Hi Wendy and Everyone
You beat me to it. I could not have put it better.
I think the feeling was that, as scanners were so much easier to use, Optacons
were redundant. I know some people had problems identifying the letters from
the vibrating rods.
I have had an Optacon since 1972 and think it is the best reading machine ever
developed. It does not translate the print, as a scanner does, it provides
your
finger with an image and you do the translation. I like that as I feel I am in
control.
