What this is Peter is items from various newspapers in Ireland. The website
where I encounter these particular news items is www.radiowaves.fm. If you go
to the news page there are items from various newspapers in GIF format. I
have notified the webmaster about it and George bell made one suggestion but I
will also pass on yours.

Hi Peter B.
You can't do that. I haven't yet heard of a twain scanner that will even scan
such text. What you can do is, 1. create an alt tag if the text isn't too long;
there's a proper html element if the text is a paragraph long or more, (see
wc3 guidelines). 2, create a link containing the text of the graphic and have a
link on the graphic pointing to that html document. An alt within the graphic
might read <alt="Click here for text equivalent."> That should do it.
Peter

I have been asked by the webmaster of a particular website for the besst
program for converting GIF images into a text format which can be read by
screenreaders.
