Katherine, when checking recipe or something, have you ever tried putting
something thin like a ruler below your line, so at least the camera would
stay on the line you want? I used to have to get patient information from a
clinic list, and I usually moved a light book on my cable at the time, and
that tended to help me stay where I needed to be. Had I thought of a ruler
then, I might have tried it.

Fran,
Some of your comments are a little puzzling. If I take notes of any kind,
I need two hands. A one-handed Optacon would provide no advantage. As to
the uncomfortable sitting position, I don't understand that wither. One of
the joys of the Optacon is that it can be used anywhere. I've even read in
bed. Is it possible that you haven't explored all the choices available to
you? Do you have electricity in only one inconvenient spot?
The Optacon has many drawbacks. I would agree that when I take notes (for
example copying a recipe in braille) I lose my place with the Optacon and
have to find it again. I'm not sure that a one-handed unit is the solution
to these particular problems.
