As a criticism to the way of the FS podcasts, İ can add that they do 
their show ups on highly sterilized applications or documents somehow 
fitting the standards of the industry, such as Eric did in introducing 
the new table layer feature on research page. But the problem is here 
that research pages already  conform to the accessibility  standards of 
table creation. İn my opinion, we could observe as blind users the power 
of a screen reader on non-standard applications, documents or websites 
blatantly. So the examples should be chosen accordingly.

Okay, listers, this is the one you've all been waiting for. 
In FSCast 58, Jonathan Mosen discusses the new features of 
JAWS 13 with Eric Damery and Dan Clark. The public beta is 
scheduled for release during the second week of September, 
so it should be out shortly. Very interesting.

The latest version of Cobra still has OCR in it. (Some recent ACB Radio

so that people aren't disappointed and that further development can take 
place. Now the other big screen-readers will have to follow suit.

Hi,
I agree with you about the OCR.
In Israel, I use ABBYY FineReader 11 professional edition because the OCR is 
much better and I don't think that omnipage has Hebrew support.
So, JAWS 13 will not have Hebrew OCR but Baum uses FineReader and has 
Hebrew.
But, because I don't like Baum and I love FS, I will be stuck for this 
feature!

2011-09-13 Thread Brian Lee
Hello,

I have not yet heard the podcast from Freedom Scientific, but I want to point 
out to people using Office 2010 with OneNote in the suite that you can do OCR 
on image files using that program.  You can extract text from .tif, .jpg, .pdf, 
etc.  If you open a .TIF file that contains text (in Windows Photo viewer for 
example), simply copy the text to the clipboard.  Open OneNote using Windows 
key with N.  Paste the contents of the clipboard.  If you get a pop up menu 
choose to open the file as a print out so you can add notes.  When the image is 
pasted arrow up or down to the line that says something like machine generated 
text and use application key.  Arrow down to the menu choice for copying text 
from image and press enter key.  You can then open Word and paste the text.  It 
does a pretty good job.

Take care.

Hi,
I agree with you about the OCR.
In Israel, I use ABBYY FineReader 11 professional edition because the OCR is 
much better and I don't think that omnipage has Hebrew support.
So, JAWS 13 will not have Hebrew OCR but Baum uses FineReader and has Hebrew.
But, because I don't like Baum and I love FS, I will be stuck for this feature!

Adi.



Regards,

Adi.

The OCR thing is way cool. Especially when Errick read the DVD main menu with 
it. Think about it. If JFW 13 when  it does work with Win 8 doesn't hook like 
NVDA and System Access do, it'll be So much easyer still to watch a DVD on your 
own. Pluss you'll be using WMP which is already easy to use some what as it is. 
This will only make it all the more easier. Assuming JAWS works with out 
hooking to the Video that is. 
See because since it does that WMP thinks JAWS wants to coppy the disk so 
that's why one gets that diolauge about not being able to run the analogue 
coppy protection thing. In short, If JAWS doesn't hook to the video in Win 8, 
and if the OCR can scan DVD menus like it did for Erick, watching movies will 
be golden on the PC.

Okay, listers, this is the one you've all been waiting for. In FSCast 58,
Jonathan Mosen discusses the new features of JAWS 13 with Eric Damery and
Dan Clark.  The public beta is scheduled for release during the second week
of September, so it should be out shortly.  Very interesting.

jaws 5 and no value for money.

I agree it sounds impressive, still I wonder what kind of overhead is going 
to be involved memory wise to accomplish some of the new features. I hope 
the difference won't be too significant. Just something to consider although 
I'm sure they have thought of that already.
