This is also what VFO advised users to do in their announcement on the subject. I installed the ESR version of Firefox and it worked well in the handful of cases in which I've used it since then. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On

Re: [JAWS-Users] VFO's Pearl Camera offer

Is the Hovercam compatible with JAWS 2018 OCR? At work, I use ABBYY FineReader Pro 12 for OCR, which is remarkably effective for processing scanned images downloaded as PDF files from journal publishers. Headings and footnotes, for example, are all recognized and converted to appropriate word

Lenovo can also supply laptop user manuals in a relatively accessible HTML format on request. I can't find the web page at the moment, but there's a contact e-mail address for the department that deals with compliance with accessibility-related regulations and standards. That's the department

I'm running the latest JAWS 2018 with Microsoft Outlook 2016 from Office 365. I haven't encountered this issue, however. I occasionally receive messages that do contain nested tables, but not often. Those affected should try to identify the circumstances in which this occurs. Until VFO can
