Could OCR capability be added to NVDA?
The primary problem is that good OCR engines are quite expensive. There are some free OCR engines out there, but I don't think any of them are good enough to work with highly imperfect situations such as the ones we'd be throwing at them. For example, can they handle text interspersed with images?
