Have you used infty reader to read online webpages with embedded screen shots?
Abby Fine Reader has a Developers package which also sounds interesting when 
thinking of use with scriptable screen readers.

  even best ocr programs rearange numbers with letters.
  For example a often mistake is to replace 1 with l.
  best I know is abby fine reader but I think they are others also.
  I use also a free one named infty reader
  which is capable to do math ocr.

    Hi:
    Reading a Microsoft Article it has figure 1, figure 2 etc as examples of 
code which, of course, does not read with Windoweyes. Are you aware of any 
software to reade these items or a handy OCR or something that will reproduce 
them in text?
    My printer has a OCR but I used it once and it rearranged some numbers, not 
good for code of math formulas. 
    Any ideas? Otherwise I have a sighted person to read me the pictures, or 
screen shots, and I can type them out. This is for a introduction to Neural 
Networks project published in the Microsoft Magazine in Vb.net.
    Thanks:
