Ray - not sure where you get alt control 5 from, others that have been using 
the webvisum add on, say the key stroke is control 6; i can't confirm or 
otherwise, as I haven't had any success with it myself! -

  The Webvisum service offers capture of images - text as graphics not 
capturing graphical service validations is what I'm talking about here.  You 
supposedly can focus on an image and then alt-control-5 to get an OCR of it.

  So, here's a site to try it on:

  http://www.blackcountrypodcasting.com/

  This is a truly dreadful site access-wise but I do use it to get the podcast 
that we've got permision to use parts of in our local talking newspaper.  Most 
of what you see on this and other pages is a text image, and you wouldn't know 
the text is there if you cannot see at all.

  I've had no luck with Webvisum recognizing this, but have I mis-understood 
the control-alt-5 function, or does it simply not work on this site?

  So, perhaps others can have a go.

  Thanks.
  Ray.
