I work in a school system where there is a student with a high understanding of language, but low abilities to read or write.
What we are trying to do is find a piece of software working with either iPads or MacBook Airs that will allow staff to take a photo of or scan a paper worksheet. Once the worksheet is captured it needs to be digitally sent to the student, it will need to be read aloud using the iPad Accessibility speaking functions or using Dictation & Speech settings on a MacBook.
Is there a piece of software that can use pattern recognition to convert an image of text to text that can be spoken back or copied and pasted?
I was thinking maybe Adobe Acrobat could do this, but I am not sure.
Some PDFs will work, but it's only because they were created in a word processing program and converted to PDF. An image inside a PDF will not be read aloud even if it contains text.
Any Help?
