[bcab] Re: Turning print to speech

The latest versions of Omni page 16 and Fine reader 9 offer the conversion
of camera Jpeg images containing text. 
The OCR engine will make the text readable so long as the image is around
300 dpi with the usual caveats of  sharpness, contrast and being square with
the edge.


Kind regards

Nuance have been promoting their latest scanning software by the idea that
you are on a 'plane and want to copy an article, so you take a digital photo
of it, which (when you are home) the software can scan and put into a
document.  Is it Omnipage they sell?
