Dear Access Indians,
Check out the following post on the BarrierBreak Blog. <http://blog.barrierbreak.com/using-dolphin-sayso-to-convert-an-inaccessible -pdf-into-a-word-document/> Using Dolphin SaySo to convert an inaccessible PDF into a Word Document Overview There are thousands of PDF files on the internet in forms of books, manuals, user guides for electronics, legal documents, catalogs, forms to apply for services etc , although a bulk of which remain inaccessible to people with disabilities. In many cases it is seen that a PDF is just an image of a scanned document which a visually impaired or a print disabled person cannot access using a screen reader. Imagine you receive an official email containing a legal document which you are supposed to refer and on downloading the PDF, your screen reader announces "Graphic" as it is unable to find any text. In these cases you feel strangled and have to depend on others for help. In such situations, <http://http:/barrierbreak.com/assistive-technology/hearing-impairment/dolph in-sayso.html> Dolphin SaySo can prove a pretty useful tool. Dolphin SaySo is an easy to use toolbar, offering a collection of features to empower people with learning disabilities to be able to read and write with confidence.
