You forgot one thing, what about also including the OS?  Smile

Subject: Window-Eyes and OCR

OK, I am going to wade in here with an opinion from a minion; namely me.

Is OCR technology a cool thing? Yes it is. Is OCR a text to speech program 
function? I would argue that it is not.

If Window-Eyes stays away from OCR technology being built-in I think this would 
be a good thing. I am not a proponent of software bloat. The smaller my screen 
reading application can be the happier I am. If I was to take the side of OCR 
should be an important part of any text to speech application, I am sure that 
if I take the time to think about it, I can come up with compelling reasons to 
also include a text editor, a web browser, a reminder, a telephone dialling 
utility, a vacuum cleaner, and so on.
