You know, we have been reading about the Optacon 3 for some years now and it
doesn't seem to be any closer to reality. Will this remain a pipe dream
forever. All the discussions and exchanges of thoughts and ideas about it don't
seem to get anywhere. Perhaps discussions should change direction and begin
focussing on actually making it happen. I have to ask myself: will I see a
redesigned Optacon within the remainder of my lifetime?
Kind regards
Christo

The more bells and whistles, the more the cost of design and manufacturing and
the more things there are to go wrong - KISS - keep it simple, smart guy.
Bye for now,

I must confess to being confused by the replies. On the one hand, we want an
Optacon-like device just for reading. On the other hand, we want an optacon
module which is a part of a device. All doable.
The souped up optacon III--which looked very much like the Optacon II in a
polished smooth metal case did just that. The speech was made to work thanks
to the help of a certain company. It could respond to input from its
specialized camera of course, and from a scanner, and of course read files in
memory.
It seems now that a module as a part of a more encompassing system with
one-handed reading capabilities is what is prefered?
Just to understand, is this correct?
Personally, I liked the souped up Optacon III just fine, but the reality for
better or worse is that it might needs be a part of a greater system. Man:
I could see as the device was several features like a nifty audio-calculator
with the benefit of an optacon display working together just fine, but so be it.
Thanks for clarification,
Chuck

Hello,
I definitely agree with Noel and Carolyn, I would like to have a device merely
for reading.
Best wishes,
Marianne
