Hi List
I hope jaws 13 wil be stable again. 12 was the most unstable
version since jaws 5 and no value for money.

The link you provided wants one to subscribe to the rss

possible anymore?

OCR feature is indeed an old yet a failed idea trying to be implemented
by Baum of Germany before in its screen reading product called Cobra.
Should Baum sue Freedom then?

Let the joke aside, this is really a great move and as Mr. Mosen puts it
well, a game changer in screen reading
Yes, but if it could be made to work, it might be good.

The latest version of Cobra still has OCR in it. (Some recent ACB Radio
main menu podcasts refer.) One hopes it will do well on image pdf's,
so that people aren't disappointed and that further development can take
place. Now the other big screen-readers will have to follow suit.

Well, (as for the Omnipage SDK in use with kurzweil 1000, anyway)
Omnipage has significantly improved over how it used to do.

I agree with you about the OCR.

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.

Well I feel the convenient OCr, as he called it, is not that cool really.
First it purportedly just OCr's the stuff that fits on the window on the PC
screen within the open Adobe PDF file and totally ignores the rest of the multi
page Pdf file. Which means if I need to access the whole doc
where I work they always send me pdf documents that are a picture so it
might be some use.

Downloading a pdf isn't the only way you get one nowadays. Thing is,
whether they or we like it or not, a lot of blind people at work (as you
can see from some of the messages here) are just given pdf's as part of
their jobs and must do with them whatever they can.
