No, the OptaCon was a device for reading print, it was developed in 
the early 1970's, and they stopped making it, some time in the 80's, 
or early 90's I think. You ran a camera across the page, and placed a 
finger in the machine, there were pins that vibrated in the shapes of 
the letters.

It took a lot of practice, and was difficult to be really good at, 
but some people loved it, and still use them.
