[Sportsandrec] swimming

[Kelly Thornbury]

What "technologies" are available to you? Can you print it then rescan it into another format? What version of JAWS are you using, can you access it using OCR? 

As it is probably a "one time thing," or something you won't have to do very often, what about soliciting a reader/scribe. Then [or] depending on the file format the conversion by the organization may be as simple as resaving it in a tagged format (my guess is that it's a protected PDF or similar format)? 

Enjoy the new club.

I tried converting it to Word and plain text to no avail.  All JAWS tells me is that there is a graphic, but I can't actually read the text.  I've tried all that I can think of.  Therefore, does anyone else have any suggestions as to how I might be able read this file without asking them to reformat the entire document?
