topic covered
kursweil scanner
there was an investigation  on using kursweill 1000 scanner to read otherwise  
unaccessible  food menus on the internet. 
 a food menu was found on a japanese  restaurant in parnell street,dublin. 
 menu located and read by a sighted assistant. 
there was  an effort to  copy and save  the menu, which turned out to be a 
graphic and composed of java script. 
 many efforts were made to  do this using the print screen to capture the image 
and to save it, but to no avail. 
awaiting call back from paul traynor, to advise if this is possible. 

 kursweil  converts  text to speech,  like pdf documents. 
and also  has the technology to convert images to speech. 
dominique suggested  using f12 to save the document, but  not sure about this, 
it has to be checked out.
