HI,
this sounds really cool. Could it work in a lecture setting?

> The Mouse Click Recorder (MCR) team of the Grozi project, Grocery assistant

> *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.
