            Status: UNCONFIRMED

          Priority: NOR

        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mentalomega at googlemail.com

Ocrad ( http://www.gnu.org/software/ocrad/ ) is an Optical Character
Recognition backend. It allows for images containing text to be turned into
machine readable characters.

Not all .pdfs come with selectable text, this limits both the usefulness of
such files and it's potentional auidance. 

If OCR software is incorperated, Okular could link in with Kttsd and read the
document out for disabled users.

Because it could make images into machine readable text, it would also improve
the functionailty of NEPOMUK and Scribo.
