Janina,

Thanks, I'll have to check that out as I'm using Emacspeak
now.
I wasn't aware that OCR was a new builtin.

I checked out the ClaraOCR and it doesn't sound like what I
was wanting.
I'll see if I can learn something about the OCR in
emacspeak.

I'll download the vividata OCR shop and give it a try also. 
Was hesitant to do so, because someone told me that if you
download the demo, then purchase it you didn't get the full
set of features but kept some of the demo restrictions.  I
don't know this for fact only what another person told me.

Ron
