I have also been able to read captschas with the optacon, but not all, as some
are very shaded characters. Some are also written in funny squiggly curlicue
letters.

Subject: [optacon-l] another use for the optacon
When filling out a response to send to a company via their websiete, I had to
type in what I think is called a capture code, or some such thing. It is the
pattern of letters and numbers which are not spoken by a screenreader, but
which ensure the sender of the web-based e-mail is human and not automated.
I could easily read the code with me optacon, and type in the code to
validate the e-mail. I wasnthément sure that my message of dismay and
annoyance over their website and poor company customer service got through
(well, they did want feedback after all), until I received a personal reply
from their customer service.
Long live the optacon!
