Question from EASI -- What is the InftyReader?
This might be useful information. If not for you, then for some of your 
brighter students. The InftyReader makes advanced math more accessible 
for students with visual impairments opening high quality employment or 
opening the way to an advanced degree.
"InftyReader is an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) application that 
recognizes and translates scientific documents (including math symbols) 
into LaTeX, MathML and XHTML! Optical character recognition (OCR) 
technologies are invaluable for improving access to printed materials by 
people with print disabilities.Most do not work well with scientific 
content. Scientific documents typically include mathematical and other 
special symbols that standard OCR does not recognize. In addition, no 
standard commercial OCR application can recognize a 
two-dimensionally-structured math equation and convert it to a standard 
software format. The InftyReader OCR application can properly recognize 
scientific documents scanned from paper or in PDF format. InftyReader 
recognizes complicated math expressions, tables, graphs and other 
technical notations and converts them to accessible formats. InftyReader 
can be used by people with print disabilities in combination with the 
ChattyInfty accessible scientific editor application.

Steve Jacobs from the Ideal Group is presenting a webinar for EASI 
introducing this highly sophisticated set of applications.
When? Thursday March 23 at 11 Pacific, noon Mountain, 1 Central and 2
