[blindLaw] jaws reads a lot of unnecessary information when reading out ocr-ed documents

If you want to avoid this type of extraneous formatting, you can choose the
Options button before saving your file and selecting "Plain text" under
"Document layout". This will disable a lot of layout information and
alternative fonts from being saved with the document, although you will
still get features like tables, tables of contents, footnotes, and so on.
You can still enable the "Keep bold, italic, and underlined text styles in
plain text" check box as well as the check boxes for whatever other document
features you want to keep.

Subject: [blindLaw] jaws reads a lot of unnecessary information when reading
out ocr-ed documents

hi,

i use fine reader 14, jaws 2021, office 16. when i ocr documents, in the
word copy, jaws reads the following kinds of things before the actual text:
a. graphic shape image s-and-so inches by s-and-so inches.
textbox.

This is quite annoying and a distraction. Any way to stop it from reporting
this unnecessary information?

Warmly,
Rahul
