I came across someone like that probably six or seven years ago, but have
heard nothing more since that time. I think scientists pick it up and look
at it for a while, but maybe, can't come up with the funding to move
forward. Some of us really took to the optacon like a fish in water, but
many did not and were not supportive which probably caused the demise of
keeping it current. For me, it was like moving the print from my reading
glasses to my finger when the glasses no longer worked. It just made total
and complete sense to me in every way, and I don't think I could have
managed my transcription business without it. In fact, I know I couldn't
when I was reading my work for accuracy, something which took lots and lots
of time, but made me a far better typest than ever. The optacon was truly a
corner stone to my career success.

Subject: [optacon-l] A question
Hi everyone,
I have been following the discussion about different models of the Optacons
and the arrays with 100
vs. 144 pins for a while. My question is whethere there was not someone in
Florida trying to design
a new Optacon? I came across him and his project about two or three years
ago, and his project was
funded by National Institute of science, if I remember correctly. Do you
know anything more about
this?
Best regards,
Cordelia
