Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Athen] Screenshot Reader Alternatives

Hello,

I had a student ask me for alternatives to Read and Write, and while I know of many, he was particularly interested in the screenshot reader feature.  I would imagine that Kurzweil 3000 would have this feature, but are there other alternatives, perhaps free apps, that have a screenshot reader feature?

The student just got his first position, and he said that his company might have security concerns.  In the case of Read and Write, does screenshot reader send images to Texthelp servers for processing, or is OCR processing done locally on the computer?  This would seem to be the most pressing security concern.

Thanks,
Robert
