Introduction
WYNN ® (What You Need Now) is a software program for people who struggle
with reading and writing. The features in WYNN allow you to:
Acquire (that is, scan with a flatbed scanner, snap a picture with the
PEARL document camera, or import with the Freedom Import Printer)
documents, such as textbook passages, memos, or magazine articles,
into WYNN and save them
Open a document or Web page and have WYNN read it aloud to you
Easily change the way the text looks to make it easier to read
Use writing tools to make writing assignments easier
Use study tools to help you learn
WYNN uses a series of color-coded toolbars to help you quickly access
reading and writing assignments (see blue File Management toolbar below).
You can do almost everything using the buttons on the toolbars that appear
across the top of the screen. For more information, see Book 1: Getting
Started.
WYNN Wizard and WYNN Reader
Two versions of WYNN software are available: WYNN Wizard and WYNN
Reader.
WYNN Wizard is a full-featured application that includes:
Optical character recognition (OCR), which allows you to acquire and
read pages, as well as read existing word processing and text files
Document composition and editing tools like word prediction, spell
checking, and homophone recognition

2
The ability to browse the World Wide Web to assist with topic research
Traditional study aids like highlighting, bookmarking, outlining, and
dictionary and thesaurus usage
Visual and auditory adjustments to make it easier to read and
comprehend documents
Numerous licensing types, including single-user, multi-user, network, and
take-home licensing
WYNN Reader includes the same features and functionality that are in WYNN
Wizard, except for scanning and OCR capabilities. Use WYNN Reader to read
electronic documents, create or edit documents, and browse the Internet for
document research.
Stand-alone and Network Versions
Both WYNN Wizard and WYNN Reader are available as stand-alone or
network licensed products. The stand-alone version easily installs onto a single
computer, while the network version allows as many clients as possible, based
on the number of licenses purchased, to use the software at once over a local
area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN) including both wired and
wireless networks.
What's New in WYNN
There are many exciting new features in this version of WYNN. Below is a brief
overview of the new features.
PAL Tools and the PREPARE Process
PAL tools 1 . WYNN 7 includes the PAL tools created by Freedom
Scientific Learning Systems Group in partnership with Dr. Cindy Okolo
from Michigan State University. PAL is a set of tools designed to help
students learn from text.
1 The PAL tools were developed under a grant from the US Department of Education, #H327A090045.
However, those contents do not necessarily represent the policy of the US Department of Education, and you
should not assume endorsement by the Federal Government

PREPARE process. The PAL tools include the PREPARE process for
reading and studying content-area text. The steps in this process will
help students identify key information from text, take notes and
summarize that information, and then use their notes to study or to write
different genres of text, such as essays and research papers. The PAL
left panel and menu provide access to each step in the process. The PAL
button on the pink toolbar can also open a PAL file. The PREPARE steps
are: Preview, Read, Examine, Pick (what's important), Arrange, Rework,
and Explain. (Note that Pick and Arrange are done using the Examine
button.)
Notecards. Take notes using notecards. The notecards feature is part of
the PREPARE process (the Rework step), but it is also a stand-alone
feature. Students can take notes using notecards whether they use the
PREPARE process or not. Notecards are available from the pink toolbar,
or from the File menu.
Writing templates. Templates can help during the writing process.
WYNN's writing templates are aligned with the Common Core State
Standards for education in the United States. Teachers can create or edit
templates, including the sample templates provided. Students use the
templates to write papers from notes. To open a template outside the
PREPARE process, select a WYT format file in the Open dialog box.
Sample templates provided. To help teachers and students, several
sample templates are included for every user. There are both brief and
detailed templates for the three main writing areas as defined by the
Common Core State Standards for K-12 students:
Persuasive/Argumentative, Narrative, and Informative/Explanatory.
Show/Hide Instruction Text. When a student uses templates, there are
blocks of instruction text to help him or her in the writing process. When
the student is done writing, they can hide the instruction text to see what
the document will look like when published. They can always show the
instruction text again whenever they want. To hide instruction text, go to
View menu and select the last item, Hide Instruction Text. Whenever
instruction text is hidden, select Show Instruction Text to display it again.
New file formats. We created some new file types to support the new
PAL features. PAL files use WYP. Templates use WYT. Notecards use
WNC. WYNN files still use WYX. WYNN 7 still supports earlier WYNN file
formats, including WYN, ARK, OBX, and OBU.

New User Interface Graphics
New user interface graphics. All toolbars and other graphics were
updated for this release, providing a fresh, modern look, but with the
same great functionality. Instead of solid color toolbar buttons, the new
buttons have a transparent background with a colored bar under each
button.
Use solid color legacy toolbar buttons. If you prefer to keep the solid
toolbar backgrounds that were used in earlier versions of WYNN, you can
do that by checking the item called Use Solid Toolbar Colors in the Visual
Settings.
Other New User Features
Include source citation in extracted documents. Any time you extract
highlights or bookmarks to a document, WYNN now includes the name of
the source document, or URL of the Web page, for that extracted text.
This allows you to keep track of your sources for later use in citations.
Extract and convert highlights to outline. In addition to WYNN's
ongoing ability to extract highlights to a new document, you can now
extract highlights to an outline. You can extract in one of two ways: by
color, or in document order.
Extract and convert bookmarks to outline. You have the same choices
for extracting bookmarks as highlights: by color, or in document order.
Save Voice Notes to MP3. You have always been able to create Voice
Notes in WYNN documents. Now you can save these notes to an MP3
file for studying later.
Add two additional highlight colors. WYNN 7 now has five highlight
colors. Lavender and orange were added to the existing blue, green, and
magenta colors.
Add one additional bookmark symbol. WYNN 7 now has five
bookmark symbols. The diamond shape was added to the existing star,
circle, square, and triangle.
Coordinate color scheme of highlights and bookmarks. The colors
used for bookmarks and highlights have been coordinated so the first
one is always blue, next one always green, etc.

Enhancement of left panel. The left panel, always used for the File List,
Favorites, and History, is now also used to display the PAL tools in the
PREPARE process. We have added a method to switch from one use of
the left panel to another. Use the Previous and Next buttons at the top of
the left panel to switch to another use. Note that you must have "opened"
that use already, so, for example, you must first press the File List button
to switch to its use. And you must invoke the PAL left panel to switch to
its use.
Save to Audio now available as toolbar button. Everyone loves the
Save to Audio feature. We have now added it as a button on the blue
toolbar. This function has always been available on the File menu, but we
added a toolbar button for easier access. The Save to Audio feature
gives you the ability to save your current open document to MP3 or WAV
format.
Book Search now available as toolbar button. We added a toolbar
button on the blue toolbar for Book Search. Book Search lets you search
for Bookshare.org, Gutenberg, and Baen books from within WYNN, so
you can download and read them at your convenience. Book Search is
still available on the Launch menu, but we added a toolbar button for
easier access.
Export to Word now available as toolbar button. We added a toolbar
button on the blue toolbar for Export to Word. This takes the current open
document and sends it to Microsoft Word. This function is still available
on the Launch menu, but we added a toolbar button for easier access.
Setup Launchables is now automatic. Launchables are a way to send
your WYNN document to your favorite word processor. We have now
made the set-up of Launchables happen automatically when you first log
into WYNN after installation. (This automatic installation may take a few
minutes, so the launchable items will not be available until this process is
done.) Launchables will find all word processors on your computer, and it
will set up a link for them in the Launch menu. Usually those word
processors are Microsoft Word, WordPad, and Notepad. Note that the
Word launchable is now also available as a button on the blue toolbar for
user convenience.

WYNN Network Installation
Network Installation Overview
Note: This section is intended for network administrators. It assumes that you
are familiar with computer networks, user groups, user accounts, and
user permissions. You must have Administrator or Power User access
on all machines where the server, license server, and client
components are installed. For license server and network details, see
page 249.
The WYNN Network program and the WYNN Stand-alone program are
on the same DVD.
The WYNN software package downloaded from the Freedom Scientific
Web site can be used to install a demo version of WYNN network or
WYNN stand-alone. If you install using the downloaded software
package, some of the installation instructions will be slightly different
from the information in this chapter.
For a list of hardware and software requirements, see System
Requirements on page 8.
WYNN Network Installation consists of four major parts.
Installing the WYNN network server software (page 17).
Sharing folders and setting NTFS permission for the WYNNNet and
Users folders (page 18).
Activating WYNN Network Server (page 22). This allows you to designate
a computer running Windows on the network as the ILM license server.

This computer issues tokens to the WYNN clients. The number of license
seats purchased determines the number of tokens available to client
computers on the network.
Installing WYNN Network Client (page 27).
Tip: Make sure your user permissions are set up correctly or users may
have problems saving their profiles, settings, and documents.
Installing the WYNN Network Server
Note: When upgrading from an older WYNN Network version, disable the old
Users share by right-clicking on the folder, selecting Properties,
navigating to the Share tab, and selecting Do not share this folder.
Network installation requires that you install all server components from the
WYNN DVD to the server. During this process, all client installation files are
copied to the server and several WYNN folders are created.
1. Do one of the following:
If installing from the WYNN DVD, insert the DVD into the server’s
disk drive. (Both the network and stand-alone versions of WYNN
are on the same DVD.)
If installing from the downloaded software package, locate and
double-click the executable file. The file has a name similar to
WYNN[version number]-32bit-64bit.exe.
Important:
WYNN’s server components installation program is located in the disk’s
root folder. Installation must run from this location. Do not copy and run
the installation components from a different medium.
2. The WYNN Setup program starts, and displays installation
instructions. Follow these instructions to complete the WYNN
installation.
Note: If the program does not start automatically run Setup.exe on the
program disk.

The default document storage folder is C:\WYNNNet\Users. This
location must be shared so that all users can access it. Make sure
the storage location is shared and then select Next to continue.
Note: The installation wizard can automatically share this folder. It will have
Full Control permission for the Everyone group during installation and
then will be demoted to Read Only permission for the Everyone group
once installation is finished. Choose Yes to create this share or No to
continue.
4. When installation is complete, you can then set permissions for the
folders referenced in the next section. Once that is complete, you can
install WYNN Network Client on the workstations.
Refer to page 27 for WYNN client installation procedures.
During installation, several new folders and subfolders are created on
the server (see page 235). For a list of permissions assigned to these
folders, see User Permissions on page 233.
Configuring User Groups and Folder Permissions
Users must be able to access certain folders to use Network WYNN. You can
create one user group and set the access for that group, or you can create
many users and then set the folder access for each user.
Creating a User Group
Create a WYNN user group to easily add students who will use the WYNN
application. You can allow individual users to access the WYNN folders, but
you will have to set folder permissions for each user. If you create a group, you
only set folder permissions once for the group.

1. Navigate to the Control Panel.
2. Select Administrative Tools.
3. Select Computer Management. The dialog box will vary based on your
operating system as shown in the following images.
4. Expand Local Users and Groups and select Groups.
5. In the Action menu (ALT+A) choose New Group or right-click in the
right panel and select New Group.
19

20
6. Enter the Group name ("WYNN Users").
7. Choose Add to add members
8. Click Create to create the group
Sharing the Users and WYNNNet Folders
After installing WYNN Network Server, and before installing WYNN Network
Client, set the following permissions. For more information about folder
permissions, see User Permissions on page 233.
Users. If the folder was not shared during installation, do so now and set
permissions to Full Control, Change, and Read as described below.
WYNNNet. Share the folder and set permissions to Change and Read.
To share the folders, follow these instructions:
1. Use Windows Explorer to locate the folder.
2. Next, right-click the folder and select Properties.
3. In the Sharing tab, select the Share this folder option. The dialog
box will vary based on your operating system.
4. Select the Permissions button and choose Full Control, Change, or
Read depending on which folder you are sharing.

Note: If you want the permissions to affect only the WYNN user group, add or
select the group. While the group is selected, set the permissions.
5. Select OK twice to close the Permissions and User Properties dialog
boxes.
Setting the NTFS Permissions
You must also set NTFS permissions for the folders that WYNN users will
access while using the WYNN Network Client. The NTFS permissions are:
Users. Full Control as described below
WYNNNet. Read & Execute, List, and Read
To set the NTFS permissions on the folders, follow these instructions:
1. Use Windows Explorer to locate the folder.
2. View the folder properties
3. Select the Security tab.
4. Select your WYNN User group.
5. In the Permissions section, choose the permissions. The dialog box
will vary based on your operating system.
License Server Software Overview
A WYNN Network Authorization CD is supplied with the Network WYNN
version. The following overview describes the three primary steps to installing
and configuring a license server computer.
Note: If you do not install and activate the license server, the WYNN clients
will operate in 40-minute demo mode. The WYNN software package
downloaded from the Freedom Scientific Web site does not include the
license server software.
21

22
Select a license server computer
The license server must be a physical computer and not a virtual
one.
You must designate one Microsoft Windows-based computer on the
network to be the license server. This can even be the WYNN server.
Install the license server on a networked computer that is not running the
WYNN client. Make sure that this computer is always accessible.
The license server handles requests for tokens. A token allows a WYNN
client to use WYNN. The license server issues tokens to the requesting
clients until there are no more tokens available. The number of available
tokens depends on how many license seats were purchased. For
example, if 10 seats are purchased, only 10 simultaneous WYNN
sessions are available. If an eleventh computer tries to use the WYNN
application, it is denied access to the application until a license seat
becomes available.
Install the license server software
The WYNN Network Authorization CD contains the network authorization
utilities, documentation, and tools. Insert the CD into the computer’s disk
drive, and follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.
Activate the license server computer
This is the only computer that requires software activation. The other
WYNN client computers do not require authorization or activation since
they obtain tokens from the license server. For activation procedures,
refer to Activating the License Server on page 24.
Installing the License Server Software and Network
Authorization Tools
The following process describes how to install the license server, which
authorizes client computers to use your Freedom Scientific product. This
installation also creates a program folder in your Start menu that provides
access to the Network Authorization documentation and tools.

1. To begin the installation, insert the WYNN Network Authorization CD
into the license server computer’s disk drive. The Network
Authorization Utilities dialog box appears. Choose Install to continue.
Note: If the installation does not begin automatically, run Setup.exe on the
program disk.
2. The Network Authorization Utilities installation status appears. The
installation briefly pauses, and then launches the InstallShield Wizard
for the SentinelLM Server.
3. The InstallShield Wizard for SentinelLM Server starts. Choose Next to
begin the license server installation.
Note: You can only install the license server on a computer that runs
Windows XP or later. The license server does not support other
operating systems such as Novell, UNIX, Linux, and so on.
4. Read the license agreement. If you accept the terms and conditions in
the agreement, choose Yes.
By default, the license server installs in C:\Program Files\Rainbow
Technologies\SentinelLM 7.2.0.6 Server. If you want to install the
license server in a different folder, choose Browse and select a new
folder. Choose Next to continue with the installation.
5. Choose Finish when installation of the SentinelLM Server is complete.
The Network Authorization installation status menu appears again.
6. Choose Finish when this installation of the Network Authorization
Utilities is complete.
The Network Authorization tools and license server are now installed. If you are
using Windows XP, the “SentinelLM” service is automatically added to your
Windows Services.
The installation creates a new folder in your Start menu called Freedom
Scientific. See Network Authorization Tools on page 234 for detailed
descriptions of each Network Authorization tool.
23

24
Activating the License Server
After installing the license server and Network Authorization tools, you must
then activate your Freedom Scientific product license. To do this, you must
request an Activation License code from Freedom Scientific. You can use the
Internet to receive your Activation License code quickly and easily.
Note: When upgrading from an older WYNN Network release, you must also
update your authorization using the steps below.
Perform the following to activate your Freedom Scientific product.
1. From the Start menu, choose All Programs, Freedom Scientific,
Network, and Update WYNN Wizard Authorization or WYNN Reader
Authorization.
2. Choose the Activate button to begin the activation.
3. Select the Now, using the Internet (RECOMMENDED) option to
specify that you want to use the Internet to acquire your Activation
License code. Choose Next to continue.

4. Your 20-character Authorization number is automatically inserted into
the Authorization Number edit box. If your Authorization number is
not shown, type it into the edit box. (Your 20-character Authorization
number appears on your WYNN disk package.) Choose Next to
continue.
5. You may be prompted to register your software. Registering lets you
receive technical support. Choose Register Now and complete the
online registration form by following the instructions provided. You can
choose to register later, but you must register the next time you
activate the software on any computer.
6. After you submit your registration, Internet License Manager (ILM)
attempts to activate the software. This process may take several
minutes. When the activation is successful, choose Finish.
Tip: If Internet License Manager cannot activate the software, you may need
to reconfigure your firewall. See page 249 for more information.
7. Start the WLMAdmin utility by opening the Start menu and choosing
Programs or All Programs, Freedom Scientific, Network, and
Server Administration. If the WLMAdmin utility is running, quit the
program and then restart it. You can use this utility to monitor where
the license(s) reside and which users are using tokens.
25

26
WYNN Network Client Overview
The final part of network installation requires that you install the WYNN
application onto the client computers by running the appropriate Setup.exe file
that resides on the server. Do not try to run the client setup from the
program disk.
Note: If installing from the downloaded software package, locate and doubleclick
the executable file. The file has a name similar to WYNN-32bit-64bit.exe.
You do not need to perform additional authorization procedures for these
computers. Each time the software is started on the client, it automatically
searches for the license server and obtains an authorization token.
The number of tokens available depends on the number of users permitted by
your license. For example, if you purchase a license for five users, your license
server has five tokens available. Each time a user starts the software, the
license server assigns the client computer a token. Once all tokens are
assigned, no additional clients can receive authorization.
If you need your license to support additional users, contact your local
distributor or Freedom Scientific to purchase additional seats.
To run the Setup.exe file from the server follow the procedures in the Installing
the WYNN Network Client section.
Adding the Environment Variable LSFORCEHOST
Tip: It is strongly recommended that you add the environment variable
LSFORCEHOST to the client computers and set it to the name or IP
address of the SentinelLM license server. Most networks, especially
school networks, need this so the clients can find the correct location
for the license server. When the Freedom Scientific program starts, it
will only search for a product license on the specified computer. If you
have distributed the license over more than one license server and you
want the program to search for the first available token, do not add this
environment variable. For more information, refer to the System
Administrator’s Guide, which is a Network Authorization tool that you
installed earlier.

Do the following to add the environment variable:
For Windows 7, do the following:
1. Click the Start button, right-click Computer, and choose Properties.
2. In the left pane of the System dialog box, click Advanced System
Settings.
3. In the Advance tab of the System Properties dialog box, click
Environment Variables.
4. Select the New button that appears in the System Variables area, and
then enter LSFORCEHOST in the Variable name field and the server
name or IP address in the Variable Value field. Click OK to close the
dialog box and save the changes.
For Windows XP, do the following:
1. Click the Start button, right-click My Computer, and choose Properties.
2. In the System Properties dialog box, select the Advance tab, and
choose the Environment Variables button.
3. Select the New button that appears in the System Variables area, and
then enter LSFORCEHOST in the Variable name field and the server
name or IP address in the Variable Value field. Click OK to close the
dialog box and save the changes.
Installing the WYNN Network Client
Do the following to install the network client version of WYNN. Do not try to
run the client setup from the program disk.
1. From the client computer, use Windows Explorer to browse to the
WYNN destination folder and run setup.exe. The default file location
is:
\\\WYNNNet\WYNN \Setup.exe
27

28
Note: If installing from the downloaded software package, locate and doubleclick
the executable file. The file has a name similar to WYNN-32bit-64bit.exe.
Note: Make sure you use the UNC share path (\\\WYNNNet\...). This is the path that WYNN will use to connect to
the WYNN server.
2. The WYNN setup program starts and displays installation instructions.
3. When prompted,
Choose installation for WYNN Wizard, WYNN Reader, or both.
Choose the language locale, for example, U.S. English or another
language.
If the public domain books are available, choose to install these
books.
4. Next, the setup program installs the RealSpeak Solo Direct speech
synthesizer. Accept the End User License Agreement and continue to
follow the installation instructions. (This synthesizer is not available for
the 40-minute demo version downloaded from the Web.)
Note: For certain installations, such as an upgrade, it may be necessary to
reboot your computer. Click Yes when prompted if this is the case.
5. Click Finish when the install is complete.
The WYNN application is installed, and the Network WYNN
application and folder shortcuts appear on the client’s desktop.
Special Installation Commands
The Freedom Scientific setup package is a tool used to install or uninstall
multiple components, including the main product. There are a number of
special installation commands that may be helpful to network administrators.
To install the WYNN network client using these options, do the following:
1. Press WINDOWS Key+R. The Run dialog box opens.

2. Click Browse, and then navigate to the folder where the WYNN
network client setup package is located.
For example, C:\WYNNNet\WYNN\setup.exe
3. Next append a command-line option to the end of the file path.
For example,
C:\WYNNNet\WYNN\setup.exe
Note: Command-line options are listed in Appendix E: Command-line Options
beginning on page 253.
4. Click OK to start installation.
Account Types: Administrative and Teacher
Overview of Account Types
There are three types of user accounts beginning with WYNN 7: Administrator,
Teacher, and Student. The Administrator account is primarily used by the IT
department or other person installing WYNN. Teacher accounts are used by
teachers to create and edit certain types of documents. Student accounts have
limited editing capabilities for some document types. These three account
types are detailed below.
What is an Administrator Account?
The administrator account, also known as Shared, is used to make changes to
other user accounts. For example, the administrator account can elevate
student accounts to teacher accounts; assign and change passwords to
teacher accounts; and demote teacher accounts to student accounts. The
administrator account cannot broadcast files and settings to other users. There
can only be one WYNN administrator account.
Note: In previous versions of WYNN, the Shared account was used by
teachers to broadcast files and lock out features. In WYNN 7 and later,
the Shared account has changed and is only used as the Administrator
account. Previous functions covered under Shared are now covered
under the Teacher account type.
29

30
What is a Teacher Account?
A teacher account can:
Broadcast documents and settings to students on a classroom computer,
or, if using Network WYNN, to all users on the network. Settings consist
of items such as word prediction lists, pronunciation and spelling
dictionaries, abbreviations, and OCR corrections.
Create and edit PAL (WYP) documents
Create and edit Template (WYT) documents
Disable features, such as the dictionary, thesaurus, spell checker,
homophone checker, word prediction, and Web browsing, for student
accounts.
Change the current teacher account password
What is a Student Account?
A student account is the most basic type of account. Students are not allowed
to create or edit PAL (WYP) or Template (WYT) files. They can use these files
to complete assignments, but they cannot alter the original text in them.
Note: All new accounts are created as student account types. After creating a
new account, teachers should request that the Administrator elevate
their account to Teacher permission level. Then they can create and
edit PAL and Template files, broadcast files, and lock out student
functionality such as using the Dictionary and browsing the Internet
from within WYNN.
What should an administrator do once the software is
installed?
The first thing an administrator should do is log in and set a password for
the administrator (shared) account
Next, elevate any student accounts that need to be elevated to Teacher
accounts.

There are several options as this point.
(1) The administrator can assign a generic (temporary) password to the
teacher accounts. Teachers can then change the generic password to
something they prefer, or
(2) The administrator can assign specific passwords to the teacher
accounts during the elevation process.
(3) The administrator can leave the teacher accounts without passwords
(not recommended)
Finally, the administrator can log out and provide teachers with their
account information
Note that if the teacher accounts have not yet been created, the
administrator can log out and create them, then log back in as Shared to
elevate them to Teacher permissions. Also, as teachers create new
accounts later, the administrator can elevate individual accounts at that
time.
Important Note:
Teachers will not be able to create and edit PAL and Template files until
their user log-in has been elevated to Teacher permissions. This can
only be done by the Administrator account.
What should a teacher do after the software is installed?
A teacher has three options.
If an account has not been created, the teacher should create a user
account, which will be a student account by default – simply type a user
name in the User Log In dialog box, and choose Yes when prompted to
add a new user. Next exit WYNN or log out, and inform the administrator
that the account has been created.
31

32
If a teacher account has already been created and configured by the
administrator, the teacher should log on, and
(1) Use the specific password provided for that account by the
administrator, or
(2) Use the generic password provided, create a new password, and then
give it to the administrator
(3) Set a password if the administrator has not already set one. To set a
password, log in and then choose Change Password in the Advanced
menu. Type your password, confirm it, and press ENTER.
Check for Updates
Freedom Scientific is continually seeking to improve and expand WYNN.
Periodically, WYNN updates are released, so it is recommended that you keep
your software up to date.
To check for updates after installing the WYNN release, do the following:
1. Click the Help menu and then Check for Updates.
2. The update feature determines if you have the most current release. If
you do not, select one or more items from the list and then select
INSTALL to begin the update.
If your version is up to date, the update feature displays a message
indicating that you have the latest version.
Note: The network version of WYNN does not support the Check for Updates
feature.

Book 1: Getting Started
This section describes basic tasks that all users can perform to start WYNN,
open documents, read documents, use WYNN's study tools, customize WYNN,
and save documents.
Starting WYNN
The first time you start WYNN, you must create a user account with a unique
user name before using the software. Not only does this process create your
user name, but it also creates your own user folder, which is your default folder
that stores your documents. The default folder uses your user name. For
network versions of WYNN, your default user folder is stored on the server.
Note: All new accounts are created as student account types. After creating a
new account, teachers should request that the Administrator elevate
their account to Teacher permission level. Then they can create and
edit PAL and Template files, broadcast files, and lock out student
functionality such as using the Dictionary and browsing the Internet
from within WYNN. See Account Types: Administrative and Teacher on
page 29 for more information about giving teacher permissions to user
accounts.
To start WYNN:
1. Double-click the WYNN Wizard or WYNN Reader application icon on
your desktop.
The User Log-In dialog opens.
2. If you already have a user name,
Select it from the list, and click OK. The WYNN application starts,
and opens either a blank document, or the last file that was open.
If you are a new user,
Type your name in the Please Sign In Here box.
Click OK.
33

34
A confirmation window appears. Click Yes. A process begins that
accepts your new user name, creates a default folder for your
documents, and starts the WYNN application.
The WYNN application starts, your user name appears in the upper
right corner of the WYNN window, and the Welcome to WYNN file
opens.
Multi-User Log In
If another user wants to log in without quitting WYNN:
1. Choose Log Off from the File menu or click on the
name in the upper right corner.
2. A confirmation message appears. Click Yes.
3. The user can then log in, as previously described, and begin using
WYNN.
Note: If only one user will be using WYNN on this computer, you can skip the
log in process. To do this, choose Enable Multi-User Logins from the
File menu. Enable Multi-User Logins should be unchecked. The next
time you start WYNN, you will not be asked to log in. Choose this
command again to re-enable multi-user logins.

Book 8: PREPARE Process for Teachers
PREPARE is a set of tasks that provide a process students will use to help with
their studying, reading, writing, and comprehension. The steps include:
Preview; Read; Examine; Pick what’s important (highlight); Arrange (extract
text); Rework (take extracted text and summarize); and Explain. This process
will help students identify key information from text, summarize that
information, and then use their summaries to write different genres of text.
The following is an overview of the tasks a teacher must complete. The end
result is a file known as a PAL document.
Before You Begin
Before you begin, you will need to think about and gather your source material
for the PAL project. Keep the following in mind.
First, you must have an account with Teacher permissions. PAL files can
only be created when using a Teacher account.
You need to identify the scope of the project; think about questions and
instructions that will help students complete the assignment
You must bring information into WYNN. You can do this by scanning
material into WYNN, using the Freedom Import Printer to bring PDF or
Word files into WYNN, or by typing into a blank document in WYNN.
Once your material is in WYNN, you can then save it using the PAL
(WYP) format.
If your source material includes Web pages or audio files or other
documents stored in a network folder, you will be providing links so that
students can download files and visit Web pages
87

Step 1. Creating a PAL Document
88
Note: WYNN uses several new document formats, each with its own
extension. PAL files use WYP. Templates use WYT. Notecards use
WNC. WYNN files still use WYX. WYNN also supports earlier WYNN
file formats, including WYN, ARK, OBX, and OBU.
Saving a PAL File
1. If you have not already saved your material in PAL format, do that
now. From the File menu, select Save As. The “Select a file to Save
to” dialog box opens.
2. Type the name of the file in the File name box, and then select WYNN
PAL Documents (*wyp) in the “Save as Type” box.
3. Click Save.
4. The PAL panel opens and displays on the left side of the document
area. This is known as the left panel. If the PAL left panel does not
display at this point, go to the PAL menu and choose Left Panel.
Setting Up the PAL Document
After saving the document in WYP format, the next step is to begin the PAL
configuration.
Document Linking
1. In the PAL left panel, click the Document Linking button. This opens
the PAL Configuration dialog box with focus in the Document Linking
tab.
2. The current document (titled “This Document”) displays in the list.

3. To add additional source material, click Insert, which opens the
Document Path Configuration dialog box.
4. Click Browse to locate WYNN files, Web page links, PDF files, and
other document types that you want to add as source material. You
can always edit the links to these files later. You can also change the
order that these items display in the list, or delete the items from the
list.
Note: If your students will be using WYNN Reader, you should only link
WYNN files and Web pages, since WYNN Reader cannot convert PDF
and other file types.
5. When finished, click Next to continue.
89

90
Preview
Use Preview to insert questions, comments, or instructions into the PAL
document. It is intended to guide students and provide ideas to consider when
initially reviewing the document. The text should provide concepts that can
assist students to better comprehend information within the assigned text.
Students will see this information displayed in the Preview pane of their PAL
document.
Note: The edit box contains default text. If you do not enter new information,
then this is the text that will be available to students.

Read
No setup is required for this step when setting up a PAL document. When
students click Read in the PAL left panel, the document text displays without
the Preview pane or the Examine pane showing above it.
Examine
Use Examine to type the instructions or questions that are specific to the text
that students read. These questions display in the Examine pane when
students click the Examine button.
The student reviews the text to answer specific questions, uses highlighters to
answer the questions, and then extracts the text for writing or studying.
91

92
You can configure PAL documents to use bookmark symbols instead of
highlighting for students who are color blind. You do this in the set-up for the
Examine pane. Choose "Use symbols as question reference" to use these
symbols instead of highlighting. When you do that, each question is indicated
by a bookmark symbol instead of a highlight color. When the student uses the
Examine step, s/he will use bookmark symbol instead of highlighters. And
notecards (for the Rework step) will be organized using the same symbols.
Most people will use the highlight colors, so the rest of this documentation
refers to them.

Rework
Use Rework to specify details about how students use notecards. You can
create titles for each deck of notecards, and you can lock those titles if you
want. This prevents students from creating their own titles or not having any
titles. You can also prevent students from pasting text from their documents
into the notecards, thus requiring them to use their own words. For more
information, see Book 11: Notecards.
93

94
Explain
Use Explain to link a writing template for students to use when writing a paper
based on their notes. Use the Browse button to find the template file you want
to link. When you have identified the template, WYNN will list it in the
"Template Document Name" field.
Important Note:
We strongly recommend that you specify a template here. If you do not,
students have to take several extra steps to use templates. Students
will have a much better experience if you define a template here.”
Step 2. Sending the PAL Document to Students
After you are done setting up the PAL document, and after your PAL (WYP) file
is closed, you can send (broadcast) the PAL file plus linked documents to your
students. Note that you cannot broadcast a document that is open.

To do this,
1. In the Advanced menu, choose Broadcast Documents. The Broadcast
Documents dialog box opens.
2. In the list, select the WYP file along with other files linked during the
PAL document set-up process. To select multiple files, press and hold
CTRL while clicking files in the list.
3. Click Broadcast, and then click OK when the confirmation message
displays.
The files are sent to all students and are saved in their Docs folder.
Step 3. Adding Teacher Hints (Optional)
Some students need more support with reading and studying. The PAL setup
process offers an extra feature called Teacher Hints that lets you place visual
cues in areas of the text where you want students to focus their attention. This
aids students to answer the questions you wrote in the Examine step. The
steps below describe how to enter Teacher Hints in the PAL document and in
any other documents that you have linked to the PAL project.
Note: To enter Teacher Hints, you must first complete the PAL document setup,
as explained earlier, and you must have the PAL (WYP) document
open.
1. Make sure that the PAL document is open.
2. If the Examine pane is not visible,
Click the PAL menu and choose Examine
Next, choose Show Examine Pane. This lets you refer to the
questions you wrote in the Examine tab during set-up.
3. Finally, place your cursor on the proper word in the main document,
and then select a highlighter color from the Examine button in the
PAL left panel. A Teacher Hint is placed into the main document. It
displays using the same letter and color that is associated with the
question in the Examine pane.
95

96
Repeat this step to add more hints.
To remove a hint, simply place your cursor in front of the hint and
press Delete.
Tip: If you want to add Teacher Hints to documents that are linked to the
PAL document, keep your PAL document open. This will keep the PAL
left panel available.
4. When you are done, click the Save button on the blue toolbar to save
the files.
5. When you are ready to broadcast the documents to your students,
Close the documents
If you have already broadcast the documents, you will need to
broadcast them again, since they have changed. See Step 2.
Sending the PAL Document to Students for broadcast instructions.
Step 4. Creating and Editing Writing Templates
(Optional)
WYNN includes writing templates that are aligned with the Common Core State
Standards for United States students. WYNN templates contain areas of
“locked” text that is protected against changes by students. The locked
(instruction) text contains guidance for students during the writing process.
WYNN provides both brief and detailed templates for Persuasive-
Argumentative, Informative-Explanatory, and Narrative essays.
These templates do not need any teacher input to use, although teachers may
edit them to align with their own needs. In addition, teachers can create their
own templates at any time.
Note: To edit or create templates, you must be logged in to an account with
teacher permissions.

Creating New Templates
Creating a template is a two-step process: first, you must place material into
WYNN and save it as a template, and, second, you must specify the text that
you want to use as instruction text in the template.
Adding Material to the Template File
To create a new template, you must first bring material into WYNN. You can do
this by scanning, using the Freedom Import Printer, opening a blank document
and typing in it, or copying and pasting text from another source.
Next, you must save the file using the WYNN template format (WYT).
1. Click the Save As button on the blue toolbar.
2. In the “Select a File to Save To” dialog box, select “WYNN Template
Documents (.wyt)” in the Save As Type box, and then click Save.
3. A notification confirming that you want to save the file in WYT format
displays. Click OK.
Marking Instruction Text
Do the following to mark instruction text.
1. Drag your mouse from the first to the last word of text to select the first
block of text that you want to use as locked instruction text.
2. From the Edit menu, choose “Mark as Instruction Text,” or press
CTRL+ALT+I.
WYNN locks the text, adds a colored background, and inserts blank
lines before and after it. Instruction text is always a full paragraph, so
WYNN will turn your selected text into its own paragraph.
3. Continue to mark all areas of instruction text. Delete any text you
don’t need.
4. When done, save the file, and close it. You can then broadcast it to
your students. See Step 2. Sending the PAL Document to Students for
broadcast instructions.
97

98
Unmarking Instruction Text
Do the following to unmark any block of instruction text, which restores it to
regular text.
1. Place your cursor anywhere in the block of marked text.
2. From the Edit menu, choose “Unmark Instruction Text” or press
CTRL+ALT+I. The colored background is removed from the text.
Removing Instruction Text
Do the following to remove all instruction text. This deletes the text from the
document.
1. From the Edit menu, choose “Remove Instructions.”
2. A notification confirming that you want to permanently delete all
instruction text displays. Click OK. The colored background is
removed from the text.

Book 9: PREPARE Process for Students
When your teacher gives you a PAL (WYP) document, you can do many things
with it to help you read, comprehend, study, and write papers. First open the
PAL document. This will open the left panel showing the buttons in the
PREPARE process. The PREPARE process is: Preview, Read, Examine, Pick
What’s Important, Arrange, Rework and Explain. These steps are all completed
from the PAL left panel. Note that Examine, Pick, and Arrange are all
associated with the Examine button.
Step 1 – Open and Preview the Document
The Preview pane contains text that helps set a purpose for reading the
document. The text may include questions to think about while reading or
global instructions. Look through the document using these instructions.
1. Click the PAL button in the pink toolbar, and open the WYP file that
your teacher sent to you. The file is located in your User Docs folder.
Both the PAL left panel and the Preview pane at the top of the
document window open. Note that you can view your document in
Text View or, if available, Exact View.
You can get back to this step later by pressing the Preview button on
the PAL left panel.
Step 2 – Read the Document
In this step, you need to read the document thoroughly, and think about your
purpose for reading.
99

100
1. Press the Read button in the PAL left panel, and begin reading the
document. Note that the Preview pane closes and the document
displays in full view.
If the document contains multiple pages, click the Go To button in the
yellow toolbar (or press CTRL+G) to move to a different page. When
in Text View, you can also use the scroll bar on the right side of the
document window to move to other pages.
Step 3 – Examine the Document
In this step, you will examine the text to answer specific questions. These
questions are in the Examine pane at the top of the document window. As you
go through this step, you will be making changes to the document. Be sure to
save your document as you work.
1. Examine: Press the Examine button, and read the instructions and
questions displayed in the Examine pane at the top of the document
window.
2. Pick What’s Important: As you read, use the highlighters to highlight
answers to the questions.
To use highlighters, press the Examine button again and choose a
color from the list. Make sure to use the same highlight color that
matches the question in the Examine pane.
Note: When you first press the Examine button, your cursor moves to the
Examine pane.You must place your cursor into the main document
before you can highlight. If you try to use the highlighters by pressing
Examine again, they will be grayed out.

Note: Your teacher may have provided Teacher Hints in the document.
Teacher Hints are marks in a document that give you extra guidance to
show where answers might be located. You can use the Teacher Hints
to help you focus on important material.
3. Arrange: Next, after answering all questions, you will extract the
highlighted text.
To do this, click the Examine button again and choose Extract or
Extract to Outline. These items are at the bottom of the Examine list.
Extract allows you to copy the highlighted text to a new or existing
WYX document. If you select a New Document, it opens as a WYX
file, and uses the same file name as the WYP file.
Extract to Outline does the same, but places the text in outline
format. Outlines are always placed into a new file.
After selecting the type of extraction, three options are possible:
Option 1. If the PAL document is the only file open, the highlighted
text is automatically extracted to a WYX file that uses the same file
name as the PAL document
If multiple files are open, the “Select a WYNN Document for the
Extracted Text” dialog box opens and displays a list of files.
Option 2. Choose “New WYNN Document” to create a new WYX
file that contains the highlighted text. The title of the WYP file also
displays above the text.
Option 3. Select a file from the list and then choose “Use Selected
Document.” This appends the extracted text and WYP file title to
the end of the selected file. It can be viewed in Text View mode.
Important:
The extracted text document will now be displayed. Your original PAL
document is still available. To display it, click the Linked Documents
button, which is the last PAL button in the left panel. If the PAL buttons
are not visible in the left panel, use the Previous or Next buttons to
cycle back to the PAL document.
101

Step 4 – Rework and Summarize the Document
102
In this step, you will summarize the highlighted information by writing into
notecards, which appear at the bottom of the screen. The purpose of this is to
answer the questions in the Examine pane.
1. Click Rework in the left panel.
A notecard (WNC) file is automatically created, and the Notecard
panel opens at the bottom of the screen. It uses the same file name
as the original PAL document.
It contains five color coded decks. Each deck uses the question letter
as a prefix, and also uses the colors that display in the Examine pane
as notecard titles. Your teacher may have added a title to the
notecards.
2. Next, select a notecard and type answers to the questions and add
other notes that will help you create your final paper.
3. In the blue toolbar, click Save to save the notecards and update the
WNC file.
Tip: You can close the Examine pane at any time by pressing the small X at
the upper right of the pane. You can bring back the Examine pane by
pressing the Examine button again.
Using Linked Source Documents
If your teacher has linked other documents or Web pages to the PAL
document, you should now repeat the four steps described earlier in this
chapter for each of the other documents.
1. To do this, click Linked Documents (the last PAL button) in the left
panel.

This shows a list of all documents and Web pages linked to the PAL
document. Choose the next one you want to use.
2. Repeat the Preview, Read, Examine, and Rework steps as previously
described for each document.
In the Examine step, do one of the following:
Extract the text to the same WYX file that you created earlier in
Step 3 – Examine the Document, or
Extract the text to a new WYX file
In the Rework step, WYNN automatically opens the notecard file you
previously created, so that you can continue to add your thoughts to it.
Step 5 – Writing Your Paper
When you are finished taking notes for all files and Web pages provided by the
teacher, the next step is to begin writing your paper.
1. Click Explain in the left panel.
2. You must save a template file using your own filename before you can
write in it. Do one of the following:
If the teacher has provided a template, the template opens, and the
Save dialog box also opens. In the File Name box, type a file name,
make sure the Save as Type box is set to “WYNN Docs (*wyx),”
and click Save.
103

104
If the teacher has not provided a template, you have two choices.
You can either use the Explain button to write in a blank file, or you
can use the File Open button on the blue toolbar to open a
template yourself.
(1) If you use the Explain button, a new blank file is created for you
to use to write your paper. The Save dialog box also opens. In the
File Name box, type a file name, make sure the Save as Type box
is set to “WYNN Docs (*wyx),” and click Save.
(2) If you use the Open button on the blue toolbar, look in the
Templates folder, and select the template file that is most
appropriate for your writing task.
Note: In a template, the rose-colored text is the teacher’s instructions to help
you structure your paper. Type in the clear sections after each block of
instruction text. Your notecards are still available to use during the
writing process. If the notecards are not displayed on the screen, click
the Rework button in the left panel.
3. When you are finished writing your paper, click Save in the blue
toolbar.
If you used a template, you can hide the instructions so that you can
better see the formatting of your final document. To do this, choose
the View menu, and then select Hide Instructions.
4. Finally, when your paper is complete, you can print it or export it to
Microsoft Word using the Export to Word button in the blue toolbar or
to another word processing program using the Launchables menu.

112

Book 11: Notecards
Notecards allow students to organize their research and thoughts. In WYNN, a
student can document this information in a notecard (WNC) file. Notecards are
independent files that can be either used on their own or associated with a PAL
document. Notecards are not imbedded in a PAL document, but a notecard file
that is opened in a PAL document will use the same file name as the PAL file.
A notecard file consists of five separate decks that are color coded (or symbolcoded,
if a teacher has set up a PAL document to use symbols instead of
highlights for those students who are color blind) to help students keep their
research and work organized. A teacher may assign notecard titles in the PAL
Rework step. In this same step, a teacher can also lock titles so that students
cannot edit titles, and also control whether or not a student can cut, copy, or
paste text from their documents into notecards. The latter forces students to
convey information using their own words. The colors or symbols associated
with each deck are based on the configuration settings in the Examine step.
A student automatically creates a notecard file when he or she clicks Explain in
the left panel of a PAL document. The attributes, such as titles, colors or
symbols, and position of the notecard decks that a student sees, are based on
how the teacher configured notecards when creating the PAL document. A
student must assign one or more Notecards to each of the predefined
questions.
When a notecard is initially created, it displays in the Notecard pane across the
bottom of the screen with its file name in the top left corner of the pane. If the
notecard file is associated with a PAL document, the file takes on the same
name as the PAL document. If a notecard file is created outside of PAL
document, the initial file name format is Untitled.wnc.
Notecards are also a general purpose utility that can be used outside of the
PAL process. The Notecard button, outside of PAL, is found in the pink Study
Tools toolbar. This allows the feature to be used by any WYNN user in the
same manner that physical notecards would be used.
113

Using Notecards
114
Use notecards to document and organize your ideas collected from your
research. Try to limit your notes to a single idea per notecard. A notecard file
contains five decks. Each deck is easily identified by colors or symbols.
Opening Notecard Files
There are several ways to open a notecard file.
In a PAL document, click Rework in the left panel. This will open the
notecard file associated with the current PAL document.
At any time, select the Notecards button on the pink toolbar. This will
create and open a new notecard file.
At any time, from the File menu, choose New Notecard File. This will
create and open a new notecard file.
At any time from the File menu, choose Open and then select a WNC file
in the Open dialog box. This will open an existing notecard file.
Typing in Notecards
Note: You will usually view notecards in one of two ways. The main viewing
mode is the minimized notecard view, in which notecards are shown
in a pane at the bottom of the screen, while your source document or
Web page is displayed in the main document window. The other
viewing mode is the maximized notecard view, in which thumbnails of
the cards are shown in the whole screen. In this view, you can also see
an outline of the cards in the left panel. We will refer to these views in
the discussion below.

To type in a notecard, do the following.
1. In the minimized or maximized notecard view, right-click any notecard
and click Edit.
2. The selected notecard moves to the center of the minimized notecard
pane, which displays at the bottom of the screen.
3. Click in the notecard’s text area, and begin typing.
To cut or copy text from one notecard to another, do the following while viewing
the minimized notecard pane.
1. Single-click, or double-click a notecard so that it moves to the center
of the notecard pane.
2. Next, select text in the notecard and then use WYNN’s Copy/Paste
button on the yellow toolbar to copy the text, or use the keyboard
shortcut CTRL+C to copy.
3. Select another notecard, and use WYNN’s Copy/Paste button on the
yellow toolbar to paste the text, or use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+V
to paste.
Note: You can also select text in a notecard and right-click to display the Cut,
Copy, or Paste commands.
Adding and Deleting Notecards
There are a number of ways to add notecards.
Select a notecard, right-click, and then click New. A new notecard is
inserted after the current notecard.
Click the Add Notecard button in the notecard file’s title bar. A new
notecard is inserted after the current notecard.
To delete a notecard, do one of the following.
Select a notecard, right-click, and then click Delete.
115

116
Select a notecard, and click the Delete Notecard button in the notecard
file’s title bar. Click Yes when prompted to delete the notecard.
Copying (Cloning) a Whole Notecard
You can copy an entire notecard using the Copy button on the top of the
minimized notecard pane. This "clones" the whole card. Click on the card
where you want to copy the card. You then have two options for pasting the
card.
Select the notecard Paste button to paste the card before the card you
are on.
Right-click and select either Paste Before or Paste After to give more
control over where you paste the card.
Rearranging Notecards
You can use drag-and-drop to move notecards to another location. To change
the order of notecards or to move among decks, do the following.
In any notecard view, including the notecard outline list in the left panel,
click and drag a notecard to its new position in the same deck or to a
different deck.
Creating Subjects or Titles for Notecards
If a teacher has defined titles for notecards in a PAL document, each card will
already have a subject in the title area. If the teacher locks notecard titles, then
you cannot edit the text in the title area for the notecards.
A notecard has a tab, title/subject area, and text area. The tab consists of the
notecard deck’s color/symbol, deck letter, and notecard number. The subject
area contains the notecard title. The text area is where you type your idea or
notes. Try to limit your notes to one idea per notecard.
Do the following to create a title for a notecard.
1. Click in the subject/title area, which is located below the notecard tab.
2. Type a title for the notecard.

3. Save the notecard file.
Maximizing and Minimizing the Notecard Pane
To expand the notecard pane, click the Maximize button in the upper right
corner of the notecard file’s title bar.
To minimize the maximized notecard pane, click the Minimize button in the
upper right corner of the screen.
Closing a Notecard File
To close a notecard file, click the Close button in the upper right corner
of the notecard file’s title bar, or from the File menu, choose Close, or press
CTRL+W. If you have already named your notecard file, it will auto-save when
you close it.

Book 12: Writing Templates
A template in WYNN is a document containing preset information that is used
as the starting point for student writing assignments. WYNN provides
templates for specific written document styles. Each template has blocks of
read-only text that provides instructions (called "instruction text") regarding the
content that should follow.
WYNN templates use the WYT file format. We have provided several
templates that were written by a professional educator to correspond to the
Common Core State Standards in the United States. They are available in
each user’s Templates folder. Teachers can edit these, and can create their
own templates.
Creating Templates (Teachers)
As a teacher, you can,
Use and broadcast any of the default template files to students
Open and edit a default template file and rename
Create your own template
Opening Default Templates
To open a default template, do the following.
1. From the File menu, click Open. The Open dialog box appears with
focus in your Docs folder.
2. Move up one level and select the Templates folder.
3. Select a template from the list and click Open.
119

120
Editing Templates
Templates contain predefined instruction text that is identified with a rose-color
background. (Students can change that color if they want.) Teachers can edit
the existing text, delete it and replace with your own text, or use the template
as is. A student cannot edit instruction text in a template; they can only write in
the blank areas between blocks of instruction text.
To edit template instructions, open a template file. The instruction text displays
with a rose-color background.
1. To edit text in blocks of instruction text: You can edit any of the
text inside any block of instruction text the same way you would edit
any document.
2. To add a new block of instructional text: You can add new blocks
of instruction text by typing that text in a blank area in the template.
When finished, select the text you wrote, and from the Edit menu,
click “Mark as Instruction Text.” This applies a rose-color
background to the paragraph. Be sure to add a blank line between
paragraphs before you mark a paragraph as instruction text.
3. To turn instructional text back into regular text: You can make any
instructional text into regular text by clicking anywhere in a paragraph
with the rose background. Next, from the Edit menu, click “Unmark
Instruction Text.” The rose background is removed and that
paragraph is no longer identified as instructional text. If the text
remains in the template, a student can delete or edit that text.
4. To remove instructional text from a document entirely: You can
delete all the instructional text from a document by going to the Edit
menu, choosing Remove Instructions, and answering Yes to the
confirmation dialog. You should not need to use this command, It is
intended for students to use after they are done writing and no longer
need the instruction text. Save your changes and close the template.

Linking a Template to a PAL Document (Teachers)
Important Note:
We strongly recommend that you specify a template here. If you do not,
students have to take several extra steps to use templates. Students
will have a much better experience if you define a template here.”
1. You must be logged in using an account with teacher permissions to
do this. To associate a template with a PAL document, click the
Explain button in the left panel. The Explain tab opens in the PAL
Configuration dialog box.
2. Click the Browse button to locate and select the template (WYT) file.
The local file path displays in the Template Document Name box.
3. Click OK to save and close the PAL Configuration dialog box, or click
Apply to save without closing the dialog box.
4. To broadcast a template, see Broadcasting Documents and Settings
later in this document. If you have created or edited a template, you
must broadcast it to students for them to use it with their PAL
document.
Opening a Template (Students)
When a student initially opens a template from within a PAL, the default file
name is Untitled.wyx. Note that the file extension is automatically
changed from WYT to WYX. You must save the template document as a
WYNN (.wyx) document before you can type in it.
To open a template for a PAL document, students should click the Explain
button in the left panel. They can then use their notecards to review ideas and
information and begin writing their paper.
If the teacher has not provided a template for your PAL document and you
want to use one, don’t press the Explain button. Instead, use the Open button
on the blue toolbar, look in the Templates folder, and select the template file
that is most appropriate for your writing task.
121

122
To open a template not associated with a PAL document, click the Open
button on the blue toolbar, then change the Files of type field to WYNN
Template Documents (*.wyt), then click Open after selecting the template file
you want. You may need to look in the Templates folder to find the right
template.
Hiding or Showing Instruction Text in a Template
(Students)
While a student is writing a paper using a template, he or she may want to see
how the paper will look without the instruction text. You can hide the instruction
text by going to the View menu and selecting Hide Instructions. This does not
remove the instructions, but just hides them until you want to show them again.
To show the instruction text again, go to the View menu and select Show
Instructions.
If you save your paper with instructions hidden, they will still be hidden when
you open the paper again. You can always choose Show Instructions to view
them because they are always there.
Permanently Removing Instruction Text from a
Template (Students)
When you are completely done with your paper, you may not need to keep the
instruction text any longer. You can delete all the instructional text from a
document by going to the Edit menu, choosing Remove Instructions, and
answering Yes to the confirmation dialog. This will permanently remove the
instruction text, so do not do this until you are sure you will not need the
instruction text in the future.
Publishing Your Paper (Students)
After you are done writing a paper using a template, you can save and print it
to hand it in. If you want to add more formatting, graphics, or charts, you may
want to export your file to a word processor like Microsoft Word. To do this, first
save your file. Then use the Export to Word button on the blue toolbar. It will
send a copy of your file to Microsoft Word and automatically save it in RTF
format. If Word is not open, WYNN will open it for you.

Book 13: Scanning and Other Ways to Get
Material into WYNN

Creating WYNN Files Using the Freedom Import
Printer
126
WYNN Wizard includes a virtual printer that provides the ability to convert files
from PDF files, or any other file format, to a WYNN document. This virtual
printer, called the Freedom Import Printer, shows up on the list of printer
drivers in the Print dialog box.
The following topics provide example for opening a PDF formatted file and
converting it to a WYNN (WYX) formatted file using the Freedom Import Printer
and WYNN Wizard.
Opening a PDF file from within WYNN
There are two ways to open PDF files using WYNN Wizard:
The first is to open the PDF file from within WYNN
The second is to open Adobe Acrobat Reader and print the PDF using
the Freedom Import Printer. This conversion process is described in
Converting Files Using the Freedom Import Printer.
To open a PDF using WYNN, do the following:
1. Start WYNN.
2. From the File menu, choose Open. The Select a File to Open dialog
appears.
3. Change the "Files of type" field to Adobe PDF Documents.
4. Select the PDF file you want, and click the Open button. The file is
automatically converted to the WYNN file format.
Converting Files Using the Freedom Import Printer
You can also convert PDF document, or documents from any other file format,
into WYNN documents using the Freedom Import Printer. The Freedom Import
Printer is only available in WYNN Wizard.
Note: This process also works for converting online PDF files.

1. From any application, open a file you want to open with WYNN
Wizard.
2. From the File menu, choose Print. Select Freedom Import Printer as
your printer.
3. If desired, specify the range of pages to be "printed."
4. Select OK.
The Freedom Import Printer will convert the document to a WYNN file. If
WYNN is not open, the Virtual Printer will open it. You may wish to save the file
as a WYX file after it is opened in WYNN.
Introduction to Workflows
Introduce and then point to back of book for more information. Point out that
these are preconfigured scanning/acquisition settings that can be used for the
type of document involved or something like that. See Book 21: Workflow
Settings for more information.
A workflow is a group of pre-defined settings that control how documents and
images are acquired and processed. Workflows can acquire single or multiple
pages, acquire simple or complex documents with tables and other formatting,
or acquire pages manually or automatically. You can also create your own
workflow to meet your needs.
The settings for each workflow are divided into two groups: Acquire and
Process. Acquisition settings control how the workflow acquires images and
where the page is placed in the document. Process settings control how text is
recognized and where the reading cursor is positioned. Refer to the sections
below for details.
Acquiring Difficult Text
When scanning difficult text, such as very small text, unusual fonts, or unusual
layouts, use the workflow best suited for the type of work you are doing, and
then use that is best for the task at hand, and then use Dynamic Zoning to
make the appropriate changes to the document. See page 128 for Dynamic
Zoning procedures.
127

128
Dynamic Zoning (Rearranging Text in an Acquired
Document)
Dynamic Zoning allows you to define your own reading order on an acquired
page. Dynamic Zoning can also be used to avoid recognition errors from
graphics, or to exclude the speaking of headers, footers, or other unwanted
text.
Note: Use the Dynamic Zoning feature before using the Document Clean-up
feature (page 130).
1. From the Advanced menu, click Dynamic Zoning, and then Enable
Dynamic Zoning and Show Current Zones.
The acquired image appears in Exact View mode with all current
reading zones outlined in blue.
Take a moment to study the document and determine how you want to
redefine reading zones.

2. Select the Re-Define button to remove the current zone indicators so
that you can redraw the zones in the correct order.
3. Use your mouse to draw a box around each block of text you wish to
have spoken. A red outline appears around redefined zones.
The reading order is determined by the order in which you define the
zones. Do not draw zones around pictures or other graphic images
that cannot be spoken.
Note: If you make a mistake while redefining zones, click the Revert button to
return to the original zones on that page. You may also use Erase to
erase all zones created and start over again.
129

130
4. To continue changing zones on other pages of the acquired
document, press the Page Down key until the next page appears.
(The message “Loading Page” appears in the lower left corner.) Again,
the existing zones appear in blue.
5. Repeat step 2 and 3 to redefine the reading order for the next page.
Repeat this process for each page you wish to re-zone.
6. After defining new zones on all pages that apply, select the Re-
Process button. This tells WYNN to refresh the document using the
newly defined zoning order.
Document Clean-up (Correcting Text in an Acquired
Document)
Use the Document Clean-up feature to correct any scanning or recognition
errors that occurred during document scanning. This feature displays both the
Exact View and the Text View of the document so you can compare them.
This allows you to easily correct errors so that the text is spoken correctly in
either view.
To correct the text of an acquired document:
1. From the Advanced menu, choose Document Clean-up.
WYNN displays the Text View of the document in the top half of the
window, and the Exact View of the document in the bottom half of the
window.

2. Scroll through the Text View, and look for OCR errors.
3. Click an incorrect word you find in the Text View.
WYNN moves your insertion point to the word. A pink rectangle
appears around the word in the Text View window, while the same
word appears as highlighted text in the Exact View window.
Note: You can also click a word in the Exact View to place a pink rectangle
around the location where the word appears in the Text View.
4. Correct any spelling or scanning errors.
Important:
When correcting errors, do not delete the whole word. First, type in the
corrections, and then delete the errors. Deleting the entire word prior to
inserting corrections erases the link that WYNN uses to connect the
word in the Text View and Exact View. In this case, WYNN no longer
spotlights the word in Exact View when reading.
131

132
5. Continue searching the Text View window for OCR errors. When you
are finished, choose Document Clean-up from the Advanced menu.
6. Click the Save button from the blue File Management toolbar to save
your corrections.
Document Clean-up Guidelines
Keep the following items in mind when using the Document Clean-up feature.
1. Use Exact View to reference original text.
2. Make corrections in Text View.
3. Keep the link between Text View and Exact View by correcting parts
of a word at a time until the entire word is corrected. If you delete an
entire word in Text View, it breaks the link between Text View and
Exact View. The location in Exact View is no longer spotlighted.
4. After closing the Document Clean-up feature, run Spell Check, in
Text View mode, to catch random characters or mistaken words.
Guidelines for Increased Scanning Accuracy
Use OCR Correction (Advanced menu) to catch repeated recognition
errors.
Modify Scanning Contrast (Settings menu, Scanning Settings
command) for light text or dark paper.
Use Dynamic Zoning to eliminate recognition of changes or graphics.

Book 14: Launchables
Launchable applications are word processing or text editing applications that
you can launch (run) from the WYNN Launch menu. When you start a
launchable, the current WYNN document is sent (“launched”) to the new
application in its file format WYNN continues to run in the background.
Examples of launchable applications are Microsoft Word, Notepad, and
WordPad. This is a quick and easy, one-click way to send your document to
Word or other word processor. By sending your document to Word from
WYNN, you can save time and take advantage of the many formatting styles
available in a word processor.
The first time you launch WYNN after installation, it will automatically set up
launchables for you. This process runs in the background and may take a few
minutes. The launchables will not be available until the process is completed.
You can later add more applications to the Launch menu if you want. You can
also edit application settings, such as the name that appears in the Launch
menu, or delete the application from the Launch menu.
Setting Up Standard Launchable Applications
Note that since launchables are set up automatically when WYNN is first
launched, you will not usually need to do this. If you go to the Launch menu
and do not see any entries at the bottom (after Manage Launchables), then
launchables have not been set up. Do the following to detect launchable
applications on your computer. Note that this is a global feature, so you only
need to set it up one time. Once WYNN has been configured for these
applications, anyone who uses WYNN on the computer will have access to
them from the Launch menu.
1. Choose the Launch menu, and then Setup Standard Launchables.
WYNN searches your computer for launchable applications. This may
take a few minutes to complete. When complete, WYNN displays a
message stating the number of launchable applications found on the
computer.

Book 16: User Tasks
Converting Documents or Voice Notes to Audio Files
You can save and convert any voice note or document that you can open in
WYNN as an MP3 or WAV file. This allows a user to listen to a document later
using an MP3 or WAV file compatible device.
Before converting a large document to audio, verify that you have enough
hard disk space to create and store the file. For example, a 150 page
document requires approximately 1 GB of temporary disk space to
complete the conversion. Once the conversion is complete, the
temporary disk space is free again for use. The resulting audio file is
considerably smaller than the temp file.
A large document may take several minutes to convert and process to an
audio format. Please be patient when converting large, multi-page files to
audio.
Voice Notes can be saved only as MP3 files. Documents can be saved
as MP3 or WAV files.
Note that this feature does not apply to Web pages (HTML files).

Renumbering Pages
WYNN allows you to change the page numbering for your document. You
might want to do this in order to maintain the original page numbering for
scanned documents. You can give each page in the document a different page
number, but each page number must be greater than the preceding page
number. WYNN displays the page number of the current page on the status
bar.
To renumber the pages in your document:

Re-recognize Page or Document
If you are not satisfied with the quality of the recognized text from an
acquisition, you can re-recognize the current page or the entire document
without re-acquiring it. Only pages containing Exact View images can be rerecognized.
If you attempt to re-recognize pages containing bookmarks, text notes,
highlights, or voice notes you have added, you are given the choice to continue
the re-recognition and overwrite any mark-ups, or cancel the process. This
gives you an opportunity to save your marked-up document using a different
filename and then re-recognize without losing your marked-up copy.
Re-recognize Page: Choose this option to improve the quality of the
current page. When used, the current page is replaced with the newly
recognized text and the page begins reading from the top. If the current
page does not have an Exact View image, this option is unavailable.
Re-recognize Document: Choose this option to improve the quality of
the entire document. If none of the pages have exact images, this option
is unavailable. If you attempt to re-recognize a document containing
pages with and without Exact View images, a message informs you that
not all pages contain Exact View images and that these pages cannot be
re-recognized. To continue, select Yes to re-recognize all pages with
Exact View images. Select No to cancel the recognition process.

When re-recognizing pages, the settings from the currently active workflow are
always used with the exception of Recognize Columns. For example, if
Recognize Columns is selected for the current workflow, and you think you
might get better results re-recognizing the page with it off, open the Acquire
menu and click Recognize Columns to clear the option. Then, try rerecognizing
the page or document again.
Split View

View menu and select Split View. When finished with Split View, use the
Exact View/Text View button on any toolbar to go back to either Text or Exact
View.
Zoom Exact View
Exact View is a viewing mode that displays an acquired page exactly as the
original document appears. When in Exact View you can zoom in or zoom out
to best suit your reading preference. Note that if an exact view image is
available when using Split View mode, you can zoom in or zoom out to view
the image in the lower half of the screen.
1. Open a Word document or a document that was acquired using a
scanner or PEARL camera.
2. Switch to Exact View mode by clicking the Exact View button available

2. WYNN displays the number of words in the document.
3. Click OK when you have finished reviewing the word count.
Pronunciation Dictionary
The Pronunciation Dictionary allows you to define how WYNN pronounces
words that it reads aloud. Speech synthesizers do a good job of pronouncing
words through a combination of text-to-speech programming and internal
dictionaries. However, there may be some words that the synthesizer does not
pronounce properly. These words vary from synthesizer to synthesizer. Using
WYNN's Pronunciation Dictionary, you can change the pronunciation of any
word.
To add a new word, phrase, or acronym to the Wynn pronunciation dictionary:
1. On the Advanced menu, click Pronunciation Dictionary.
The Pronunciation Dictionary dialog appears.
2. Scroll through the Word List to make sure that the new text does not
appear in the pronunciation dictionary.
3. Type the new word into the Word edit box.
4. Enter a pronunciation for the word in the Pronunciation edit box.

Try spelling the word phonetically using simple combinations of
consonants and vowels. Use spaces to separate letters if you want
WYNN to say the name of the letter rather than make the associated
sound (this is useful for acronyms).
Tip: You can also use spaces to isolate phonetic sounds created by two or
more letters. The synthesizer clearly pronounces these sounds when
reading the word.
5. Click Test to hear the new pronunciation of the word. Continue
adjusting the pronunciation until you achieve the desired
pronunciation.
6. When you are satisfied with the pronunciation, click the Add button to
update the Pronunciation Dictionary.
7. Click Close to return to the active document.

154
6. Select the Fit Printed Page check box to resize the acquired image
so the entire document fits within the margins of the printed page. This
is useful if the acquired page has narrow margins, but you are printing
using wider margins.
Clear this check box to print the image in its original size, fitting as
much text as possible in the specified margins. Depending on the size
of your print margins compared to the dimensions of the original
acquired image, portions of the document may not be printed.
7. Determine the color mode you want to use when acquiring in the
Color Mode combo box. Choose from color, black and white, black
and white fax, or gray scale. You must have a color printer and
scanner capable of scanning in color to create color photocopies.
8. Leave the Automatic Contrast check box checked to automatically
adjust the contrast depending on the page being photocopied. If you
clear this option, you can then use the contrast slider to manually
adjust the contrast from 0 to 16. Lower numbers produce darker
copies while higher numbers produce lighter copies. Setting it to 8 is
considered normal contrast. The contrast settings are ignored if the
acquisition source is set to use the PEARL camera.
9. Click OK to begin acquiring the image or document. When the
acquisition is complete, the item is printed using the designated
printer.
OCR Correction
The OCR Correction command allows you to specify how WYNN should
recognize certain errors that typically occur when scanning printed text.
WYNN's OCR engines usually do a very good job of identifying text correctly.
However, due to the wide range of type styles, fonts, and reproduction qualities
for documents you are likely to encounter, WYNN may not be able to correctly
identify all words.

corrected word to be in the same case as the misidentified word.
Leave this check box cleared if you want the corrected word to always
appear exactly as it does in the Correct Word edit box.
6. Click the Add button to add the new word to the list.
7. If you want to apply the current OCR corrections to the active
document, click the Apply to Current Document button. WYNN
searches for misidentified words and replaces them with the correct
word.

What are Workflows?
Book 21: Workflow Settings
A workflow is a group of pre-defined settings that control how images are
acquired and processed. Workflows can acquire single or multiple pages,
acquire simple or complex documents with tables and other formatting, or
acquire pages manually or automatically. You can also create your own
workflow to meet your needs.
The settings for each workflow are divided into two groups: Acquire and
Process. Acquisition settings control how the workflow acquires images and
where the page is placed in the document. Process settings control how text is
recognized and where the reading cursor is positioned. Refer to the sections
below for details.
Workflow Settings
Note: Earlier versions of WYNN used Scanning Settings to set individual
aspects of how WYNN scanned documents. The Workflow Settings
replaces and enhances the capabilities of Scanning Settings.
Choose Workflow Settings from the Settings menu to select a different
workflow, change current workflow settings, or create a new workflow when
acquiring pages and images. Below are descriptions of the workflow options
and settings. To customize workflow settings, use the options available in the
Acquire tab page (see page 188) and the Process tab page (see page 193).
Workflow changes are persistent across WYNN sessions. You do not have to
save the workflow (using the Save the Settings command) each time you make
a change.
183

Workflow Name
184
Select a workflow to use when acquiring pages or images using a scanner, the
PEARL camera, the Freedom Import Printer, a PDF file, or an image file. Below
are the standard workflows. All workflows acquire and process images in color
except as noted. If you want to acquire or process using black and white or
grayscale, you can modify the settings for a workflow. This will probably speed
up the acquisition and processing.
Acquire and Read: This workflow acquires and processes a single
image. The new page is added to the end of the document and the
cursor is moved to the top of the new page. This workflow is best for
quickly reading short documents, such as letters and recipes, and is the
active workflow when WYNN starts for the first time. You can change
both acquisition and process settings for this workflow.

Acquire Image Only: This workflow acquires the image and saves it as
an image file, without performing the recognition process. This workflow
is useful if you want to create and save an image file to be used later as
a graphic. Acquired images can be saved as JPEG (default), BMP, PCX,
PCX Fax, PNG, TIF Fax, TIF B&W, TIF LZW, TIF RLE, or TIF
Uncompressed files. Since there is no processing involved, you can only
modify Acquisition settings for this workflow.
Freedom Import Printer: Use this workflow to recognize and open
documents that WYNN cannot open directly. If a document can be
opened in any application that supports printing, it can be opened in
WYNN by printing it to the Freedom Import Printer. This is a specialty
workflow. It cannot be set as your current workflow. Since there is no
acquisition involved, you can only modify Process settings for this
workflow.
Multipage Automatic: Use this workflow to automatically acquire
multiple pages and append them to the document. When using the
PEARL camera, the workflow can be configured to detect motion as you
turn the page, and then acquire the image when movement under the
camera stops. To use motion detection, make sure to set the Page
Acquisition Delay timer to 0. You can change both acquisition and
process settings for this workflow.
Multipage Prompt for Pages: This workflow allows you to continue
reading from your current location and acquire new pages that are
appended to the end of the document. After each new page is acquired,
WYNN displays a dialog box with the options described below. After
selecting an action, the dialog box closes and you can continue reading
where you left off in the document. You can change both acquisition and
process settings for this workflow.
Acquire Another Page: Choose this button to have WYNN acquire
the next page and append it to the document.
185

186
Turn Pages Over: After acquiring one side of each page in a
double-sided document, choose this to acquire the opposite side of
each page and have it inserted into the document in the correct
page order during recognition. For instance, if you were acquiring
three double-sided pages, WYNN would first acquire pages 1, 3,
and 5, you would next select Turn Pages Over, and then WYNN
would acquire pages 6, 4, and 2 in that order. The pages would
then be placed in the correct order during the OCR (processing)
step. In order for pages to be sorted correctly in the document,
make sure you always acquire the opposite side of the last page,
even if it is blank. This option is not available if you have already
activated it, or if you have enabled the Split Facing Pages setting
for the current workflow. Note: This feature is most useful with
scanners that have an automatic document feeder.
Finished Acquiring Images: Choose this button to stop image
acquisition. To start another acquisition, click the Scan button, or
use the Acquire menu commands.
Paperback Books: Automatically acquires multiple pages in grayscale,
but with Split Facing Pages turned on.
PDF File: This workflow is used by default when you open a PDF file
from within WYNN. It is a specialty workflow, which means that you can
only modify process settings. It cannot be set as your current workflow. If
WYNN is unable to process the particular file, you are prompted to use
the Freedom Import Printer instead. If you choose Yes, WYNN switches
to the Freedom Import Printer specialty workflow and resumes
processing. Selecting No cancels the recognition, and the PDF file is not
opened.
Process Image File: This is a specialty workflow that is used by default
when you open an image file (TIFF, JPEG, and so on) from within
WYNN. Use it to configure how WYNN processes image files. It cannot
be set as your current workflow.
Worksheets - Color: Acquires a single page in color and appends it to
the document.
Worksheets - Black & White: Acquires a single page in grayscale and
appends it to the document.

Set as Current
Choose this button to make the selected workflow the active workflow. When
you start an acquisition, WYNN uses the settings for the active workflow to
acquire and recognize the page. This button is not available if the workflow in
the list is a specialty workflow (because specialty workflows are automatically
triggered when needed) or is already set as the active workflow.
Modify
Choose this button to open a dialog box where you can change the Acquire
and Process settings for the selected workflow.
Create New
Choose this button to open the Acquire and Process wizard that guides you
through creating a new workflow based on the settings of the currently selected
workflow in the list. This button is not available for specialty workflows.
Rename
Choose this button to rename the selected workflow. You can only rename
workflows that you create. This button is not available if the workflow selected
in the list is a factory or specialty workflow.
Remove
Choose this button to delete the selected workflow. This button is not available
if the workflow selected in the list is a factory or specialty workflow, or if the
custom workflow you want to delete is still set as the active workflow.
Restore Factory Values
Choose this button to reset the selected workflow to its default settings. This
button is only available if the selected workflow is labeled as "Modified"
following the workflow name.
187

Recognition Defaults Group
188
Use the items in this group to specify the languages that WYNN uses during
the recognition process. (Note that this does not refer to the languages spoken
by WYNN; rather it refers to the characters that WYNN identifies during the
recognition process.) This is useful if the document you are acquiring has text
that contains accent marks, umlauts, or other characters unique to a particular
language. The recognition languages selected for Language 1 and Language 2
apply to all workflows.
Language 1
Use this item to specify the language used to read and decipher text. Select
the language that corresponds to the language of the printed page you are
acquiring. This allows correct recognition of characters unique to that
language.
Language 2
Use this item to specify a second recognition language used to recognize
acquired text. WYNN uses the languages selected for both Language 1 and
Language 2 to recognize text. This is helpful if the document contains text from
more than one language.
Acquire Tab
The settings on the Acquire tab page control how the workflow acquires
images and where the page is placed in the document. These options are
described below.

Acquisition Mode
Use this box to specify whether WYNN acquires (scans) a single page or
multiple pages.
Single: WYNN acquires one page from the scanner or camera,
processes it, and begins reading. To acquire another page, you will need
to press the acquire keystroke again. Single page acquisition mode is the
default setting for all workflows except Paperback Books, Multipage
Prompt for Pages, and Multipage Automatic.
Multiple: Lets you acquire a batch of pages for later processing. Some
additional options become available when this mode is selected.
189

Image Properties Group
190
Color Mode
Select the color mode you want to use when acquiring pages. Color is the
default acquisition setting for all workflows. Some workflows use black and
white or grayscale for processing the image, but they all use color to acquire
the image.
Color: Acquires and recognizes pages of colored text, art, and
photographs in color. The results of color scanning are only apparent
while you are in Exact View. For this reason you must have Keep Exact
View As (page 194) set to color in the workflow you want to use for
acquiring pages in color.
Gray Scale: Select this item if it is not necessary to have the Exact View
image in color.
Resolution
Resolution is measured in dots per inch (dpi). The higher the resolution, the
more dots per inch resulting in larger image files. The Resolution box allows
you to select from 200, 300, 400, 500, or 600 dpi. The resolution is set to 300
dpi for all workflows.
Many scanners have a standard setting of 300 dots per inch (dpi). However, if
you are reading pages printed in very small type and have a scanner that can
resolve as finely as 400 dpi, you may see improved recognition accuracy. For
400 dpi to be effective, your scanner must have an optical resolution of at least
400 by 400 dpi. An optical resolution of 300 by 600 dpi is not adequate.
Note: This setting is ignored if the acquisition source is the PEARL camera.

Acquisition Size Group
Full Device Length
When this check box is selected, WYNN acquires the full length of the scanner
bed, or the entire field of view under the PEARL camera (9 inches by 12 inches
(22.86 cm by 30.48 cm)). If you clear this option, you can then specify how
much of the scanner bed is scanned or how much of the area under the
camera is captured. This item is selected by default in all factory workflows.
Partial Acquisition
Available only when the Full Device Length check box is cleared, this slider
control allows you to specify how much of the scanner bed, or how much of the
area under the PEARL camera, is acquired starting from the top. You can set it
anywhere between 10 and 90 percent. Partial Acquisition is a useful way to
preview your acquisition since WYNN acquires just enough of the page for you
to get an idea of the content.
Adjust Image Group
If you are using a scanner to acquire images, these options control the light-todark
contrast ratio in the acquired document.
Note: This item is equivalent to the Scanning Contrast setting in earlier
versions of WYNN.
Automatic Contrast / Contrast Slider
Select this check box to have WYNN automatically adjust the contrast
accordingly depending on the type of page being acquired. If this option is
unchecked, you can then use the contrast slider to manually adjust the contrast
from darkest to lightest. You should only manually change the contrast if a
particular page is not being recognized correctly on automatic contrast.
Note: If the acquisition source is the PEARL camera, the contrast settings are
ignored.
191

Progress Notifications Group
192
Acquisition Tones
Select this check box to hear tones during the acquisition process. The default
for the item is unchecked.
Image Acquired
Select this check box to hear a camera shutter sound when an image is
acquired from the scanner or camera. The default for this item is checked.
Page Placement
Select one of the following options to specify where to place the acquired page
in the document.
Append to Document: New page(s) are placed at the end of the
document.
Insert After Current Page: New page(s) are inserted consecutively after
the current page.
Insert Before Current Page: New page(s) are inserted before the
current page.
Replace Current Page: The current page is replaced with the newly
acquired page.
Multipage Acquisition Group
The options in this group are available when Acquisition Mode is set to
Multiple. Use these options to specify how to acquire multiple pages.
Prompt for Pages: After each image acquisition, a message displays
that allows you to acquire another page, turn the page over to acquire
odd and even pages, or finish image acquisition.

Automatically Acquire Pages: Select to acquire new pages after a
certain period of time, automatically through a document feeder attached
to a scanner, or as soon as PEARL detects the page has been turned
and there is no movement under the camera. When using automatic
acquisition, use the Page Acquisition Delay box to set a time delay from
0 to 25 seconds. This delay is from the time the image is acquired until
the next acquisition begins.
Duplex Mode: If your scanner has a duplexer, select this check box to
use this feature.
Process Tab
Use the Process tab settings to control how text is recognized and where the
reading cursor is positioned. These options are described below.
193

Image Processing Group
194
Keep Exact View As
The Exact View image can be saved as color, grayscale, or black and white.
To change the color mode of the Exact View, select a mode from the list.
Note: If the color setting for Acquire is set to Grayscale, the page you scan
will not have any color. Even if you set Keep Exact View As color, the
image will still be displayed in Exact View in grayscale.
Despeckle
Select this check box to correct pages that do not have a clean, clear
background, such as photocopies or newspapers.
Text Processing Group
Discard Blank Pages
Select this check box to delete blank pages after you scan them. Clear this
check box to retain the original page numbering and order. This item is
unchecked by default, so WYNN will keep blank pages.
Apply OCR Corrections
Select this check box to apply OCR corrections to documents as they are
scanned. The OCR Correction feature lists misidentified words and their
appropriate replacements. You can add, delete, or change words in this list.
This item is selected by default.
Keep Text Emphasis
Select this check box to keep attributes such as bold and italics during OCR.
This item is selected by default.

Replace Uncertain Text / Uncertain Text Marker
Select this check box to insert a special character, or marker, next to text that
WYNN is having difficulty recognizing. Enter the special character you want to
use to mark uncertain text in the Uncertain Text Marker edit box. This item is
cleared by default.
Preserve Line Breaks
Select this check box to keep line breaks during recognition. Use this option if
you are acquiring a document where retaining the line breaks where they
actually appear in the original text can improve the flow when reading, such as
for poetry or computer programs. This item is cleared by default.
Page Layout Group
Recognize Columns / Ignore Columns
Recognize Columns: When selected, the OCR process analyzes the
text and automatically detects columns if they are present. Each column
is handled in order, from top to bottom, left to right, before handling the
next column. This setting does not preserve the columnized layout in
WYNN, but it does ensure that correct reading order is observed for
columnized text. This is the default setting for all workflows.
Ignore Columns: When selected, it causes the OCR process to
disregard column boundaries that may exist. This means that each line of
text is recognized from left to right, all the way across the page,
potentially spanning multiple columns. This method does preserve
columnized layout, but creates incorrect reading order for the reader.
Split Facing Pages
Select this check box to scan two side-by-side pages of a paperback book in a
single scan. Each page is stored separately, with separate page numbers. This
helps maintain the original page numbering. Clear this check box when
scanning individual pages.
195

Table Processing Group
196
The options in this group configure how documents containing tables, such as
financial or statistical information, is processed. Tables can be organized either
by row or column.
Select Organize by Row to lay out the table text as rows with space
between the column items. This is the default setting for all workflows.
Select Organize by Column to lay out the table text as columns with
space between the row items.
Action When Pages are Recognized
The options in this group control where the reading cursor is positioned after a
new page is recognized.
Select Move to New Page to move the cursor to the top of the newly
recognized page.
Select Remain at Current Reading Position to keep the cursor at its
current position in the document even after the new page is added.
Start Speaking Automatically
Select this check box so that WYNN automatically begins reading from the top
of the newly acquired page as soon as it is recognized and the text becomes
available. If the check box is cleared, use the Read button to read the text. This
item is unchecked by default for all workflows.

Image View Settings
Book 24: Other WYNN Settings
Use these settings to configure the view for both Exact View and Camera View.
Exact View Group
Default Zoom
Select the default zoom level used for Exact View when you open a file or
acquire an image. This setting persists across WYNN sessions so when you
close this document, or open another document, the same magnification level
is used. The following options are available:
207

208
Page Width: Sets the Exact View zoom level so the width of the image is
in the window. This is the default setting.
Page Height: Sets the Exact View zoom level so the height of the image
is in the window.
Maximum Zoom Level: Zooms in for maximum magnification level.
Minimum Zoom Level: Zooms out to provide the minimum magnification
level.
Current Zoom Level: Sets the default zoom level to match the current
Exact View zoom level of the open file.
Background Color
Select a color to use for the background around the edges of a scanned
document. For example, if you scan a single page and zoom out so you can
see the area the scanner picked up outside the page boundary, that
background area will use the selected Background Color.
Panning Properties
Panning allows you to continuously scroll the page left or right, up or down. It is
useful when an image does not entirely fit in the Exact View window. To pan,
press and hold WINDOWS Key and then press the UP, DOWN, LEFT, or
RIGHT ARROW keys. Once panning begins, release the keys. To stop
panning, press the same keystroke again. The options below allow you to
adjust the panning speed.
Forward Speed: Select the panning speed to use when panning to the
right in Exact View. Choose a value from 1 to 20, with 1 being the fastest.
To pan forward, press WINDOWS Key+RIGHT ARROW.
Vertical Speed: Select the panning speed to use when panning up or
down in Exact View. Choose a value from 1 to 20, with 1 being the
fastest. To pan up, press WINDOWS Key+UP ARROW. To pan down,
press WINDOWS Key+DOWN ARROW.
Reverse Speed: Select the panning speed to use when panning to the
left in Exact View. Choose a value from 1 to 20, with 1 being the fastest.
To pan left, press WINDOWS Key+LEFT ARROW.

Camera View Group
Note: The Camera View settings only apply to the view from the PEARL
camera.
Camera View displays a real-time view from the PEARL camera; meaning that
as you move items around under the camera, such as turning pages or
removing and replacing objects, the image on the screen will update
accordingly. This is different from Exact View which only shows the image once
it has been acquired.
Default Zoom
Select the default zoom level used for Camera View. This setting persists
across WYNN sessions. Note that if you make a change, you must restart
WYNN before the new setting takes affect. The following options are available:
Page Width: Instantly zooms enough so the width of the image is in the
window. This is the default setting.
Page Height: Instantly zooms enough so the height of the image is in the
window.
Maximum Zoom Level: Zooms in for maximum magnification level.
Minimum Zoom Level: Zooms out to provide the minimum magnification
level.
Current Zoom Level: Sets the default zoom level to match the camera's
current magnification.
Overlay Color
To distinguish the part of the image that is to be acquired from the rest of the
image, WYNN displays an overlay rectangle. An overlay emphasizes a part of
an image by increasing the difference in brightness/contrast between it and the
rest of the image. The overlay rectangle is always displayed and moves as you
pan so the same portion of the image is always covered. If you change the
page size in the PEARL properties, or change how much of the image is
acquired in the Workflow Settings, the overlay will also change to reflect the
new settings. To change PEARL properties, open the Advanced menu, select
Device Selection, and then click Properties.
209

210
Transparency
Use this slider to adjust the level of the overlay's transparency. Transparency
ranges from 0 to 100 percent.
Panning Properties
Line Wrap: Select this check box to automatically wrap to the next line
when you reach the right edge of the screen while panning in Camera
View mode. Otherwise, panning will stop at the right edge of the screen
when panning from left to right. This check box is selected by default.
Point Size: This option indicates the height of one line. If Line Wrap is
selected, this setting determines how far WYNN needs to wrap in order
to move to the next line. The default size is 10.
Line Delay (in seconds): Use this option to determine how long WYNN
should pause when wrapping to the next line. The default is one second.
Forward Speed: Select the panning speed to use when panning to the
right in Camera View. Choose a value from 1 to 20, with 1 being the
fastest. To pan forward, press WINDOWS Key+RIGHT ARROW.
Vertical Speed: Select the panning speed to use when panning up or
down in Camera View. Choose a value from 1 to 20, with 1 being the
fastest. To pan up, press WINDOWS Key+UP ARROW. To pan down,
press WINDOWS Key+DOWN ARROW.
Reverse Speed: Select the panning speed to use when panning to the
left in Camera View. Choose a value from 1 to 20, with 1 being the
fastest. To pan left, press WINDOWS Key+LEFT ARROW.
Customize Toolbar
To create a new toolbar containing only certain buttons that you specify,
choose Custom Toolbar from the Settings menu. You can have WYNN
display this toolbar instead of the standard rotating toolbars in order to provide
quick access to commonly used commands.

To create a custom toolbar:
1. From the Settings menu, choose Custom Toolbar.
2. In the Available Buttons list, select a button to add to the custom
toolbar.
3. Click Add to place the button on the custom toolbar.
Tip: To remove a button from the custom toolbar, select it in the Custom
Toolbar list. Then click the Remove button.
Tip: The buttons will be displayed in the order you select them, so be sure to
first add the button you want on the left side of the toolbar, then add the
button you want next to it to the right, and so on.
4. You can add a total of 12 buttons to the custom toolbar.
211

212
5. Select the Show Custom Toolbar radio button to replace the
standard rotating toolbars with your custom toolbar. You can select
the Show Default Toolbar radio button to restore the standard
toolbars at any time.
6. Click the OK button.
7. If you want to use this custom toolbar in future WYNN sessions or
alternate between custom toolbars, be sure to save your settings.
Refer to the help topic “Saving, Retrieving, and Deleting Settings” for
more information. You can as many toolbars as you need, but be sure
to save each toolbar under a different name.
Tip: WYNN includes a number of sample custom toolbars designed to
address particular task and environments. To retrieve these toolbars,
choose Retrieve Settings from the Settings menu.

Web Settings
To change your home page, history preferences, hyperlink reading options,
and auto-complete options, choose Web Settings from the Settings menu.
Home Page
Enter the complete address of the Web page that you want to use as your
home page. Your home page is automatically displayed when you begin
browsing the Web with WYNN. A Web address is usually written in the format
http://www.myhomepage.com.
Tip: The home page for WYNN's Web browser is the same as the home
page set in your computer's copy of Internet Explorer. If you change
your home page in WYNN, it will also change the home page in Internet
Explorer outside WYNN.
213

214
Tip: You can click the Use Current button to designate the Web page you
are currently viewing as your home page. This is also useful if you do
not know the address of a Web page you want to designate as your
home page.
History
Enter the number of days you want WYNN to retain information about Web
pages you have recently visited. You can use the History button on the Web
toolbar to view your history of visited pages.
Tip: Click the Clear History button to delete the list of Web pages you have
visited.
Maximum Number of Open Web Pages
In the combo box, select the maximum number of Web pages you would like
open at a time. The default is Unlimited.
Read Hyperlinks
Use these commands to determine if WYNN reads hyperlink text aloud when
you hover your mouse cursor over a Web link.
When checked, Read Hyperlinks enables WYNN to speak the hyperlink text.
A slight delay is typical when you are waiting for WYNN to speak after you
mouse-over or tab to the hyperlink. It is best to have some delay so that WYNN
will not start reading hyperlinks that you did not intend to read. You can set the
reading delay that occurs by choosing Delay Before Reading Hyperlinks and
selecting one of the following values: 0.5, 1, 1.5, or 2 seconds.
Auto Complete
By checking Auto-complete Web addresses, WYNN can automatically
complete a previously visited Web address when you are retyping it into the
address bar.

Differential Coloring
To change the color of specific characters or words in your documents, choose
Differential Coloring from the Settings menu. You can use differential
coloring for exercises involving certain types of prefixes or suffixes or to
emphasize letter combinations that may be difficult to distinguish.
To display certain characters or words in a different color:
1. From the Settings menu, choose Differential Color Settings
2. In the Character String edit box, type the character(s) or word(s) you
want to differentiate.
3. In the Differential Color combo box, choose the color you want to use
to display the character string you entered.
4. Select the Whole Words Only check box to apply the differential
coloring to the character string only when it appears by itself. Clear
this check box to apply differential coloring to the character string even
when it appears as part of a larger word.
5. Select the Show Differential Coloring check box to enable differential
coloring. Clear this check box if you do want WYNN to apply
differential coloring to text.
6. Click Add to add the character string to the Defined Combinations list.
Tip: You can delete a character string by selecting it in the Defined
Combinations list and clicking Remove. WYNN will no longer apply
differential coloring to the character string.
7. Click the OK button. To save these settings for future use, choose
Save Settings from the Settings menu. See the help topic “Saving,
Retrieving, and Deleting Settings” for more information.

Appendix E: Activation Options
Software activation is an easy, one-time process that uses a 20-character
Authorization code to help Freedom Scientific verify your product’s license. The
Authorization code is available on the Authorization CD and WYNN’s CD
package. Use the Authorization CD to copy the code to your computer. This
saves the time and trouble of having to manually type the 20-character code
during the Activation process.
If you do not have immediate Internet access, use the procedures in this
chapter to activate your product.
Before You Begin:
1. Locate your 20-character Authorization number, which appears on the
WYNN product packaging.
2. Install your 20-character Authorization number as previously described
in Activating WYNN on page 13.
3. There are several ways to activate WYNN. Determine which method
you want to use. For example:
Use the Internet to connect directly to Freedom Scientific and use
the automated activation process. This is the fastest method and is
recommended, as described in WYNN Installation Process on page
11.
Call Freedom Scientific’s Customer Support and request that an
Activation License code be sent to you by e-mail or on a CD.
Send a fax to Freedom Scientific’s Customer Support and request
that an Activation License code be sent to you by e-mail or on a
CD.
Use another computer with Internet connectivity to download an
Activation License code from FSActivate.com. Once it is received, it
can be copied to a disk or CD and used to activate WYNN.
237

Starting the Activation Process
238
Until you activate WYNN, the Activation dialog box appears each time you try
to open the WYNN application.
To start the activation process:
1. Select the WYNN application shortcut from the desktop.
2. From the WYNN Activation dialog box, click Activate.
3. A WYNN dialog box appears. It contains the various activation
methods.

If you do not have immediate Internet access to activate the WYNN
application, choose one of the following activation methods:
Activating by telephone, see below
Activating by fax, see page 242
Activating using FSActivate.com, see page 245
Activating by Telephone
There are two ways to request activation by calling Freedom Scientific directly.
Call and request that an Activation code be emailed to you.
Call and request that an Activation code be mailed to you.
Note: Activation by mail takes several days to complete since a CD must be
mailed to you.
Requesting an Activation Code by Telephone
To activate your product after receiving the Activation code in an email:
239

240
1. From the WYNN Activation dialog, select Telephone to receive
activation by mail, and click Next.
2. Record your Locking code and the Customer Service phone number.
Click Quit and exit WYNN activation.

Keep your Locking code, Customer Service phone number, and
Authorization number, which also on your WYNN CD package, in a
safe place. You will need this information later when calling Freedom
Scientific.
3. Call Customer Service (727-803-8015), request an Activation License
code, and provide your Locking code and Authorization number.
4. If activating using an Activation code received by email,
When the email arrives, start WYNN, select Activate, select
Telephone to receive activation by mail, and click Next.
Copy the 100-plus character code from the email message, and
paste it into the Activation License Code edit box. Click Next.
If activating using an Activation code received by mail,
When the Activation License code CD arrives, insert it into the
computer’s CD-ROM drive, and let the auto-run feature start the
Activation program.
When requested, click Activate Using Authorization CD, and
follow the on-screen instructions. If necessary, enter your Locking
code and Authorization number when requested.

Activating the License Server through a Software
Firewall
Note: The following provides a general overview for reconfiguring your firewall
settings. For a specific example of how to configure your firewall
settings using Windows Firewall, refer to Configuring Windows Firewall
on page 250. For license server information, see License Server
Installation and Configuration Overview on page 21.
General Overview
If your firewall software prevents you from activating WYNN using the Internet,
reconfigure the firewall to allow the following files to run:
FSActivate.exe
CAUtil.exe
CAUtil.enu
Once you have reconfigured your firewall, retry the activation process. The
following is a complete list of all files that need to be allowed by the firewall
when using WYNN:
File Name
C:\Program Files\Freedom
Scientific\Activator\1.1\
CAUtil.dll
C:\Program Files\Freedom
Scientific\Activator\1.1\
CAUtil.dll
Connection
Type
Incoming Port Outgoing Port
TCP/IP 80 80

249

250
File Name
C:\Program Files\Freedom
Scientific\Activator\1.1\
FSActivate.exe
Connection
Type
Incoming Port Outgoing Port
TCP/IP 80 80
If you cannot reconfigure the firewall, or if you still cannot activate the software,
go to www.FSActivate.com. Follow the instructions on the Web page to
retrieve an Activation License code.
Finding your Locking Code
To use FSActivate.com, you need your Authorization number and the license
server’s Locking code. Do the following to find the Locking code:
1. From the Start button, choose All Programs, Freedom Scientific,
Network, and Update WYNN Authorization.
2. Choose Start Activation.
3. If you are asked to insert your Authorization CD, specify that you want
to enter the Authorization number manually.
4. Choose Activate.
5. Select the Telephone to Receive Activation by Mail option and

Example:
c:\package.exe /ReplaceSettings "c:\FS setup\NewSettings.ini"
253

254
/ReplaceLanguage
Specifies a resource DLL for the setup package engine to use instead of the
resource DLL file stored in the bootstrapper. This flag can be used to specify
an alternate, external set of resources for the installation. If there are spaces
in the path to the file, the path must be enclosed in quotes.
Example:
c:\package.exe /ReplaceLanguage "c:\FS setup\NewResources.dll"
/Log [Path-to-file]
Outputs the setup package process to a log file. Specifying a path to the log
file is optional. If not specified, the log file will be created under the same
folder as the setup executable and be named FS_Setup_Package.log.
Example:
/Type
c:\package.exe /Log
The log file is created under c:\FS_Setup_Package.log.
c:\package.exe /Log "c:\myFolder\mySetup.log"
The log file is created under c:\myFolder\mySetup.log.
Specifies the setup type to use instead of the default. To view a list of
available setup types, use the /MoreHelp command-line option, or check the
list of options later in this section titled Additional Command-line Options.
Example:
c:\package.exe /type Silent
/Passthru @
This argument will append the specified command to the specified installers in
a given package.

- this portion of the argument specifies
the installers which will receive the command. Each of the Installer strings
should correspond to a section name in Settings.ini.
- the command to append to each of the specified installer's
command-line. If you wish to passthrough a command that includes the
characters /, - or # you must use the following escape sequences:
Sequence String
#0 #
#1 -
#2 /
Note: All occurrences of # in are interpreted as the beginning of
an escape sequence. All instances of # and the character which
follows the # will be replaced if a matching string can be found. If no
corresponding string can be found then the # and the character
following it will be removed.
For example, the sequence ## in would be removed
whereas #0 would be replaced with #.
Example:
c:\Package.exe /passthru AnInstaller,AnotherInstaller@#2l
Assume that the following is the Settings.ini from the above package.exe.
---Begin Settings.ini---
