>One of the biggest items is Convenient OCR--for all those nasty PDF files 
>that are inaccessible and refuse to be read...AH HAH...there is a solution 
>now
>
>Frequently, you will encounter images that contain textual information. 
>These can include a PDF file, the setup screen of an application, or the 
>menu of selections for a DVD movie. While these images contain text that is 
>readable by a sighted person, JAWS is unable to read the text as it is part 
>of the image.
>
>The new Convenient OCR (Optical Character Recognition) feature enables you 
>to access any image on the screen that includes text. With just a few 
>simple keystrokes, JAWS will recognize the image in a matter of seconds and 
>activate the JAWS cursor so you can navigate the resulting text. The 
>recognized text will be in the same location as the actual image on the 
>screen. In order to differentiate the recognized text from other text that 
>may be in the window, JAWS will use a different voice when it encounters 
>the recognized text. When you activate the PC cursor, or switch to another 
>application or dialog box, the text is removed, and you will need to 
>perform the OCR again.
>
>To use Convenient OCR, the following layered keystrokes have been added:
>
>INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, W. Recognizes the current application window that has 
>focus.
>INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, S. Recognizes the entire screen.
>INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, C. Recognizes the currently selected control, such as a 
>graphical button.
>INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, Q. Cancels recognition while it is in progress.
>INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, H. Speaks a brief help message describing the commands 
>in the OCR layer.
