Handling equations #2

How will you handle mathematical equations? In Wikipedia, they are present as Images. How do you recognize them and how to speak it out?

http://roncemer.com/software-development/java-ocr/ this can be used, i believe. It is an 'applet', some kind of library, I guess.

"To use the code in your own program, put ocr.jar into your classpath and follow the usage pattern which is used in the src/com/roncemer/ocr/OCRScannerDemo.java source file." - CopyPaste

But there is a possibility that it might work only for basic characters. Mathematical eqs have more advanced or rarely used symbols, which the library might not contain. Maybe we can work on that library too. :D

Looks interesting :) But there is a much much simpler solution ;) I encourage you to look at the HTML source code of a Wikipedia page having mathematical equations.
