[Blindtlk] Jambalaya Mix Instructions?

[Judy Jones]

Sorry about that.  I can do print reading activities scanning and OCR 
software can't touch.  If I did not have one at work, I would be needing to 
use reader services, which is of course very doable, but my productivity 
would slow.

There is an Optacon 3 being developed in Canada, but is not yet marketed.

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.
