Hi Robert,
Glad to hear from you. I have used an optacon since the 80's and read my
math and science books with it. I tutor math to the sighted, because I know
what all of the advanced math symbols look like, because I felt all of them
with the optacon. I can write the symbols for them. I can read all math
texts with the opticon. It is amazing how so many people are trying to come
up with math scanning software and how the blind do not have access to math
and science materials when the Optacon is the answer to accessing all of
these materials. I mourned when the Optacon was not made anymore. There are
so many things you can do with the Optacon that you never could do with
scanning software. Have a great one.

Subject: [optacon-l] Wanted to say hi and relate an experience
It's Robert in NY. I received an important letter in the mail, and had to
mail it back in a return address envelope that was included. I noticed
with the optacon that there was a code on the envelope near where my
return address would go. I was able to put my return address label on the
envelope so as not to block the code. without the optacon, ths would not
have been possible.
