Do you mean, for getting a graphical snapshot of what X displays? You would then have to use an OCR for getting text...
In theory, it might be possible to create an X server that intercepted the calls and made an internal representation of them that was more accessible and navigable. One might start Xorg with either the frame-buffer driver ("fbdev"), or even the "virtual frame-buffer server" (Xvfb) which doesn't require any sort of video card at all.
I don't think anybody has attempted this, but, IMHO, it's the best sort of place to build an accessible-GUI solution for Linux/BSD, as (much like JAWS) it's an interceptor of all the calls for drawing and rendering text on the screen. It wouldn't rely on a particular toolkit (GTK or KDE), but rather would work with every X application that used standard text-rendering functionality.
Just a few thoughts on the matter... -tim _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
