Tom,

Thanks for posting the information.  This looks like another great tool for
the accessibility toolbox.

Subject: Off Topic: Nice resource for converting scanned image PDF files to
text

Hi,all.

 

I don't know where I came across this, so if it was from this list, I
apologize for the posting.

 

There is an e-mail service available where you can send a scanned image PDF
file, and it will be converted into an accessible text file.

 

The service is called robobraille, and the e-mail address is:

All you have to do is attach the scanned image file to an e-mail, and send
the e-mail.

 

I get a lot of scanned PDF image files at work, and even some here at home.

 

Although I try to encourage people to send me files in accessible formats,
it's good to have this option available when needed, especially if you don't
have something like the K1000 to do the converting for you.
