Hi List,
Do some of you have experience reading various LCD displays with the
Optacon? We have a hot tub with an inaccessible control panel that we need
to be able to read. What about the possibility of reading such things as the
current play information tags on XM radio receivers?
I've been especially impressed with the notes about recognizing colors
and color patterns with the Optacon.
Merry Christmas to all!--Ninette LeGates
