Hi Brian, can you do much else with one note? I tried using one note 2003 but couldn't use it workably nor could I find any one that was able to use it.

JAWS doesn't recognize the text at all and just says "alert, empty document." For those image files, I have simply used copy and paste between Adobe Reader and OneNote. However, in the edit menu of Adobe Reader 10.1 there is a choice to copy the file. If you copy the file instead of choosing the regular copy command, you can paste it in OneNote and then copy the text from the image. Copying the file should work for multi-paged documents. Results will vary according to the quality of the input. Take care.

Really?

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.

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.

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. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of soner Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2011 6:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] FSCast 58 Discusses JAWS 13 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.

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.
