One more item.  If you have an old braille navigator or know someone who 
does, the battery for that is the same as is used in the optacon 2.

Vince,

The chargers and battery packs for the optacon 2 were unique, made by 
Canon,
and were made especially for the optacon, so a battery pack will have to 
be
purchased from someone who isn't using theirs. They were the same 
battery
packs that work with the power braille; I was told this when I asked 
about
an additional extra battery. If you know somebody who has a powerbraille
braille display, the battery pack for it will work with the optacon 2; I
used both devices and know this for sure. The charger is also unique and
you'll have to find somebody who has one they're not using.

My concern is: do you have the optacon 2 documentation? You won't be 
able to
use the machine unless you read the user's manual. It isn't just a 
matter of
turning the thing on and picking up the camera. There is a skill 
involved,
and it will require practice to learn how to track properly across the 
page
or the screen.

Let me know if you want a text file of the optacon 2 documentation and 
I'll
send it via file attachment.

Mary
