No screen reader can read image files, because they are not text, but pictures of text. They wmust be converted to another format, like a word processor. If you have programs like Open Book or K1000, both have utilities that you can use to do OCR on the file, and then they will read the text to you. Results will vary depending on just how much text there is, and how it is laid out. Or you can simply print the file and scan the hard copy with an OCR program.
Andy -----Original Message----- From: DebandCori [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2013 5:05 PM To: 'brian parker'; [email protected] Subject: adobe, jpeg files, and window-eyes At work I am running window-eyes 7.5.2.0. I am having difficulty with reading documents which are pdf, jpeg, and other types of documents which seem to be pictures of words or encased in some sort of frames which the system does not recognize. What happens is that it acts like there is nothing there. Adobe x and adobe reader are there and enabled. It just seems like there is something proprietary which is blocking my ability to access the material. I did get office communicator to work for the most part, that is like instant messenger. But I don't know how to do a lot of things in that environment either. Anyone have any good suggestions for me.
