Bob here. I read with my left hand and do the same for braille. I had a horrible time learning to track; I took lessons in Philadelphia with a very impatient teacher. When I got home, I hired a private teacher and we started from scratch. I worked very hard to learn the Optacon and probably will never be a great reader, but it means the world to me to be able to use it for what I need. I read on this list of someone who uses more than one finger on one hand to read braille? This I have never heard of. Does it make reading a lot faster? Bob P.S. I remember the first joke I read with the Optacon: What time is it when an elephant sits on an Optacon? Time to get a new Optacon.
