AA, June 2021Everything seems to work beautifully. It makes it a lot easier
for a vision impaired person to still use. They can really take it
with them everywhere.
I really appreciate all the work you have done and this is just one
more way the vision impaired can get and stay connected in today's
world... One day, I hope to
meet you and thank you in person. You have touched more lives in such
a profound way, more than you might ever know.
