[Blindtlk] Jambalaya Mix Instructions?

[Judy Jones]

I found the same thing when I first started, but with practice it gets very 
easy.  I use it for checking mail, paying bills, finding and marking 
signature lines or other info I need to fill out on the typewriter.  This is 
the only way to do it if your documents are not electronic.

I know I found it difficult, but I liked the challenge.  Keeping a straight
line was challenging.

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.
