I would, also, providing that it would be as easy to use as the Optacon is
now.
I like the fact that my Optacon is self-contained and not cumbersome. I
just confirmed that my print cartrige is working using the Optacon, and I
did it much faster than a scan into an OCR. I was able to see that the
print was nice and even, and determined that the paper showed no signs of
streaking or any other mishaps.
I don't see how it can be better than this, but perhaps it can.
I'm always interested in seeing new technology, so will look forward to any
prototypes being unveiled.
Blessings, all.
Laurel
