Well, I did download, and install it. The main screen seems to be readable
enough. Yet, one big problem is, how will you mark the part of the screen to
be OCRed. When you press the hotkey to bring up the program, it says to use
the CTRL posistion to mark the area to be OCR processed. Of course, you
could always wildly - or should I be more specific and say blindly - run
around with CTRL-arrow keys, hoping you marked the right area.
Unless soemone could test it further, and come up with a way of ensuring
what area you have marked, I wonder if we once again, have to see a nice,
helpful idea, slipping through our fingers.

Subject: Potentially extremely worthwile free program
Hello
If this is accessible, this will probably be a really useful program to
try use with screen readers and it is free. If its not accessible
out-of-the-box, it might be worthwhile making it so.
Today on
www.giveawayoftheday.com
there is a program that says you can select onscreen images or text which
is in an image or graphical representation and this program can
apparrently OCR it and saves the results in a txt file.
This program claims that you can use it to crack the problem of secure
pdfs and ebooks, meaning you basically ocr the onscreen stuff and saves it
as text.
