Recently someone on the list suggested that Convenient OCR might help
with the Flash installation screen.  Recently I tried it out.  The only
text that convenient OCR could find was the window title.  Probably
because much of the window is dark red with light or white text.  Those
infamous buttons are black text on a gray background.  this is a good
example which seems to strengthen Don's findings.

If anyone gets better results than I had I would be interested to know
how they did it.

Most of my experience with color combinations is with attempting to
get
good results from screen snapshots in Vinux with my speedy-ocr profgam.

It needs good contrast and does not do well in inverse video.  I want
to
find a way to tell if inverse colors are being used, so I can reverse
them again before performing OCR.  I probably will run the OCR both
ways
and pick the most accurate.  First, I need to determine automatically
which is more accurate, possibly by getting confidence info from the
OCR
engine. 

I have yet to find an accessible light text on a dark background color
scheme for my website suitable for low vision users.  I have not found
good colors for visited, hover, and active links.
