Good morning,
I am aware of the ability for JAWS to do some OCR. Can someone explain how
that works, and what it can actually read?
Here's why I ask.
A friend recently posted two different things on my wall. Technically, he
thought I'd be able to read them because it's text. However, it's actually
a picture of text that was posted. He found and shared it. It's either
that or a screen shot.
I've never explored or used the OCR capabilities of JAWS but am beginning to
wonder if I could use it for such pictures.
If so, how do I go about doing this? Any thoughts on this in general?
Thanks again.
Jim
