There is now software available that will provide an auditory rendering of images and this can be done on the fly from the web provided that the browser sends a construct to activate the software when an image is downloaded. The software currently employed to handle the image to sound conversion in the form of a wav file from a bmp is called the vOICe which some of you may have heard of. Peter meeger and I and others have veen discussing this on the ig list and It was my thought that we could ask him to work with this if it is felt to be viable? This would have to be a user choice and would of course not be renderable by something like lynx, possibly pwweb speak and hpr as well, but could provide a level of functionality regarding images that is currently lacking. The user would also have to undergo some training but we are working on that part of it to comprehend the audio.
