Well for me, my view for what its worth I didn't really care much for the
O.C.R with Jaws. Like Eric said at present it might not solve captures. That
doesn't mean it won't in the future. I admit I do use jaws and have my own
copy of Jaws 12 but at present I haven't found any reason why I need to
upgrade to 13 when I can use NVDA for free.
Just to make sure before people get the wrong inpression I am not saying
that I wouldn't pay the money for Jaws upgrades its just at this moment in
tim well lets say I'm not hooked on a particular feature there by parting my
cash thinking "oh yeah! I really like this new thing in jaws I'm going to
get it!" Also as a final note I like jaws mainly for eloquence but in my
case I have a hearing impairment which is why I use it when I get a little
tired of NVDA's Espeak.
Thanks for reading

I should also mention that there is a lot of discussion on this particular
topic over on the GW-Info list <smile..

Actually it doesn't solve capchas, or would be unlikely to. They said as

Hello,
Remember last week or so, there were so messages about JAWS 13 and how
it would help solve CAPCHAs? I remember Dane, you had said that Freedom
Scientific were once again behind, that there were already other
programs that do that.
I am listening to the FS58 podcast. It does not just help solve CAPCHAs,
this feature called Convenient OCR, but it also reads PDFs that are just
images, or text conveyed as graphics on web pages with just a few simple
keystrokes.
Now that I know more about this feature, I am really excited about it.
