you can use JAWS's OCR whenever the program you're using has some information that JAWS cannot read. i.e. a PDF that's reported as "empty document" but sighted help says there is text. just maximize the window (the more window, the better the results)and OCR it with JAWS. results won't be perfect but good enough to make sense out of what's there. navigation is limited to the virtual window. you don't have to use the JAWSCursor, just navigate by character, word, line, etc. once you switch to PCCursor, the virtual window with the OCR text will go away. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Petro T.

But understand this doesn't have anything to do with your Internet speed. Rather, it tells you about the connection between your computer and your router or modem. It's the speed of your in-house network, or how fast you could move data between your computer and another computer on your network in your home or office. If you want to know about the speed of your Internet connection, I use a site that works fairly well with JAWS. www.testmy.net/download for download testing, and www.testmy.net/upload for upload testing.
