Try going to www.radiowaves.fm and go to the news page where you will find
articles which have been scanned from various newspapers as GIF I would be
interested in your results.

I have read a newspaper article in a .jpg file with Fine Reader. I could try
a .gif file if you know of one on a web page.

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.
