[Brett Boyer]

I have to agree. There is not enough description. Is this for teachers of 
blind students? It seems odd...

>> Hi,
>>
>> The Mouse Click Recorder (MCR) team of the Grozi project, Grocery 
>> assistant
>> for the visually impaired, ( http://grozi.calit2.net/ ) of University of
>> California San Diego, is asking for feedback on enhancement of its tool 
>> from
>> the visually impaired community.
>>
>>
>>
>> *What is the Mouse Click Recorder Program?*
>> The Mouse Click Recorder is an open source application managed by the MCR
>> team at University of California San Diego advised by John Miller 
>> (Science
>> and Engineering Division of the NFB)  . This tool increases the 
>> independence
>> of the visually impaired by allowing them to review digital images. The 
>> MCR
>> program can provide image annotation in a format that is easy for a blind
>> person to use and is designed for a sighted assistant to run while its
>> output is accessible for the blind. When using the mouse click recorder
>> program, a sighted person can highlight a point of interest that a blind
>> person can reference.Imagine that a sighted person points to several
>> locations on an image displayed on the screen of a computer. The person
>> makes different comments while pointing at each location. The mouse click
>> recorder program allows a sighted person to record coordinates clicked by 
>> a
>> mouse on an image and save these coordinates into a generated output file
>> that includes the description of the image, the location (x and y
>> coordinates) of the mouse click,
>> and a note describing the location.
>>
>>
>>
>> The current version of MCR is available for download at:
>> http://grozi.calit2.net/files/MCR/MouseClickRec_v1.2.zip
>>
>> The documentation of this version is also available in PDF format at
>> http://grozi.calit2.net/files/MCR/MouseClickRecDocs.pdf
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Please provide us with any features and ideas and their priority that 
>> could
>> be added to the current tool.
>>
>> Your suggestion is greatly appreciated.
>>
>>
>>
>> Regards,
>>
>> MCR Team
