Great story about looking up the word in the dictionary -
one that David might be able to use in his information about
the Optacon.
Best from,
Carolyn

Subject: [optacon-l] Re: Optacon Task List
This is a very interesting list, and many of these tasks are
carried out by me using the Optacon.
In addition, I have been able to distinguish whether
batteries are rechargeable or not if I have got them mixed
up.
I have marked washing machine, tumble dryer, cooker, etc, by
initially using the Optacon.
I can check whether a display is lighting up if something is
faulty.
If the Braille is not present on medication, I can read
necessary information with the Optacon.
Reading newspaper articles is much easier with the Optacon.
I was able to read the diagrams in the manual of my musical
keyboard, which enabled me to learn how to use the recording
sequencer.
When printing anything, I always check the top and bottom
line of each document, to ensure that the printer is working
properly.
I use the Optacon in conjunction with a typewriter when
writing greetings cards, filling in forms, voting in
elections, etc.
I can read the labels on clothing if I want to check their
colour or size.
The possibilities are endless, but I will finish with a
funny story.
One day I was at work, and it went very dark outside. We
also
had a power cut. One of the staff wanted to look up a word
in a
dictionary, and couldn't see it. I took the book off him,
and
looked up the word form him, and read the definition to him.
Best wishes,
Peter
