Totally agree with Charles.
In addition, just a little suggestion.
Maybe during your first readings, you will move your reading hand or finger
attempting to recognize better every single character.
This is not a good idea. Position your hand into the front space with your
index finger on the array, and keep both in position without moving.
When you move the camera with the other hand, all characters and words will
roll under your finger and you will be totally ok.
Keep so calm during your first experiences and do not think you are not able to
read, this is not true.
Congratulation for your purchase.

Oui hello Christina. If you contact me off list with your adress I can
send you a tracking guide if it might be of help in learning how to
track. An essential skill is learning how to track with the camera with
one hand while reading the tactile input on the display with the other
hand. For the most part, the tracking hand is using kinaesthetics, and
the reading hand is using touch. Once you get it, it is second nature
for good, save for a physical injury. Also, properly aligning one's
reading finger on the display is a first set up skill.
You might be able to improvise a tracking guide with a ruler and a
suitably designed cardboard template for to fit the camera, but if not
let me know.

It's here, it's here! My Optacon is here! It's an R1D. Looks to be into view the list archives, go to:
very good shape, but I haven't yet had a chance to work with it. Now I
just need some uninterrupted time, but of course two four-year-olds
have other ideas about how I should spend an afternoon. *smile*
Thank you to everyone who replied to my message and questions with
such helpful suggestions! I'm especially glad to know to expect the
battery charger to get warm (and it did), because I'd worry about
that, otherwise!
