The JAWS OCR is fine for quick things like letters or memos of no more than a few pages, but for multiple long documents I would definitely recommend a dedicated OCR program. I use OmniPage 18 but there are other options that people on this list prefer.

For me, at least, JAWS OCR is very slow.
It could be sufficient though,
or even better with the 2021 update.
