I've accomplished similar functions with a CRT lens and Optacon. I can
even pick up on the mouse pointer, although to use the mouse is another
question entirely. Were any of you aware that a mouse pad on a laptop
is more easily accessed than the hand-held mouse on a regular desktop
PC? I use HAWS 16 on a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop and can manipulate the
mouse pad and get results on a Focus 40 Blue. A recent skill I've learned.
Cheers!

We're slowly switching to a new computer system at work. My boss and I have

Jaws just isn't reading at all. I was able to use the Optacon to read my
monitor and at least tell the people on the conference call what was
happening. Hooray!
If there were a way to coordinate the Optacon with a mouse, as we've been
discussing lately, it would open up whole new areas for blind people. For
me, it could mean the difference between continued employment and early
retirement. It may not come to that, but it's a definite possibility.
And then there are those screens that Jaws reads just fine, but the
developer left out all keyboard access, and the only way to execute a link
is to click with a mouse. Grrr.
