[nfbcs] How to read images in email

[Doug Lee]

It's been a while since I've run into this, but, can you right-click with the JAWS cursor on it and see if there's a Save As or similar context menu option? JAWS can now recognize image content from within Windows
Explorer. There's a "Recognize with JAWS" option in the Context menu for images now.

Hello Tracy:

One approach I use is to  to copy and paste the entire message into Word,
save it as a PDF, and then ask JAWS to recognize the PDF file. While this is
labor intensive and people should know better than to send us images, it is
at least a solution that can be applied to this problem.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Subject: [nfbcs] How to read images in email

More and more, I'm being sent images in email with info I need to know. 
This morning, it was a user sending me a screen print.  I had to have a
coworker come over and read the pertinent data to me.
It's not a link or an attachment, just a string of characters in the
middle of the page, ending with .jpg.
I tried to click on it, but nothing happened.  I tried Jaws OCR, but
nothing happened with that, either.
The person who helped me just saw the image as part of the email, nothing
unusual.
Is there a way to read this kind of image without rounding up a sighted
person?
Tracy
