Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 14 OCR
What is jaws OCR? I am a tech specialist for the blind, and I give training on computer with various screen readers and I also train on Kurzweil and open book. I haven't had the time to look into Jaws OCR, but I am sure that one of my cliants might bring it up one of these days.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 14 OCR
Hi Eric, It's an optical character recognition tool that allows blind individuals to read text in a graphic. It was introduced in Jaws 13. Here's a little more about it: http://www.blindgadget.com/jaws-convenient-ocr-is-here.
