14 will work. The first keystroke is JAWS+Spacebar. Release that key combination. Then press the letter O (for OCR). Then release that key. Then press either S for entire screen, W for the current window, or C for the current control element. When done, it will say "JAWS in the JAWS voice and you can use the numpad JAWS cursor keys to navigate the results.
In JAWS 16 an additional letter D for PDF files is available, and the result comes up in a virtual viewer instead of having to use the JAWS cursor.
