Mary,
I could never have run my business without my optacon either. I love speech
and screen readers and all, but there is still nothing at all like what the
optacon does for us. I learn things better when I use the optacon to read
it. There is definitely something to be said for being able to have that
sensory input when you are learning.
Best to you,
Dianne
