Another problem with the Optacon II was that, for those who could not use the
original Optacon, it was still an Optacon. It was marketed as a new reading
device, and several of us got phone calls about it. When they learned it was
another Opticon, the callers said, in a disappointed tone, “Thank you very
much.” and the conversation was over. I have one and use it very occasionally.
I preferred the I series. I don’t recall any particular problem with
comprehension, but thanks to the training at TSI, I read very well in context.
Having said that, the Optacon II is on a desk in its case and the Opticon v R1C
is plugged in at my desk. Actually, I have three of the R1 models, as I dread
the day when they may be unavailable forever. Yes, I do scan and use my phone a
lot for reading but there are times when nothing is going to beat the good ol’
Optie!

I tried the Optacon II but did poorly with it. I couldn't get the letters
thin enough and what Noel said about the descending letters is very
interesting.
