Yes, I've had that problem.  Sometimes, the numbers are small and the lines 
on a 5, for example, come so close together that it's nearly impossible to 
distinguish between a 5 and 6.

I had a problem, a few months ago, trying to enter an authorization code 
into a field to authorize Office 2007.  The authorization is printed on a 
very small label; about the size of an address label.  I tried it several 
times and it wouldn't work.  When I finally had a sighted person here to 
ask, it turned out that what I thought was a 6, in one place, was actually a 
G.

But, I wouldn't say the Optacon failed.  In that case, it was me.  I just 
couldn't tell between 6 and G.
