You know, that never crossed my mind, as the last time I took one of those,
my sighted cousin read it for me. but now that I think of it as an on my own
thing, it would be very, very useful to have one that maybe gave a slight
beep or something if the test was positive? But of course then they'd be
outrageously expensive, despite the fact that those chips can't be that hard
to produce.
