Yes you would be able to see the braille and read it with sight, but as it's
a photograph you wouldn't be able to feel the braille with your fingers.
Many years ago I was once sent a photo copy of a sheet of braille which of
course was useless, and trying to get the person who sent it to me to
understand that I couldn't read dots on a photograph was a total waste of time.

That's what I can't understand Tom. If I could see, and was presented with
a picture of a sheet of Braille, surely I would be able to see the braille.

The text has been saved to a graphic type file and no screen reader can
read it. That's why it had to be scanned with OCR software.
Just imagine someone taking a picture of a sheet of braille with a camera
and sending it to you.
The braille is all there in the picture, but try reading it and you'll
begin to understand the difference.
Cheers Tom.

I was going to ask the same thing. What is the difference between a
page of text and an image of a page of text?

Yes, indeed. I'm most grateful to Peter. What I don't follow is why I
got the message that it was empty. I don't understand the thing about images
really.
Best wishes,
Joan.

Joan, it might well be a PDF image. Run it through an OCR prog
such as FineReader and see if you get any better results.
HTH,

Hi, Folks,
I received an email with a PDF attachment. However, when I
opened the document I got the message: Alert: empty document. Yet the
attachment said 64 point something or other kb. How can this be?
If someone would like to look at this I'd be happy to forward
it to them as obviously I can't send it to the list.
Best wishes,
Joan.
