I had never heard of the optacon until joining this list. When did the Optacon come out? I lost my sight in the mid-80's at the age of 7, but, I'm sure there were some technology developments I didn't hear about. I wish I had a Optacon though. It sounds a bit cumbersome for reading, but sure could be helpful when proofing.

A totally blind person with an Optacon could do it, although those fractions can be quite small. Still, I've used my Optacon to check and make corrections to fractions for a few recipes in a book or two that didn't scan well. It would be a hassle if there were a lot of them, though, say a whole recipe book where the fractions didn't come out. Yet I think a sufficiently dedicated person with good Optacon skills could do it if they really wanted to.

    Can a totally blind person proof a recipe book?
