Dear All, The Following is the requirement that is needed for the conversion and I am happy to tell all that the features shall be made available at the earliest.
Requirements: first of all, it should be accessible. I.e. I could be able to use it with Jaws. it should be able to convert color images and grayscale images to monochrome images. it should be able to handle single as well as multiple images in a folder. outputs may be put in the same folder with the same names replacing the originals or they can be put in a separate folder with a small string appended at the end of the file names in order to distinguish them from the originals. the single files processed may be placed in the same folder as of the original file. otherwise, the user can be given the option of saving the modified file (in case of single file only.) with a save as dialog box. as I told earlier, the threshold for converting grayscale images into monochrome should be able to be varied by the user for a file in case of single file processing, and for a batch for batch processing. better there should be preview option (single file case) to preview how the converted image would be for different threshold values. for this, you can have a slider for varying the threshold and the preview pane in a window. there is something called dynamic thresholding where different threshold is applied for different parts of the image in order to improve the recognizability of the image. but I don't know the mechanism of that process. if you know about it, please enlighten me. he program should be compatible with known picture formats like jpg, bmp, tiff, png, gif, etc. better the output be in tif format because kurzweil only processes the tif files directly. in addition, better if the program contains the options to modify the brightness and contrast of the images.
