OCR has been a feature within JAWS since 13, but I've never been able to get it to work. Perhaps I'm missing something, though.

I think that Read/Write Gold is primarily intended for students with learning disabilities.

Yes, JAWS, along with adobe reader will read pdf's that containtext.  and, if they are images, JAWS 16 will do ocr on them.
