I still occasionally read print music with the optacon.
Gail
Hi Sandra,
I too have read print music. I've also read music intabs on the
optacon. It does rok but you need very good tracking skills as you
have to count dashes and keep a feel out for numbers as they come up.
I also use mine for bank statements and checking the mini statements
you get out of the cashpoint machines. Keyboard mannuals and their
associated diagrams were also no problem for the optacon.
Take care,
Carla.
