Hi Peter B.
You can't do that. I haven't yet heard of a twain scanner that will even
scan such text. What you can do is, 1. create an alt tag if the text isn't
too long; there's a proper html element if the text is a paragraph long or
more, (see wc3 guidelines). 2, create a link containing the text of the
graphic and have a link on the graphic pointing to that html document. An
alt within the graphic might read <alt="Click here for text equivalent.">
That should do it.
Peter
