I've been surprised by how well Convenient OCR handles many documents. Are you pressing "d" for document after the "o"? do you wait long enough? do you realize the resulting conversion comes up in a different window?

To have the document I need to use Kurzweil to read it. Generally you would need to use something like Kurzweil or Open Book. Chuck -----Original Message----- From: t.

I forwarded it to my brother, and after he opened it, he said that the 10 pages had been scanned, and not sent as a regular saved document, and would like to know if there's a way to let jaws read a scanned, PDF file? jaws 16,win 7 For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
