Hey Bhavya, I am also subscriber of the Braille ACL gmail group where I receive almost daily news paper. But I am talking about the original the hindu ePaper edition which is not accessible. I don't know how braille ACL team is extracting text only from the news paper. Actually they are doing great job, but for me it is insufficient for the following reasons. 1. The edition they are providing is Chennai edition, I need Delhi edition. 2. they don't provide all news of daily paper, which are covered in original ePaper or printed edition. 3. They don't cover special editions, such as the additional copy which are published weekly, such as science & tech, education, sunday edition etc.
One more thing, I have already subscribed to thehindu ePaper edition after paying subscribtion fee. But to my utter shock, its not accessible for a screenreader user, though the copy of the news paper is being provided in pdf format. If you require I can attach here a sample page. Hope you understood what I mean to say when I am saying I need a clean copy of a news paper.
