Correct, and even if such software were available, it would be better used by an authoring tool, as the author would then have an opportunity to correct its mistakes. On the client side, there is no such opportunity, since by assumption the user cannot perceive the image. As a result, such image recognition software would be an aid to the author, and not a reason for omitting text alternatives.Received on Thursday, 29 November 2007 03:09:42 GMT
