Although the advent of affordable OCR technology and devices giving
access to computer output has largely rendered the Optacon unnecessary,
There are certain situations requiring print access, however, for which
no other device (asside from a human reader) will work. I therefore would
hope that TeleSensory would reconsider its decision or let some other
manufacturer make the Optacon.
That said, however, I would strongly maintain that a device akin to the
Optacon Model R1D, not the Optacon II, should be built. The Optacon II
isn't worth tenc cents!
