Re: [JAWS-Users] question about MJaws convenient ocr
Unsure but perhaps a work around. I now use Jaws2018 OCR feature. A friend sent me a file with extension .prn that had data on it. I highlight file press application key type J and info now on screen. Control a control c open notepad and paste, save. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of mary otten Sent: Saturday, November 18, 2017 2:58 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] question about MJaws convenient ocr I just read the help segment pertaining to convenient ocr. I have just one question. I wonder if it is possible to save text that has undergone the ocr process if a pdf file was the source of the original images or if you have scanned a number of pages using a scanner or the pearl camera. The help section did say you lose the text that was acquired from an onscreen image from things like controls or a set up screen for an app once you move to a different screen. But I was hoping that in other cases, it might be possible to save the ocred text for later reading or repeated reading rather than having to ocr it all over again. I understand that this feature isn’t an Open Book replacement. But it somehow seems like it should be possible to just save out what you just spent time ocring.

Hi Mary, Have you tried selecting all text, and then copy and paste? HTH, Rick Justice "Tomorrow's another day, another way!"

Re: [JAWS-Users] question about MJaws convenient ocr
Hi Rick, I don’t have my scanner connected to this new PC yet, nor do I have the pearl camera, although since it’s on sale for half off right now, I was thinking about it. Anyway, I always like to sort of know what I’m getting into. That’s why I read the help, and since it didn’t say anything at all in the help about saving text, I was wondering if it was possible. I haven’t seen the results viewer mentioned, so I just didn’t know what was in there.
