This is very interesting, Lori. I am learning thingsI didn't know about the Optacon. I really hadn't talked to many people about it. I do know it has been around for a long time, and when I checked into it, it was very expensive.

I would never submit a book to Bookshare if I did not have an optacon. And it was the device that changed my life; I cannot say enough good things about it.

True in most cases. I've heard of a few people who could read as fast as they could talk, but that is not the normal reading rate for most people, even those such as myself who've been using it for many years.Evan----- Original Message ----- From: "Sue Stevens" <siss52@xxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, June 12, 2011 8:23 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Optaconon eBayI have heard thaqt even after training it is very slow to read with an ooptacon.Sue S.-----Original Message----- From: Evan ReeseSent: Sunday, June 12, 2011 7:05 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Optaconon eBay From your question, it sounds as though you are not familiar with the Optacon. If that is the case, you might not want to buy it. I don't knowwhether it is possible to get much use out of it without training, but I'venever heard of anyone who did.
