I've used Google Goggles on Android to read a computer screen. It's clunky and takes lots of work, but it's definitely doable. I'm not sure I'm in favor of a dedicated box for this however, unless it can be made inexpensively using off-the-shelf parts and free/open source software, as my phone already does this well enough in a relatively inexpensive way. One advantage to a dedicated box is the fact that the data would be coming directly from the graphics adaptor rather than from a camera that could be out of focus or too close/too far away, but again, price of manufacture/design and software/hardware freedom would be extremely important. ~kyle http://kyle.tk/ -- "Kyle? ...
