Josh,
The File button opens a new window with a standard file open dialog. You
can open basically any type of file. But typically you'll use it to open
a PDF that is a scanned image or has images with text amid the normal
text. Aaron also gave examples of images embedded in Word documents,
spread sheets and Power Point presentations. You can also open all the
types of image files listed in the release notes.
Hth,
Tom

whatever technology they use for OCR it seems to be just as good as
jaws. NVDA OCR is not as good as window-eyes OCR though just from
playing around with it. also what does the file button do, and what kind
of files will it recognise?

Nope. The same technology exists in Windows 7, too. And Windows 8.

Hi, Josh.
Virtual View takes builds on the Windows TIFF IFilter interface,
which is built into the operating system. This is the same system
used by Cortana in Windows 10. You can read more here:
