Re: [JAWS-Users] Recommendation for good OCR program for MacintoshsoJAWS can read scanned PDF files

[Jason White]

If Convenient OCR in JAWS (Insert+Space, o, d) within Adobe Reader doesn't
produce adequate results, ABBYY FineReader Pro 12 for Windows may be better. It
can convert images (whether from a scanner or from a PDF file) into HTML,
MS-Word and other formats.

It works well enough with JAWS to be used without assistance.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Recommendation for good OCR program for MacintoshsoJAWS can read scanned PDF files

[Scorpio]

David,

He's asking about OCR programs that work with Jaws.

His secondary question is off topic, as he's hoping his friend can get him 
the PDF document to him all scanned and accessible, but if his friend, who 
owns a MAC cannot, he's asking for an OCR program he can run on his Windows 
based computer running Jaws 17 and 18.


Hope this helps.

Scorpio

Since JAWS does not work on a Mac this is off topic.

Hello,
I have some scanned PDF files a sighted friend who has a  Macintosh  wants
to send me I want to be able to read with JAWS 17 or 18.-
Note he does not have access to the non-scanned copies.  Do you  have a

If not, any accessible programs I can run with JAWS myself  to run OCR on

Thank you.

Have you tried using JAWS Convenient OCR with Adobe Reader DC and the original
scanned PDF files?

[JAWS-Users] iTunes: Rearranging Order of Playlist

[Mauricio Molina]

Hi All, 

 

I have an acquaintance with a new Windows 10 HP laptop with the latest
versions of both JAWS 18 and iTunes installed. This individual would like to
be able to rearrange tracks in his iTunes playlist; any suggestions? We
attempted the drag and drop method without success, though this could be
because we missed a step. One thing noticed with Windows 10 is that the JAWS
cursor cannot be depended upon to work as well as it had in previous
versions of Windows. 

 

 

We know of the drag and drop key sequence (Control+JAWS Key+NumPad Slash).
We even tried having the JAWS cursor follow the PC cursor (Control+JAWS
Key+NumPad Minus). Basically, we attempted this task using every JAWS option
we could think of including using the JAWS cursor independently. 

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thanks, 

 

Mauricio

The list is fine and in perfect working order.

At such time when I would decide to shut things down I will of course notify
the membership of such an event. We have been running for 11 and one half
years already as of next week at least.
