To answer some things which I believe have been not answered fully. 1. You can only use the Document OCR feature on a document if it is in the PDF format. 2. For all other window's where you need to do the OCR, you cannot scan the entire document at once be it an image or anything else for that matter. However, the other options to scan the Window, Screen and Control (introduced in earlier Jaws versions starting from Jaws 13) are available. 3. As a result of OCR, you are bound to lose the formatting of the text, so please be careful while pasting the same into a document from virtual viewer. 4. Since Jaws uses FS Omnipage for OCR, it works decent in terms of giving OCR processed text. 5. Total 44 languages are supported by Jaws OCR, the prominent ones being French, German and Spanish amongst others.
Time Saver Tip: if you know that the PDF you are dealing with is a text, then instead of reading the whole PDF just ask Adobe to read the current pages (change the option from edit menu> change reading options) and use the Document OCR feature to scan the entire document even though Adobe has not processed all the pages.
