Rationale

Displaying the full text of images will greatly enhance accessibility for users with low or no vision, making it easier for them to engage with and benefit from the content. It will also help in research and give the possibility of users using the auto language translation of their browser to read the content in their native language.

Outcomes

• Increased Accessibility of Item Viewing

Text extraction supports users with screen readers, making the content accessible to users with visual impairments. The full text is presented in a clear, readable format with adjustable font sizes and styles, catering to diverse user preferences and needs. Options to toggle between the original image and the extracted text enhance user control over the viewing experience.

• Enhanced Research Capabilities

Users can extract and access full text from images, allowing them to include valuable information from historical documents, manuscripts, or diagrams in their research without having to manually transcribe content. They can copy and paste extracted text into reports, presentations, or other documents, facilitating easy integration of important information without the need for manual entry.

• Enhanced Multi-Language Support

Users can access and translate extracted text into their preferred language, broadening the scope of information available to non-native speakers and promoting inclusivity. This capability allows users to engage with diverse materials that may have been previously inaccessible due to language barriers.

• Improved Machine Readability

Extracted text is made machine-readable, allowing users to leverage automated tools for further analysis, data mining, or integration into databases and knowledge management systems. This capability enhances the usability of content for developers and researchers who can utilize the data in AI applications, search algorithms, and other automated processes.
