[nfb-db] PDF and JAWS

[M Lucca]

Hi Scott,

I have tried OCR on all of the documents I needed access, and it appears the
function works to some extent. JAWS would read the text up to a certain
point rather than read the entire document. Unless there is a trick in which
I am unaware, the OCR function seems to be a road block for some documents.

Hi Anna.
I totally forgot about convenience OCR. I suppose that stems from using NVDA
and System Access at home, and only using JAWS at work. Thank you for
bringing that up. I'll have to try it at work, it sounds like it could be
more effective than any of the things I've been doing in the past.
