Solution: a browser plugin that converts the website to a PNG, segments it, runs OCR on it, and presents it to the user.

Note: the plugin could do this on a server, for the additional benefit of smaller bandwidth use.

Could be. I don't know how well it implements these concepts, and it seems it only supports mobile phones.
