I use mine to identify incoming spices, prescriptions, cans, bottles, as I'm
trying to do as much grocery shopping as possible online, to reduce cab
expenses.

Hi. I just got my Optacon back recently. A lot of reasons for needing it
were mentioned by a few of you already, so I won't try to bore you with
repetition.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is the ability to read those
lottery tickets. You can't, at least I couldn't, read those with a scanner.
I will say that being able to just put a piece of paper or envelope or book
or card, etc. down on a table and just read it is a heck of a lot better and
faster. Thanks for the Optacon list and Optacon lovers everywhere!!!

Subject: Switching Back
Lerae and others who had Optacons repaired,
As you know, this list is interested in some day re-developing the Optacon
with modern updates. A part of the information needed for such a
re-development is how the presence of an Optacon enhances your life.
It would be helpful if those on this list who were without an Optacon for
a while and returned to it could send a few posts describing how they
managed during the time without the Optacon, particularly describing tasks
that were impossible or very inconvenient to perform. I'm sure the rest of
the list would look forward to these contributions. Thank you.
Catherine
