Personally, I don't want anything else speaking at me. As Mry mentioned,
some of us can't hear all that well, if at all.
As to the controls for testing, it's well-known that the pages used for
exhibiting these devices are flawless.
The only true control test for an Optacon user would be reading the same
material with the Optacon and with this other device. All of us who have
used the Optacon to re-examine scanned documents can testify to the fact
that there is often missing text, layouts which are interpreted
incorrectly, (two columns hopelessly combined for example), and layouts
that are just not clear in speech--we won't even discuss pronunciation.
In our work these past twelve weeks we have isolated many uses of the
Optacon that can't be replicated by other current devices. If this new
camera can scan round things, that's great.
If this particular type of camera can fit into tiny places, which is one
of our big wishes, maybe can borrow its design. I still want and need an
Optacon. This thing sounds like all the other things I've read about over
past years. It's still not what I want.
