Not only can K100 or OpenBook do this, but ABBy FineReader or OmniPage can
convert images to text. The conversion may not always come out crisp and
clean and free of errors in typography or layout, but I have had good luck
with Omnipage, having it convert things into Word format. I currently use
Omnipage Ultimate. Many of its internal correcting and proofreading and
zoning features are not accessible, but it does a great job of OCR from
paper and PDF, and should work also with JPG. If your goal is to make math
material accessible, though, you will need a Japanese product called Infti
Reader, and someone will have to do some serious editing of that program's
output.

Subject: making gif or jpg files containing tex usable by a screenreader
Hi there!
Was wondering if there is a program available to make a gif or jpg file
usable by a screen reader? I was speaking with the disabilities
coordinator at our local community college this morning and she told me
that text book publishers send text books to the visually impaired
students as file attachments. When they go to open the attachments it
appears to be a blank file..? She says there is printed text on the
screen but W.E. doesn't seem to recognize it? Can anyone recommend a
program to convert this unusable format to a usable format? Much Thanks
