Perhaps more useful would be one message stating presentation visual content available then the system grabs each piece and puts it in a slides folder and maybe does ocr on each of the slides in the folder in the background and saves the output to a texts folder. A user then could listen to the presentation then read the texts shortly after the presentation. -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

For example, the user could pause the video to examine and/or discuss a given slide.
