Users can use our free app or voice commands to change caption display features (size, position, brightness, and language).
Everyone is different and has individual preferences. Our default setting projects captions in a medium-sized font, centered across at the bottom of the wearer's field of view. And we provide two different ways to adjust several features of the caption display.
You can view captions in three sizes: Small, Medium, and Large. The size you choose affects the number of lines of captions that display at once. If you choose “small,” the text will display in a smaller font, and you’ll see more text displayed at once. If you choose the “large” text size, words will appear bigger, and fewer lines of text will be visible at one time.
1. XanderGlasses companion app
The easiest way to experiment with caption customizations is to download the XanderGlasses companion app on a smartphone. The free app works with both i-Phone and Android devices and allows users to customize certain display features, including the font size, position in your field of view, brightness, and language.
Please note: the app is not required to use the glasses. The companion app enables you to customize the display and receive free software updates.
2. Voice Commands
If you don’t have a smartphone, you can use simple voice commands to customize the size and position of the caption display.
Changing the caption size with voice commands
Make sure that the glasses are not actively captioning. Wait until there’s a pause in the conversation so the glasses can tell that you are issuing a command. Speaking clearly and in an authoritative voice, state the command that matches the size of captions you want:- “Command Small”
- “Command Medium”
- “Command Large”
Changing the caption position with voice commands
Make sure that the glasses are not actively captioning. Wait until there’s a pause in the conversation so the glasses can differentiate the command from the conversation. Speaking clearly and in an authoritative voice, state the command that matches where you want the captions to display.
- “Command Top”
- “Command Left”
- “Command Center”
Try different combinations of position and size to find what is most comfortable for you. Some users discover that they prefer seeing the captions appear in different positions in different situations.
