You can also uses the launch feature if that doesn't quite get it readable, but I've got to find the keystroke for that. Justin

Hi JM, I've had some success scanning these types of files with Openbook. I don't know it it'll work in this instance, but if you have Openbook try the following: 1. Highlight the file you want to scan. 2. Press, control + P, for the print dialogue. 3. Arrow down to Freedom Import Printer, & press enter. Give OB a few seconds to wake up & start scanning, & hopefully you'll get a readable file when finished. Or, install the latest J2018 & see if it's OCR capability will getter done. Take care. Mike.

Hi everyone. So, as most of you probably know, a lot of sighted people, when they want to share or copy something that's on their display, don't copy and paste. They take screen-shots. One can see how this is convenient; you don't have to worry about formatting, all images are represented, etc. Obviously though, without oCR, if there's important information in the screen-shot, it can be frustrating for a blind user. So, I have JAWS 18 on this Windows 10 machine. I understand Convenient OCR has improved with JAWS 2018, but I can only work with what I've got. I'm looking at a page that contains a screen-shot of a powershell script, which I would like to be able to read. I have put my cursor where the image is, and done the JAWS OCR with the "c" parameter. The results are, sadly, as I unfortunately usually experience with Convenient oCR, just not up to scratch for this purpose. Lots of scanning errors. It could be that the image is unclear, of course. But I'm wondering if anyone with more experience can give me a pointer on what I can do with a screen-shot like this to make the image more susceptible to JAWS oCR. I'm looking into getting Abbyy Finereader at some point, and I guess at least one variant of that program comes with a specialised screen-shot application. That'll be cool, but the software still costs a couple of hundred dollars and I'm going to have to hold out on that for now. Any thoughts?
