Re: Corrected link Google books results

['Sandratomkins' via VIPhone]

thanks for this! I will take a look. I wonder if things have changed since the 
date of this article? I do note that there is an accessability link to make 
more of the page available. I am also wondering if one can port a result to an 
app such as KNFB reader to ocr the image? but then it starts to get very 
complicated…

thanks again for all your efforts,
Sandy

Re: Google books results

[englishrider91]

If you have the KNFB Reaûer app, you can do a double-tap and hold on the immage 
and open it in that app to be recognized. I think Prizmo or Textgrabber can do 
this as well, but you might to double-check on that—I ûon't use Prizmo often, 
and I don't own Textgrabber.


Thanks,
Ari
