Hi Liuda, Below are a few notes I've saved for what you are wanting to do.
From: Brian Lee Hello Jerry, There are a couple things you can try if you have Microsoft Office. OneNote 2010 (and I think OneNote 2007) will copy text from a picture and place it on the Windows clipboard. 1. Select the JPG file in the folder list without opening the file. 2. Copy the file to the clipboard using CTRL+C. 3. Use Windows key with N to open OneNote. 4. Paste the clipboard contents by using CTRL+V. 5. Use up arrow until you hear "machine generated alternative text" and perhaps some of the text from the picture. 6. Use your application key or Shift+F10 to bring up the context menu. 7. Use down arrow key to the "copy text from picture" choice and press enter key. 8. Open Microsoft Word and paste the text using CTRL+V. 9. You can save the file in word 2010 as a word document or a PDF. If you have an earlier version of Microsoft Office, you can open the .JPG file in Paint and save it as a TIF file. You can then open the TIF file in the Microsoft Office Document Imaging program and use that program to extract the text and send it to Microsoft Word. Take care. Brian Lee [email protected] Original Message ----- From: Mike B. Hi All, I am trying to convert a document that I received in JPG format to text. I'm running XP Pro, Openbook 7.2, J13 latest, & Office 2002. Can this be done using the programs stated? If so, how can this task be performed?Detailed steps would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much, take care. Mike From: Mike B. These are the steps I used to convert the JPG files into a Word doc & Text file. 1. Highlight the Image JPG file. 2. Open the context menu. 3. Arrow down to, Open With, & press enter. Or, just press the letter H, after opening the context menu. 4. Choose Openbook in the list of programs & press enter or, tab to okay & press the spacebar. Openbook will now read the file. 4. Now, save it using, save as, from the file menu in Openbook. Mike From: Gene I don't have a jpg image file to try this with but Openbook opens JPG files. This procedure will probably work. Use the open dialog, control o, to open the file. If conversion doesn't start automatically, I don't know if it's supposed to or not, then use the print command, control p, select Freedom Import printer and start printing. The image will be converted to a virtually printed document and the text will be recognized if it can be and, of course, if there is text in the image in the first place. Gene From: Steve You can highlight the file in OB7. Save your JPEG file to a known location. Open OB7. Control-O to the open files dialog. Tab to the files type list and select image files. You'll see JPEG there. Use the usual path finding procedure to tell OB7 where you have the JPEG file stored and then open it. Note: If you go into the keep exact view, you will preserve inasmuch as possible the original formatting and layout of the file. Steve From: Flor Lynch Mike, I might convert the file with paint to *.bmp, and then OCR it; or I might virtually print the .jpg (or .bmp) file with OpenBook's Freedom Import printer. Ultimately, you might have to print it on paper, if a reasonable to you level of accuracy in OCR can't be got any other way. Flor Take care.

I realize that JAWS reads text only, but is there some way to change JPG formatted information into something that we would be able to read in some way? I have a feeling there is not, but I must ask nevertheless. Thank you!
