Hi Ed, The idea is that it will perform OCR on the window that has focus giving whatever information that is relevant to the window. Checking the Jaws help topics should give more details.

The key stroke to turn on Jaws OCR is insert + spacebar then the letter O then the letter D.

Prior to the last Jaws update to Jaws 2018 when using the OCR command I could read the contents of the open window I was on. Since loading the latest Jaws 2018 version, when I use the same OCR commands I get everything read back to me including anything else that is sitting in the background and not an open current window. In short, all I get is a whole lot of things being read out instead of the screen I am focused on. Can anyone help to sort this out?
