Patent number: 11336793Abstract: A multi-function printer includes a generating section, an image recognition section, a speaking section, and a transmitting section. The generating section scans an original document to generate scan data. The image recognition section performs image recognition on the scan data. The speaking section causes a word corresponding to a recognition result of the image recognition section and corresponding to a drawing, a photograph, or the like included in the original document to be spoken from a speaker circuit. The transmitting section transmits the scan data generated by the generating section to a specific destination when a specific operation is performed during speaking performed by the speaking section or within a certain period of time after completion of the speaking performed by the speaking section.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2021Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventor: Makoto Omuro
