Hi Rebecca,
Thanks for responding. Currently, I have the unit charging. Since some of
these signature lines area in a table, I can open up a fresh form and get
the coordinates from JAWS in inches from the left edge and from the top.
That is what I have been doing to locate where I need to sign, then taking
my clip rule device to obtain the exact place to sign with my signature
guide. Once I have master the Optacon to where the signature lines are, I am
hoping that my muscle memory will kick in and help increase the speed in
accomplishing this task.
Thanks again for responding.
Eileen

Hi Eileen,
You might want to draw some lines on a blank piece of paper and practise
finding them with the Optacon before attempting this on an actual form. That
way you could also evaluate how your signature looks and know exactly where
you're putting both the line and the signature. Teach yourself for success!
As for finding the line on the form:
Like so many things with the Optacon, it's a lot about personal preference.
The challenging thing about trying to find a signature line is that
sometimes it's extremely thin, so you may have to play with the buttons on
the front, turning up the thickness; as well as moving the scale on the
camera up and down to make the image bigger or smaller.
You probably also need to find where the form says "Signature" or "client
signature" or something and look either below that, to the right or above
it. You will probably have to do this in a diagonal pattern, retracing your
steps, in order to find the line.
It might also be arranged in columns, so that the words 'Client' and 'staff"
or whatever the categories are, are on the left and far over in the right
column are signature lines.
I hope this is helpful, it's such a variable, it would be hard to say what
you'll specifically find. But then, when you do find the signature line,
it's a fairly sure bet that if you can put your finger beside thecamera,
feeling for the slightly raised line on the side of the camera, that will be
a good place to sign.

Subject: [optacon-l] Learning the Optacon & Finding Signature Line
Hello List,
Now that I have tried all other AT methods to find a signature line on a
form (for my signature) that needed to be printed for a client's to sign on
an initial evaluation visit, I believe that the Optacon will be the only
device that will accomplish this task independently. I purchased a
refurbished Optacon in 2006, but since I was in grad school, I did not have
the extensive amount of time to learn how to use it. I would appreciate it
if those who have been using the Optacon since its conception to advise me
on how to accomplish this and to find a signature lines. I know that this
topic has been discussed previously, but now I am at a point that I can
dedicate the time to learn the device. Any suggestions on how to tackle this
would be most appreciative. My husband assists me with several sighted
tasks, but I would really like to take ownership of this because I know it
can be done.
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Eileen
