[Nfb-web] software solutions

Hello Marvin:

     There is no software for image conversion to text. Software is being developed that will take images and determine if they are photographs, maps, diagrams or cartoons. Of course, there is facial recognition software, but that is a much more complex problem. 

Regards,

Robert
