10 minutes if you want to keep
sleeping for a little while for instance.

Note that for the alarm to ring, the phone has to be in sleep mode, even if you have to set the airplane
mode. If you switch your Claria off completely it will not ring.

The first line of the main screen of the application is 1-Create alarm, then the list of already programmed
alarms.

To create an alarm select “1-Create alarm”. It will open the alarm creation form. You can start by entering
the time of your alarm by typing 4 numbers (hour hour minute minute), or 2 numbers if it is an exact time
(hour hour).

Then press OK to change the repeat parameters which enable you to set up your alarm on given days. On
the repeat screen, press OK to select or unselect the days you want your alarm to ring and on the “Back”
key to save your changes.

The other fields are optional. You then save your alarm by pressing OK on the sixth line of the creation form
(Submit field).

To use an existing alarm, select it and press OK. A menu will ask you on the first line if you want to activate
or deactivate it, on the second line if you want to edit it and on the last line if you want to delete it.

21 v.4.2

Finally, on the Home screen, press the Star (*) button under the 7 to check the number of activated alarms.
This number is given after the date.

It is also possible to add new Alarm ringtones. To do so, just connect your Claria to your computer (as
explained in paragraph 11.1. above) and drag and drop an audio file (frequently mp3) in the Alarms folder
before disconnecting your phone. The new ringtone will appear on the last row of the ringtones list upon
the creation of an alarm.

11.3. The GPS Application

Claria is provided with a pedestrian and car GPS using Google Maps data to guide you on short distance
itineraries. Using your GPS requires an internet connection (Wi-Fi or 3G). A 3G connection with your
telecom operator subscription is necessary for a completely mobile use.

The itineraries must be considered as guidelines only and you may have to follow a different path than the
one calculated if you encounter construction work, traffic jams, difficult weather conditions, diversions or
other problems. Please take this into account when preparing your travel.

To start the GPS from the Home screen, press “5- Utilities” then “2- GPS”.

Important: do not forget to switch on the GPS sensor before launching the application. You can do that

from the General Options menu by pressing the “Sleep-Wake” button for two seconds, or from the Home
screen by going to “9- Settings”, “1- Connections” and “3- GPS” (“1- WiFi”).

11.3.1. Choose an itinerary and let Claria guide you

There are two different ways to program an itinerary:

- By selecting “1- Destination only” in the GPS menu, you choose only your destination. Claria takes your
current position as your starting point.

- By selecting “2- Start and destination” in the GPS Menu, you can choose both your starting point and

destination. This can be useful when preparing a trip or to specify your starting point if the GPS doesn’t

automatically detect your exact position, especially if you are inside a building.

To enter an address you can type it with the ABC keyboard, enter it vocally or select it in your favourite
addresses list.

To enter a place using the voice recognition system, you have to speak very clearly and specify the city or
zip code (for example: 10, Downing Street, London).

Once you have set your starting point and destination, Claria calculates your itinerary and presents it as a
list of directions guiding you step by step to your destination. You can check if the itinerary suits you if you
already know it by going through the list with the Up and Down arrow keys.

Then, Claria informs you automatically through your earphones or speaker of the direction you have to take
while you go, until you reach the final destination.

From an itinerary screen, you can access the following options by pressing the Menu key:

- “1- Current Location”/”Where am I”: to get the address the closest from your current position

22 v.4.2

- “2- Current location during navigation”: to activate the “Current location”/”Where am I” function during
your journey. Claria will give you the closest address to your location while you move.

- “3-Update itinerary”: to update your itinerary if you think your path changed from the initial itinerary (you
will need an internet connection).

- “4-Save route”: to save your itinerary and consult it offline. Attention: while consulting your itinerary
offline (without any internet connection), you will not be able to use real-time guidance.

11.3.2. Get your position

By selecting ”3-Current Location”/”Where am I” in the GPS menu, Claria gives you the address which is the
closest to your current position depending on the available GPS data, as well as orientation indications. The
cardinal point indicated in this function is the one towards which the top part of your phone is pointing
when held in horizontal position, parallel to the floor. To get more accurate results for this particular
element, it is recommended to move your phone in a figure 8 a few times; this will help calibrate the
compass. It is also possible to use an experimental function indicating on which side odd/even numbered
houses are. This function needs to be activated in the Parameters menu.

11.3.3. Manage your address book

You can save your favourite addresses so you can access them more easily for your next itinerary.

To access your favourite addresses, select “4-My addresses” in the GPS menu. A list of your favourite
addresses will be displayed.

To save a new address press Menu then select “1-Create an address”.

There are two different ways to enter an address:

- Through the voice recognition system. You will have to speak very clearly and specify the city or zip code
(for example: 10 Downing Street, London).

- By typing it manually using the ABC keyboard.

To delete an address from your address book, go to the address you want to delete then Press Menu and
select “2-Delete address”.

11.3.4. Manage your routes

You can save your most frequently used routes to avoid having to enter the settings of your journey every
time you need to access it.

To retrieve your saved itineraries, select “5-My routes” from the GPS menu.

If you wish to consult an itinerary, select the chosen route and validate by pressing OK.

If you want to delete an itinerary from your favourite routes list, select that itinerary, press the application­specific menu key and validate to delete.

11.3.5. Choose your GPS settings

The Claria GPS can be used in car mode. To change the travel mode, select “6-Settings” from the GPS Menu
and validate. Then press “1-Travel Mode” and select “2-Driving”.

23 v.4.2

Other navigation options are available in the Settings menu. You can set the alert radius in “2-Alert radius”
– this calibrates how long before a change of direction you wish to be informed by your GPS (e.g. 20 or 25

meters before intersections). Use the Up and Down arrows to change this parameter.

You can also change the repetition interval of the “Current Location”/”Where am I” function in “3-Current
Location refresh frequency”.

Finally, it is possible to activate the numbering function in “4-Numbering”. This experimental function
indicates which numbers (odd or even) are on your right side, at the end of the “Current Location”

information.

11.4. Calendar/Agenda

The Calendar/Agenda application enables you to easily manage your schedule.

To open the Calendar application, select from the Home Screen “5- Utilities” then “3- Calendar”/”Agenda”.
The main screen presents the list of all the events of your calendar by chronological order with the events
of the day on the first line.

By pressing the Up arrow, you can scroll up to the older events and with the Down arrow, scroll down to
future events. To move more rapidly in time, use keys 4 and 7 to move day by day, 5 and 8 to move week
by week, and 6 and 9 to move month by month. Select the event of your choice, then press OK to read its
detailed content.

To create a new event, press the Menu key from the main screen of the application and select “1- New
event”. The event creation form then shows the following fields: event title, from date, from time, until

date, until time. By pressing the Menu key, you can also choose to add a description, a location and a
reminder.

The Reminder field enables you to setup a ringtone in order to remind you the event so that you never miss
an appointment again. You can select how long before the event you would like the phone to activate the
reminder.

As we will see in chapter 14, you can synchronise your Google account with Claria. If you use Google
Calendar on your computer, all your events and calendars will automatically be synchronized with your

Claria and will appear in the Calendar application.

Please note that recurring events are not yet handled by this first version of the application (neither in read
nor write mode).

11.5. Calculator

The Calculator app enables you to make simple operations very easily. You can find it in 5- utilities then 4­Calculator.

With the Star key, you can enter signs for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division.

With the Hash key, you can enter signs such as period, left and right parenthesis and percentage.

To know the result, press the OK key.

To read the operation, single tap on the screen with one finger.

24 v.4.2

11.6. Weather Application

Claria offers a Weather Application, enabling to consult weather forecasts up to 10 days.

When opening the application, Claria automatically detects your current location and gives you information
on your city: date, weather forecast, minimal and maximal temperature and wind speed. Using the Up and
Down arrows, you can move chronologically to get forecasts for the following days (up to 10 days).

To get weather forecasts for another city, press the application-specific Menu key and select “1-Select city”.
Your previous searches will be available in the history, from the third line of the application-specific menu.

The default temperature unit is Celsius degrees. It is however possible to switch to Fahrenheit degrees in
“7-Choose temperature unit”.

This application requires an internet connection as well as the activation of the localization feature (via WiFi
and mobile network). This can be done in “9-Settings”, then “1-Connections”, “3-GPS” and “2-Localization”
via Wifi and mobile network.

11.7. Voice Memo Application

The Voice Memo application is a Dictaphone that gives you the possibility to save vocal notes and play
them back later.

To launch the Voice Memo application from the Home screen, just go to “5- Utilities” and “4- Voice Memo”.

The first line of the main screen of the application is “new record” and the other lines are the list of the

memos you have recorded. Note that you can filter this list. You can then very easily find a memo if you
have given it a specific title.

2. 13- Specific Doro features

2.1. Assistance button

The Assistance button is at the rear of your device, just under the camera.

The assistance button makes it easy to contact the help numbers you have predefined in the Assistance
number list.

Before the assistance button can be used, the assistance function has to be activated, phone numbers
added to the number list and, the text message edited with the information you want to send.

To activate the assistance button:

• Press and hold the assistance button for 3 seconds, or press it twice within 1 second. The assistance call
begins after a delay of 5 seconds. In this time you can prevent a possible false alarm by pressing Cancel.

• An assistance text message (SMS) is sent to all recipients.

• A positioning text message (SMS) with your GPS coordinates is sent to all recipients.

• The first recipient in the list is dialled. If the call is not answered within 25 seconds, the next number is

dialled. Dialling is repeated 3 times or until the call is answered, or until Cancel is pressed.

Please note that to send the text messages or call recipients, you will need to have credit on your phone,
whether you are under a contract or a pay as you go system.

To set up the Assistance button from the Home screen, go to 1-Phone and 6-Assistance button
configuration.

To select how to activate the assistance button, you can choose between three different options:

- 1- Off to disable the Assistance button,

- 2- On normal to activate by pressing and holding the button for approximately 3 seconds, or press

it twice within 1 second.,

- 3-On (3) to activate assistance button by pressing the button 3 times within 1 second.

Once done, you can then scroll down to 2-Assistance numbers list to enter up to five numbers.

Please note that you can either choose a contact from the contact list of your phone or dial a number

IMPORTANT! Always inform the recipients that they are listed as your assistance contacts.

The third option from the Assistance settings menu allows you to enable/disable and customise the text
message.

The fourth option from the Assistance button settings menu allows you to enable/disable the second text
message including your GPS coordinates.

The option 5-Signal type allows you to choose the noise the phone will make before starting the assistance
sequence. You have three different options to choose from: High, Low or silent.

33 v.4.2

The last option 6-Home location allows you to save your GPS coordinates within the phone. Please note
that your GPS needs to be activated to be used within the assistance call.

2.2. Audio features

If you use a hearing aid or have hearing difficulties when using the telephone in a noisy environment, you
can customise the phones audio settings.

From your Home menu, go to 9-Settings, then 6-Sound and volume and 1-Choose Profile to set up your
audio settings from 1-Normal for normal hearing in normal conditions, 2-High for moderate hearing
impairment or use in a very noisy environment to 3-HAC mode, for use with hearing aid.

The Doro Claria phone is hearing aid compatible (HAC). However, please note that hearing aid compatibility
does not guarantee that a specific hearing aid would perfectly work with a specific phone. Mobile phones
contain indeed radio transmitters that may interfere with hearing aid performances. This phone has been
tested for use with hearing aids, especially for some of the wireless technologies that it uses, but there may
be some newer wireless technologies that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. To ensure
that a specific hearing aid is compatible with the Doro Claria phone, please try them together before
purchasing the device.

The standard for hearing aid compatibility contains two types of ratings:

- M: To use your hearing aid in this mode, make sure that your hearing aid is set to "M-mode" or

acoustic coupling mode, and position the telephone's receiver near the hearing aid’s built-in
microphone. In order to obtain better results, try using the phone in different positions relative to
your hearing aid—for example, placing the receiver slightly above the ear may result in better
performance for hearing aids with microphones positioned behind the ear.

- T: To use your hearing aid in this mode, make sure that your hearing aid is set to "T-mode" or

coupling mode (please note that some hearing aids do not have this mode available). For the best
results, try using the telephone in different positions relative to your hearing aid—for example,
placing the receiver slightly below or in front of the ear may result in better performance.

3. 14- Learn how to use the standard Android environment

In this chapter we will explain how to use the standard Android environment to make your experience of
Claria more powerful. Indeed, Android standard is the native operating system of your phone powered by
Google. It gives you the possibility to access over six hundred thousand applications developed for Android
and available online on Google’s online shop, Google Play Store.

Note that when you restart your phone, you will automatically be brought back to the Claria interface.

3.1. Use TalkBack to navigate through the standard Android interface

TalkBack is the screen reader designed by Google for Android. In the default settings, when you go from the
Claria interface to the Android interface, TalkBack is already activated and reads all of the Android screens.
You can change this setting by going to “9-Settings” then “2- Android interactions” and “2-Talkback”
(Careful: this means that when you go to the Android interface, you can find yourself on non-vocalized
screens!)

34 v.4.2

At any time, you can return to the Claria interface by double clicking on the Home button.

Don’t hesitate to take off the elastomer keypad overlay to use the whole screen when you are on the
Android standard interface with Talkback.

To help you navigate in the Android interface, you will find below a description of a few gestures enabling
you to use Talkback in Android:

 Slide one finger: explore your screen and hear audio commentaries on what you are touching
 Press twice anywhere on the screen: open or activate the latest element you touched
 Slide two fingers up or down: scroll up or down lists and pages
 Slide two fingers left or right: switch page or screen
 Slide finger right (or down): skip to next item
 Slide finger left (or up): skip to previous item
 Slide finger down then up in a single movement: skip to the next reading level while reading text

blocks, then slide finger to the right to keep reading or to the left to go back

 Slide finger up then down in a single movement: skip to the previous reading level while reading

text blocks, then slide finger to the right to keep reading or to the left to go back

 Slide finger to the right then to the left in a single movement: skip to next information
 Slide finger to the left then to the right in a single movement: skip to previous information.

While exploring the screen with one finger, you can use another finger to press twice and open an
application, a widget, etc.

The Claria interface is way easier to use than Talkback for most usual actions but if you feel capable of
learning how to use it or already know how to, you will be able to enjoy a complete access to all Android
applications.

Example: You can enjoy the convenience and ease of use of Claria during the day, then take a few minutes
to go to the standard Android interface to check your favorite newspaper application, if it can be accessed
through Talkback, before going back to the Claria interface.

3.2. Starting Android applications from Claria

On the Claria Home screen, select “7-Android applications” to see the list of the Android applications
installed on your phone.

Pressing OK will then start the selected application and Talkback will take over the Claria screen reader. The
screens will then no longer be optimized for the Claria elastomer keypad overlay and you will need to use
the tactile screen to interact with your apps (using the gestures described above). You should therefore
remove the overlay to use the Android standard platform. Pressing the Home button will get you back to
the Claria interface.

By starting the Google Play Store application, you will be able to download the Android applications you
want among hundreds of thousands of applications available on the store.

All the new applications you install will automatically appear in the Android applications list and you will be
able to start them from the Claria interface.

35 v.4.2

3.3. Change interfaces: learn how to go from Claria to Android

It is very important that you master the change of interface between Claria and Android.

The default settings enable to switch to the standard Android interface from Claria only by pressing the
Sleep-Wake button for 2 seconds and selecting line “5-Exit Claria”. You can then very easily go back to the
Claria interface by pressing the Home button twice quickly.

For more experienced users who would want to change interfaces on a regular basis, it is possible to make
this change easier by having the same switch procedure in the two interfaces and changing interfaces by

pressing the Home button twice quickly. To allow this, from the Home screen go to “9-Settings” then “2­Android interactions”, then “1-Home button double click”.

When activated, the double click on the Home button changes the default settings for the interface on your
phone. For example if you were in the Claria interface, a simple click on the Home button opens the Claria
Home Screen whereas a quick double click will start the Android standard interface. From this moment on,
if you click on the Home button again, you will come back to the Android standard Home Screen. To go
back to Claria, you will need to click twice quickly on the Home button.

3.4. Set up a Google account to synchronize your contacts and calendars

What is interesting with Android is that you can easily synchronize your Gmail account with your phone so
you can easily access your contacts, calendars and emails.

For technical reasons we were unfortunately unable to integrate those settings in Claria. Nevertheless we
encourage you to synchronize your information through the standard Android interface either by yourself
using TalkBack or with the help of someone around you.

To synchronize or create your Google account, go to the Android interface then select the application

button just above the Home button and find the Settings icon. In the Settings go to “Accounts- Add
account”, select Google and enter your Google email account information or create a new one. Through

this action the Claria Contacts and Calendars applications will be synchronized with your Gmail data.

For the Claria Email application, you have to enter your email address and password manually in the Claria
interface as explained previously in this guide.

3.5. Download new voice synthesis

If the voice installed on Claria doesn’t suit you, you can download new ones. For this, go to the Google Play
Store by pressing “7-Android applications” then selecting “Google Play Store”.

You then need to download the right application on your phone and install the synthesis of your choice.
You will need to indicate your credit card information to buy the new voice.

We would advise you to get some help from someone for the next steps.

For example, to install an Acapela voice, here are the steps to follow:

0) With a new device, you will need to create a Google account in order to access the PlayStore and

enter a payment card if needed.

1) Then, go to the Google Play Store and choose “Acapela TTS Voices”

36 v.4.2

2) Launch the Acapela TTS Voices application and choose your preferred voice (you can hear it before

purchasing)

3) Purchase your preferred voice (usually around £3) and launch the download. Your voice is now

installed and accessible via Claria by choosing “9- Settings” then “3- Language and vocalisation” (cf
chapter 15.3.1. in this guide).

The following link published by Acapela details the installation process of a voice: http://www.acapela-for-

android.com/acapela-tts-voices-home/acapela-tts-voices-installation-instructions

4. 15- Install the Claria software updates

In the next months or years, the Claria software is going to evolve and be improved by the development of
new applications and the improvement of existing ones.

You will be able to download these updates to enjoy the improvement of your applications and of the Claria
interface.

To install those updates, you should visit from the Home screen the item “8- Updates” on a regular basis.
In this section you will find all new updates so you can install them on your phone as soon as they are
available. You do not need to connect to your computer.

We strongly advise you to connect your phone with the Wi-Fi while downloading those updates and to
have at least 50% of battery charge.

The application updates are displayed over three submenus: major updates (the most important
evolutions), then minor updates (no new functionalities but small fixes), and finally the new applications.

To update the Claria system, first go to “4-System update” to download the new version of the software.
This kind of update is less frequent. Those files take a lot of space (Up to 200Mo) and take time to
download. Follow the instructions to install the new software. This will restart your phone automatically
and can take up to 2 or 3 minutes.

To receive the details of available updates, you will be asked to enter a few personal information in the
Updates application.

37 v.4.2

5. 16- Change your Phone settings according to your needs

To change your phone settings according to your needs go to the Claria settings by selecting “9-Settings” on
the Home screen.

password if necessary using the ABC keyboard, and press OK. Your phone then connects to the
desired network and indicates it is connected.

If this is the first time you attempt to connect to a Wifi network, we would recommend to ask someone
around you to help you connect.

The two most common mistakes while trying to connect to Wifi are: either entering the wrong password
which is usually long and alternates numbers, upper and lower case letters, or connect to a public network
that can only be used temporarily and requires a complex identification through the web browser.

5.1.2. Connect an external device in Bluetooth (headset, headphones, keyboard, Braille display…)

Claria enables you to associate external device to your phone such as a Blueetooth headset, an external
QWERTY keyboard or a Braille display.

To do so, from the Home screen go to “9- Settings” then “1- Connections” and “2- Bluetooth”. You are now
in the Bluetooth menu with on the first line the possibility to browse through the list of the devices which
have been associated with your phone. By pressing OK on one of those devices, you can rename it,
dissociate it or launch the connection. Once your external device is connected, the third line of the screen
indicates disconnect (instead of connect).

On the second line of the Bluetooth menu you can launch a search of accessible Bluetooth devices in your
surroundings. To ensure your external device is detected, please make sure to switch it on and activate
Blueetooth. Select the chosen device by pressing OK. Claria then indicates the confirmation password
which will ensure a secured connection with your external device. By accepting this message on both
devices you will connect them.

38 v.4.2

appropriate to your mobile network. If you are connected to the wrong APN, it may prevent you
from connecting to the Internet.

- In Android 4.4, choose the default Text message App to use : Claria SMS by default

5.1.5. Activate or deactivate airplane mode

From the Home screen, go to “9- Settings” then “1- Connections” and “5- Enable airplane mode” to switch
off instantly all the connections of your phone (Wifi, 3G, GPS, Bluetooth).

This mode can be convenient when you are travelling by plane but also by night to make sure you won’t be
disturbed while not having to switch off completely your phone.

5.1.6. Activate or deactivate NFC (Near Field Communication) – if available

From the Home screen, go to “9- Settings” then “1- Connections” and “6-NFC on/off” to activate or

Bluetooth network from your mobile connection.

5.2. Control your interactions with the standard Android interface

In the menu “9- Settings”, press “2- Android interactions” to access the following parameters:

5.2.1. Home button double click

For experienced users who wish to switch regularly between Claria and standard Android interfaces, this
parameter simplifies the way you can move from one interface to the other.

When activated, double clicking rapidly on the Home button changes the interface of your phone.

This setting is deactivated by default.

5.2.2. Talkback

This setting activates or deactivates the TalkBack screen reader for Android applications. See the paragraph
“Use TalkBack to navigate the standard Android interface” for more information.

It is activated in the default settings but it can be useful to know how to change it if you let someone you
know use your phone in standard Android mode.

5.2.3. Android Zoom

This parameter activates or deactivates the possibility to zoom on any screen of the standard Android
interface by a triple tap with one finger on the screen.

When this functionality is activated, you can temporarily increase the size of what is under your finger or
use the Magnifier mode to zoom in or panoramically on your screen. This option is particularly suitable for
partially sighted users.

Note: the “Press three times to increase size” functionality works everywhere except for the keypad and

the navigation buttons.

A few movements are necessary to fully control this functionality:

- Temporarily increase size: tap three times, leaving your finger longer on the last tap

- Increase size and do a panoramic zoom: tap three times, leaving your finger longer on the last tap

then slide your finger

- Activate or deactivate the Magnifier mode: tap three times on the screen then lift your finger, or

enter into an application or exit it to deactivate the Magnifier mode

- While on Magnifier mode, you can perform one of those actions:

o Do a panoramic zoom: slide two fingers or more on the screen
o Change zoom level: widen or pinch closer two fingers or more.

This parameter is switched off in default settings.

40 v.4.2

5.3. Choose the main voice and reading voices, control the voice speed, set the voice

recognition and keyboard languages

In the “9- Settings” menu press “3-Languages and Vocalisation” to access the following parameters:

5.3.1. Main Voice

In “1- Main voice”, you have the possibility to choose the language of the menus of Claria, then the text-to-
speech engine of your choice.

Currently, two languages (English and French) are offered in the Claria interface. Important: switching to
French in this setting implies having all menus described in French.

Text-to-speech voices you might have downloaded on the Play Store will be set up at this level.

5.3.2. Reading Voices

By going to “2- Reading voices”, you will be able to choose languages and text-to-speech engines that will
be used to read texts fields (SMS, emails, books, articles, etc.)

To read a text, you can choose between three voices/reading languages. This is particularly useful if you
receive an email in French or want to read an article in Spanish for instance.

By default, texts are read with voice 1. If you wish to read a text with voice 2 or 3, press one finger on the
screen and simultaneously press key number 7 for voice 1, number 8 for voice 2 or number 9 for voice 3, or
press the screen with three fingers (ring finger, middle finger and index finger).

By default, available languages for reading voices are: German, English, Spanish, French and Italian.

5.3.3. Voice recognition language

In “3- Voice reco”, you can choose the language of the voice recognition with which you wish to dictate a
text (SMS, mail, note).

5.3.4. Keyboard language

In “4- Keyboard”, you can choose the type of keyboard displayed in text input screens. Two keyboards are
available at this stage: French and English. The main difference is that the English keyboard does not
contain accents.

5.3.5. Speech rate

There are two types of speech rate parameters in Claria: one for the main voice (interface menus) and one
for reading voices (in text reading screens). In “5- Speech rate”, you will be able to change those rates using
the Up arrow key to increase speed and Down arrow to reduce it.

5.3.6. Android voice

In “6- Android voice”, you can choose the language and the text-to-speech engine used by Talkback in
Android standard screens.

41 v.4.2

5.4. Set repeat delay and keypad vibrations, set up your Braille display or your

external Bluetooth keyboard

5.4.1. Repeat delay

You can change the repeat delay needed to type two letters on the same key to make it more comfortable
for you. See “9-Settings” then “4- Keyboard” and “1- Repeat delay”. If you increase this repeat delay
between two letters, it will increase the time between your pressing a key to type a letter and the vibration
confirming this letter, which means your phone is ready for the next letter. Reducing this time will
consequently mean accelerating your typing speed.

5.4.2. Key press feedback

Through this setting you can choose what your phone does when you press a key. 4 options are available:

- No feedback: Pressing the key doesn’t set off any vibration or sound. This is not recommended in most
cases.

- Vibration: Pressing a key triggers a light vibration to show your action has been taken into account.

- Sound: Pressing a key makes a light sound to show your action has been taken into account.

- Vibration and sound: pressing a key triggers a sound and a vibration to show your action has been taken
into account (default setting).

5.4.3. Keyboard vibration

Parameters “4- Vibration duration” and “5- Vibration intensity” allow you to control the vibrations of the
keyboard.

5.4.4. Keyboard sensitivity

Setting “8- Sensitivity” enables you to choose the sensitivity of the Claria keyboard. The default sensitivity
level is Normal.

5.4.5. Hardware keyboard type

Three types of keyboards are available as external devices and for standard Android interface:

- AZERTY (European) keyboards supporting Claria shortcuts

- QWERTY (English) keyboards supporting Claria shortcuts

- Standard Android keyboard not supporting Claria shortcuts (recommended for standard Android

interface when no Bluetooth keyboard is connected).

To simplify access to Claria functionalities, AZERTY and QWERTY modes offer shortcuts:

- Ctrl + H corresponds to pressing the Home button

- Ctrl + J corresponds to pressing the Menu key (the J key is often distinguished by a pin)

- Enter corresponds to the OK key outside of text input fields

42 v.4.2

- Esc corresponds to pressing the Back key

- Up arrow corresponds to pressing the Up arrow key

- Down arrow corresponds to pressing the Down arrow key

- Right arrow corresponds to pressing the OK key outside of text input fields

- Left arrow corresponds to pressing the Back key outside of text input fields

- Ctrl + Backspace corresponds to pressing the Correction key outside of text edit fields

- If it exists, the Menu key corresponds to pressing the Claria Menu key

- F1 enables you to put your Claria in sleep mode (to get out of sleep mode, press any key then

Enter)

- Numerical keys enable you to browse through menus like you would do with the Claria keyboard

In text inputs fields:

- Backspace corresponds to pressing the Correction key

- Control+Enter or Control+Right arrow corresponds to pressing the OK key

- Ctrl+Esc or Control+Left arrow corresponds to pressing the Back key

5.4.6. Braille display

As a reminder, the Braille displays compatible with Claria are in principle similar to those compatible with

Android’s BrailleBack solution. For instance, the following Braille devices are compatible: APH

Refreshabraille ; EuroBraille Esys range ; Freedom Scientific Focus Blue (14 and 40 characters); HandyTech
Ranges Basic Braille, Active Braille and Braille Star, Braille Wave, Braillino and Easy Braille; Harpo Braillepen
12 ; HIMS BrailleSense and Braille EDGE ranges ; Humanware Brailliant range (1st generation and BI) ;
Optelec Alva (BC640, BC680); Papenmeier Braillex Trio ; Baum VarioConnect ; Seika (40 characters and
notepad).

To access your Braille display settings you can either go to 9- Settings then 4- Keyboard and 7- Braille
display. You will find there a list of shortcuts enabling you to use Braille keys combinations to activate Claria
functions (Home button, OK or Back key, etc) depending on your device.

By pressing the equivalent of a number in Braille, you activate the corresponding key and can therefore
browse easily into Claria menus. For instance, by pressing 1+6 buttons in the Braille display, you activate
key number 1 on the phone. In a similar way, the Braille shortcut to the Hash key (keys 3+4+5+6+7+8) from
a Menu screen will enunciate the notifications, and the Braille shortcut to the star key (3+5) will give you
access to the date, time, and number of activated alarms.

In default settings, the display is in Computer braille (8 dots). It is possible to set the display in Grade 1 or
Grade 2 Braille (6 dots). However text input fields will only support computer Braille (8 dots).

When we developed this guide, a few Claria applications like Colour or Light sensors did not support Braille
properly. This will be fixed in upcoming updates.

To use your braille display in the Android interface, you will need to download the Brailleback application in
the Google Play Store and activate it in accessibility settings.

5.5. Change the time before your screen goes into sleep mode and locks itself

To exit from sleep mode, press the Home button or the Sleep/Wake button.

5.5.2. Locking the screen

On this screen you can choose whether to lock your screen or not when it goes into sleep mode to avoid
pushing the buttons on the screen if you activate the screen unknowingly.

Two lock modes are available:

- Slide: this mode implies that you will need to slide one finger on the screen to exit sleep mode

- Passcode: this mode implies that you will need to enter a numerical code (in general 4 digits) to exit

sleep mode

“Slide to unlock” is the default setting.

5.6. Control the volume of the voice synthesis, choose your ringtone and control its

volume

In the “9-Settings” menu, select “6-Sound and Volume” to access the following parameters:
