Well, I'll have to try reading my laptop screen. I haven't tried that.
But, I haven't had much success with the desktop screen; even with my CRT
lens.

Shari,
I haven't had much luck, either, even with the video lens.
However, that was using a standard CRT monitor. If you have an LCD
flat-screen
monitor with a rapid refresh rate, say 5 miliseconds, you very well may be
able
to read the screen.

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.
