Hi Jerry & listers, Your comments reminded me of my early experiences & experiments with my first Optacon. It read quite well the American Heritage dictionary & what joy when I found a chart showing very clearly the letters of the alphabet in Arabic, Russian & Hebrew & the very shape of the unusual letters in the Russian & Hebrew alphabets. Only the Optacon could show this to me.
