I really am not sure which version OCR it uses. Could you tell me as to how
to go about finding this information out?

What OCR package is your HP using? It may well be a limited, or demo,
version of FineReader or OmniPage (to name but two contenders). The
dots-per-inch (DPI) resolution, for instance, may not be adequate. Your
mileage may vary with a free version, but results generally aren't as
good - with or without JAWS - as with a full, paid-for, OCR product.

I have an HP Multi-function unit. I have heard taht these units can
sometimes have complications regarding scanning and converting to text
with JAWS. I use JaWS version 11. Is this correct? I use Solutions
Center with my multifunction unit and I cannot seem to get the process
right when it comes to scanning. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Jerry

They can scan the document and send the image file to you. If you have
an older version of Microsoft Office you can do the OCR from within
Word. If you have a newer version of Microsoft Office you can use
Microsoft OneNote to do the OCR.
If you have neither, but have JAWS 13, you can try the Convenient OCR
package for JAWS.
If you have none of the above, you can try submitting the image to one
of the free on-line OCR engines.
