>Scientific just released JAWS 13 today
>
>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.
