Hi,
Perhaps look at the OCR build in the Cobra-screenreader of Baum.de.
OCR can work, but needs to look afther and does no miracles, like make a
Terminalservice- or VNC-screen accessible.
I work as wel with Jaws as Cobra, Windoweyes and NVDA and i understand
the meaning of blind ICT-ers on this list that more effort has been
taken by fs to improve the performence.
With regards,
Peter.
