Comment(by ssb22):
I have updated the image-reflow utility at
http://people.pwf.cam.ac.uk/ssb22/notes/ so that it can output to HTML
format, which can be edited in SeaMonkey (possibly adding annotations) and
then displayed on the browser or on Opera (in the latter case it works
with dynamic zoom). As an example of how it can be useful, I'm legally
blind and I've been asked to interpret a lecture today and I only received
the notes last night (in hardcopy and in a language for which I have no
OCR software), so I scanned them in, used that reflow utility, edited the
result in seamonkey, and loaded them onto the XO (using Opera because it
has better zoom controls), and I'm just about to go and do it, so let's
hope nothing breaks (well I'll file another ticket if it does :-)
