I mean, of course, that I hope JAWS' new screen OCR will do well on
image pdf's.

The latest version of Cobra still has OCR in it. (Some recent ACB
Radio "main menu" podcasts refer.) One hopes it will do well on image
pdf's, so that people aren't disappointed and that further development
can take place. Now the other big screen-readers will have to follow
suit.

OCR feature is indeed an old yet a failed idea trying to be
implemented by Baum of Germany before in its screen reading product
called Cobra.
Should Baum sue Freedom then?

Let the joke aside, this is really a great move and as Mr. Mosen puts
it well, a "game changer" in screen reading technology. yet İ wanna
pose a big but about the choice of Freedom's Omnipage as its OCR
engine that it is not the best in the market, as FS guys also may
know very well that most of the blinds over the world having
non-FreedomScientific options, use ABBYY Fine reader which is the
pinnacle of the OCR products in the market as of today.
So, a perfect idea with a wrong choice of engin...
P.S: independent reviews juxtaposing the two engins mentioned above
can easily be found with a simple Google search.
