That is wonderful! I have never had much success using the optacon to read info on computer monitors. Maybe I just haven't been persistent enough; maybe I don't tinker enough with monitor settings; I don't know. I consider myself a good optacon user, even can make my way through most handwritten stuff I get from coworkers. So, even though I've been thwarted so far in my sporatic efforts to read computer screens, the need to access those captia messages might give me renewed perseverance.
