Hello, I hope this is the right place to give this advice. Although I am not blind, I have a disability when it comes to reading. After reading a few words my mind just stops. But if something is read to me I'm ok. Now alot of these corporations that sell ebooks don't have text to speech enabled so that the blind can read the book, but I have found a solution and I hope this helps! Basically it is a program called NaturalReader, I beleive the latest version is 12. So if you want something read, whether it is protected in an image format, or in a cryptic protection, this program allows you to simply draw a rectangle around the text area, and then it automatically starts reading to you. You can also load image files to. The reason I prefer the rectangle method is because as I go through and ebook, I can just keep doing that when the pages are finished. Anyway I hope this contributes something, take care.
