Sounds like Microsoft borrowed that organizational helper idea from
Evernote. At least One Note is somewhat accessible. Any other great
One Note tips?

Hello.
so if I have a PDF file, one of those which is all text but where the text is
pasted as a graphic such that OCR software like Nuance's PDF converter
professional and others are in effective:
then can I open the inaccessible PDF file in Adobe, then hit CTRL A to
presumably select all pages in the open Pdf file, then CTRL C to copy and then
paste it using CTRL V in onenote and follow the couple of steps in onenote as
described below to make all that graphical text readable by the PC cursor of
JAWS? Really?

Hello,
I have not yet heard the podcast from Freedom Scientific, but I want to point out to
people using Office 2010 with OneNote in the suite that you can do OCR on image files
using that program. You can extract text from .tif, .jpg, .pdf, etc. If you open a .TIF
file that contains text (in Windows Photo viewer for example), simply copy the text to
the clipboard. Open OneNote using Windows key with N. Paste the contents of the
clipboard. If you get a pop up menu choose to open the file as a print out so you can
add notes. When the image is pasted arrow up or down to the line that says something
like "machine generated text" and use application key. Arrow down to the menu
choice for copying text from image and press enter key. You can then open Word and paste
the text. It does a pretty good job.
Take care.

Hi,
I agree with you about the OCR.
In Israel, I use ABBYY FineReader 11 professional edition because the OCR is
much better and I don't think that omnipage has Hebrew support.
So, JAWS 13 will not have Hebrew OCR but Baum uses FineReader and has Hebrew.
But, because I don't like Baum and I love FS, I will be stuck for this feature!
Adi.
Regards,
Adi.

The OCR thing is way cool. Especially when Errick read the DVD main menu with
it. Think about it. If JFW 13 when it does work with Win 8 doesn't hook like
NVDA and System Access do, it'll be So much easyer still to watch a DVD on your
own. Pluss you'll be using WMP which is already easy to use some what as it is.
This will only make it all the more easier. Assuming JAWS works with out
hooking to the Video that is.
See because since it does that WMP thinks JAWS wants to coppy the disk so
that's why one gets that diolauge about not being able to run the analogue
coppy protection thing. In short, If JAWS doesn't hook to the video in Win 8,
and if the OCR can scan DVD menus like it did for Erick, watching movies will
be golden on the PC.

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.
