Abstract
A method and system for communicating to sighted persons who cannot read a standard alphanumeric text, the informational content of that text includes an alphanumeric text is converted to a machine-readable set of informationally corresponding data, and then scanned to obtain an informational content data set. The informational content data set is then correlated with hieroglyphs that are representative of the actions, physical objects and the relationship between the actions and the physical objects presented by the informationally corresponding data set. The one or more hieroglyphs are then syntactically arranged to pictorially represent the informationally corresponding data set for a sighted person thereby to inform them of the actions, physical objects and the relationship between those actions and physical objects as was originally presented in the standard alphanumeric text.
