Just changed the subject to make it more relevant for anyone searching
message archives. <hint hint> <smile>
I use the optacon all the time for reading bills. Sometimes it can be a
real adventure though because of the various formats on the page.
I sure wouldn't suggest it for a beginning user unless you can get
verification that the bill amount is correct.
Actually, I pay almost all of our bills using the online billpay from
our bank, but I do need to check the bill amounts on those which are
sent via mail and not sent via e-mail.
Also, I need to read the bill address and account information when
setting up the billpay payees.
Because formats are so different, I've found that trying to use a
scanner for this just isn't practical since the ocr software really
can't determine the page layout. I have a hard enough time just doing
it with an optacon. <smile>
But, I can do it. <smile> It really does enhance one's feeling of
independence.
