Hello, Some of you may find thii message, especially the URL which it gives, useful. I'm looking at the GoCR source code to see what has to be done to make it an easily-used filter John -- John J.

GOCR *is* a command line program, and blind users of Microsoft Windows can use it in combination with The vOICe video software as described at the URL http://www.seeingwithsound.com/ocr.htm to convert a captured video snapshot into a plain text file which in turn gets spoken via a text to speech engine. GOCR is here used to take an image file and produce text. Part of the description on the use of GOCR on this web page should be applicable to Linux users, but any executables on that page were prepared only for use under Microsoft Windows.
