I wonder why it wouldn't optimize a scanned image just as well as a camera image. After all, an image is an image. I imagine it needs a particular format or formats. But I would think this would be expanded in the desktop version. Although be it that it requires Windows 10 I wouldn't be surpris

Hello Listers, I am just wondering if the KNFB Reader can be used as a substitute for the Openbook program with Windows 10, which I am not in a hurry to reinstall, and then upgrade. The clearest way I guess I can ask the question is if one can use a flatbed scanner with the software in the

How do you make jaws read punctuation in thunderbird or Word? It reads question mark but not period or commas. With Window-eyes someone (sorry, can't remember who) even made a wonderful script where you could toggle spoken punctuation. Finding, buying and installing jaws scripts is out of the

I know W-E gave us its own way to check spelling, but I've used the alt-f7 method for spellchecking for years in Window-Eyes. Just to play with JAWS and my Office 2010, I tried the old f7 way. JAWS does a nice job, saying and then spelling the incorrect word, then doing the same for what it sugge

Glad we got that point sorted out. Would have thought  it to be rather old-fashioned, should it request a camera, to perform an internal file. In reality, as I showed in my earlier walk-through of an OCR process, the camera will be rendered useless, long as you are handling the electronic docum
