[nabs-l] Making Texts on jpg file accessible?

[justin williams]

Have you tried robo braille? I think the file type is on there for being
able to be made accessible.

Hi NABS,
I am writing to see if there is any way I can access texts that are formated
as jpg image files on the web.
Here is a sample link.
http://dspace.wrlc.org/view/ImgViewer?url=http://dspace.wrlc.org/doc/manifes

This is a part of The Silent Worker, a Deaf community newspaper from the
19th century and the early 20th century (home page found here...
http://proxy.aladin0.wrlc.org/gsdl/collect/gasw/gasw.shtml
)
I need to access articles from here as a part of my assignment for History
of Deaf Community in America class.
The professor is understanding of the accessiblity problem so we are looking
at different altermnative options but I would love to know if there is any
way I could access the texts found on this website such as the sample link I
provided above.
Will KNFB Reader be able to somehow convert the images and recognize texts?
If so how would I be able to do it?
Any other suggestions are welcome.
Miso Kwak
