Hi Michelle:

I think perhaps in this case Whitney was referring to how a user with
vision scans or reads the page. Many factors can effect a persons
ability to comprehend or understand content that is presented.

Hi Whitney,

I am a little confused. With the problems that is known about scanned
documents and what they can give users of assistive technology, I do
not understand why there is a reference to using scanned document in
your statement below. Please give me clarification. Is it assumed the
user would use OCR?

Thank You,
