>From Jaws help about the OCR feature:

Convenient OCR
Frequently, you will encounter images that contain textual information.
These can include a PDF file, the setup screen of an application, or the
menu of selections for a DVD movie. While these images contain text that is
readable by a sighted person, JAWS is unable to read the text as it is part
of the image.

The Convenient OCR (Optical Character Recognition) feature enables you to
access any image on the screen that includes text, or recognize all of the
text in a PDF document. With just a few simple keystrokes, JAWS will
recognize the image in a matter of seconds and activate the JAWS cursor so
you can navigate the resulting text. The recognized text will be in the same
location as the actual image on the screen. In order to differentiate the
recognized text from other text that may be in the window, JAWS will use a
different voice when it encounters the recognized text. When you activate
the PC cursor, or switch to another application or dialog box, the text is
removed and you will need to perform the OCR again.

If you open a PDF document and there is no text available to read, you can
perform a keystroke that will recognize the entire document and place the
resulting text into the Results Viewer for reading. You can then use
standard reading commands to review the text or select and copy sections of
content for pasting in other applications.

To use Convenient OCR, the following layered keystrokes are available:

INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, D. Recognizes the currently open PDF document.
INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, W. Recognizes the current application window that 
INSERT+has
focus.
INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, S. Recognizes the entire screen.
INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, C. Recognizes the currently selected control, such 
INSERT+as a
graphical button.
INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, Q. Cancels recognition while it is in progress.
INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, QUESTION MARK. Speaks a brief help message 
INSERT+describing
the commands in the OCR layer.
The following examples illustrate just some of the uses of this feature.

You insert a DVD movie into your computer which brings up a menu allowing
you to select from various DVD features. You press INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, W and
after a few seconds, JAWS will alert you that OCR is complete. At this
point, the JAWS cursor will be active and you can navigate around the screen
using the ARROW keys and read the text of the menu. When you hear the option
you want, press NUMPAD SLASH to perform a left-mouse-click, or INSERT+NUMPAD
PLUS to route PC to JAWS to activate the option. Prior to JAWS 13, this menu
would have been completely inaccessible.
Note: Depending on the type of screen the DVD displays and the quality of
the text, the Convenient OCR may not always work. Some DVD screens will be
recognized better than others.

You open a PDF in Adobe Reader which turns out to be inaccessible. Press
INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, D to have JAWS begin recognizing the entire document.
After several seconds, the contents of the PDF file are displayed in the
Results Viewer for reading. Use standard reading commands to review the text
or select and copy sections of content for pasting in other applications.
For example, you could select all, then copy and paste into a Microsoft Word
document, which you could then save.
Note: The OCR process takes longer for larger PDF files. As text is
recognized, it is added to the end of the existing text already in the
Results Viewer. This allows you to continue reading without interruption as
the document is processed. If you are currently not reading using Say All,
JAWS announces the current line as new text is added to the Results Viewer
to indicate that OCR is still in progress.

Note: If the PDF document requires a password, you will be prompted to enter
it when you first press INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, D. You must enter the correct
password before the OCR process will continue.

Kate, 

I pulled up JAWS to try this and it does work the same.  

I highlighted the column I would have wanted alphabetized by holding down
the shift key and arrowing down. 

Then I pulled up the context menu by pressing the key just to the left of
the righthand CTRL key.  Sorry, if it's got an actual name, I don't know it
offhand.  But to the right of the spacebar there are four keys and it's the
third in from the spacebar or, as I said, just to the left of the CTRL key
which is at the far right. 

Hope that didn't totally confuse you. :)

Nancy

Re: [JAWS-Users] grammarly and google

David, Well first I had my wife try to set up the account. There is no way 
that I will purchase it. there are several options. Yearly is $12 a month 
the cheapest. If I were a professional writer I would consider it or maybe a 
college student who must write a lot of papers. I am in the process of 
writing a story for my web page.
I did find out that with I.E.  you can upload a file and check it. This will 
only tell you how many errors of each kind are in your document. It did help 
me fix a few without knowing what sentences have the problems.
I still want to find what html code is required to create a page with a very 
large input area. With that maybe the free google add on will work.

Re: [JAWS-Users] facebook

[Fernando Gregoire]

I usually find friends or people I am interested in by using first and last 
names. Often the first result is not the one I want, but in the desktop website 
the search box has auto-completion, which is accessible by pressing Down Arrow 
to drop down the list box, which in addition to listing results eases the 
search for us by displaying additional information, such as college or work 
data, next to the person's name.
Once you found the result you want, you can press ENTER on it and Facebook will 
open that user's profile page automatically. If the desired result is not in t 
first quick list, you can press ENTER on the See More Results item; the 
complete results page is browsable using normal navigation and reading commands.

If you type in the facebook username exactly as it appears in the search box, 
they will (probably) come up if they are your friend. Just a first or last name 
is sometimes not enough. Also make sure you select search for "people", which 
will narrow down results if it's needed.
