ACDHear 1.0
------------

ACDHear 1.0 is a revolutionary new tool which combines the newest in image
processing technology with the state-of-the-art audio processing algorithms
to give all people, but particulary the blind, a totally new experience 
no one has ever witnessed before.

This is truly a new era in human computer interaction, and you are one of 
the few fortunate enough to use the very first version ever released
to the general public.

Before you start witnessing this quantum leap in software design, please
note that although the program has reached 1.0, it is nowhere as feature-
rich as later version will be. 

Using the software is simple. Just select File->Open to open an image and
press play to listen to the image. It is also possible to drag-and-drop 
images onto the window.

ACDHear 1.0 does only support JPEG files at the moment, we are truly sorry.
