[Nfbc-info] another computer issue

[Brandon Keith Biggs]

Hello,
In Jaws 13 Freedom scientific added an OCR function. I only have Jaws 
11, so have never used it. I've mostly switched to NVDA for everything 
because it has more functionality than Jaws 14 and is free. To check out 
the addons for NVDA, go to:
http://jeff.vrnw.org/NVDA.htm
and with NVDA running the latest version, click on the addons you would 
like and open them any way you would like. They will install and you 
have to restart NVDA and you will have them.
The OCR is called NVDA OCR.
Alternatively there are a couple programs from:
http://nonvisualdevelopment.org/
like:

If you want a list of the technology you can get from 
nonvisualdevelopment go to:

Thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs
