I don't think you're doing anything wrong. You need to install the
just-released public version of JAWS 2018 to take advantage of expanded OCR
capabilities that allow you to scan documents using a flatbed scanner or
Pearl camera and convert them into speech. Earlier versions of JAWS lack
this feature. For more information on the JAWS 2018 expanded OCR function,

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Scanned Image and JAWS OCR
Morning all.
I just scanned a copy of my discharge papers from the US Coast Guard. After
saving it, I tried to open it and read it using JAWS OCR. I pressed the
JawsKey and Spacebar. Then I hit O for OCR, and then D. I heard a piano
chime, but nothing from JAWS after that. Can anyone tell me what I am doing
wrong on this? I went into my pictures folder in This PC to get the
properties on the image, but could not get any specifics on it. I am running
JAWS 17 and Windows 10 on a Dell laptop. I am also using a Canon CanoScan
scanner. Thanks in advance.
Jerry
