Re: Support for the blind
by Christopher Sawtell on Saturday 25/Dec/2004, @00:05

What would be _really_ nice is a OCR system for KDE which actually works properly. I have a friend who is slowly going blind. He now cannot read ordinary text, and finds life a bit shallow. I know there are commercial packages which work, but my friend is does not have a private income and cannot afford any of them. Anybody know of a solution?

The free versions of SUSE come with an OCR system, that seems to be commercial, but works very well.
