[NABS-L] Pdf articles as an image

[Cricket X. Bidleman]

Hi!

Excellent question... The quickest way to get those in a legible
format is to zap them through an optical character recognition
software. If you use JAWS, there's a built-in feature. You can press
your JAWS key with the space bar simultaneously. On most laptops
that'll be either caps lock or insert. Follow this by pressing O for
OCR. If you want something that's perhaps a little more reliable, I
would recommend a program that's external of a screen reader. I use
OpenBook on my laptop, and that works really well. Of you can use a
variety of apps from the app store. I use KNFB reader on both my
notetaker and my phone. That's my recommendation. Hope this helps!

Best,
