I too would be interested in learning more about using the Optacon to read
knitting or crochet charts. I tried it once, but it did not work well.
But when I showed the chart to a sighted knitter, she said it was so old
and faded she could barely read it, either. Anyway, any tips would be
welcome, as I plan to tackle charts soon..
Thanks.
