As I explained to Sarah in an off-list message, many tasks for which we use the Optacon don't require speed. Reading mail, signing documents, identifying cans and bottles, checking print labels and envelopes or setting up pages for a scanner are only a few of the tasks that the Optacon can make possible for us where speed is not a requirement.
