Hi Mary,So can anything be done to make these charts accessible? If not, there is little point adding them to the Bookshare collection, which indicates they are accessible when they are not.

Hi Sandi,No, the images won't be accessible. If they were, they'd have been renderedreadably in the daisy file in the first place. Sorry!

The symbols are often x's or *'s, but sometimes are cute little icons used to represent a particular stitch. Ah, the very good old days when patterns were written out, not represented in charts!

I'd bet the images that you want are present in the "daisy with images" files of books, but aren't accessible because the images aren't straight text. Just a guess on my part, as I can't verify that myself.

I just know it's frustrating to read through a pattern, say to myself "Oh, that looks great! Can't wait to make it," and then find out I can't because the charts are missing.

Are the charts missing entirely, or are they a graphic, which would do those like me with no sight, no good?
