[blindlaw] ACCESSIBLE COPY OF COLORADO CONSTITUTION

[Daniel McBride]

In Texas, the state constitution and statutes are available on line in both
Adobe PDF and Microsoft Word formats.  Of course, the MS Word format is
accessible without the need of an OCR program.

You might want to double check whether Colorado's constitution and laws are
available in MS Word as well.

Subject: [blindlaw] ACCESSIBLE COPY OF COLORADO CONSTITUTION

Hello everyone:

Any ideas on how I can grab an accessible copy of the State of Colorado
Constitution?

I visited this site:

www.colorado.gov/dpa/doit/archives/constitution/1876.pdf

and got a copy.  Alas, after the document was opened, all I got was EMPTY
document.  This means that I have to PERFORM OCR on the document before I
can read it.

I don't have Kurzweil or OpenBook as I am seriously considering an
OFF-THE-SHELF scanning/OCR software.

I am tickled pink that on a state website, inaccessible copies of documents
are still the norm.

Is there a stateside phone number I can call to see if they'll make a copy
of the State Constitution available to me in an alternate accessible format?

Or am I just plainly BARKING off a dead tree?

Any help in this respect will be thankfully appreciated.

Sincerely,
Olusegun
Denver, Colorado
