Hey everyone. So, I am running an AMD with six processors rated at, apparently, around 3500 MHZ. My system has 8 GB of Ram and is running Windows 10, 1803, and JAWS 18. My preferred voice is the premium Daniel Vocalizer voice. Yes, these specs are all relevant to the topic. For some time

Do you think the budget could stretch to accommodate an OCR package for you? I don't think it'd have to be anything too fancy or expensive. Abbyy Finereader would probably do the trick. Then you could import all the .tifs into the programme and oCR them as if you had scanned them yourself. I'm

Yes. I did the export process, but it crashed the programme (outlook 2010 also). However, the .pst file is there, and it's very large. So I'm sort of assuming it worked and the crash occurred after it was finished. I have yet to try it a second time because I have been unsuccessful in removing

Does this happen only on certain websites? As someone suggested, you could try an earlier version of JAWS, or nVDA latest version even, and see what happens. But some already consider IE to be a "deprecated" browser. In my experience though, it doesn't crash so much as things just don't work
