[Promotion-technology] Feedback on Mouse Click Recorder (A tool tohelp the visually impaired, implemented at UCSD)

[Gary Wunder]

I have seen this note several times but do not really understand its meaning 
or the proposed use. I'd love to help but give me some practical examples 
please.

Thanks much for your effort to help us and especially thanks for working 
with John who is a really fine man.

> *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.
