If convenient OCR doesn't work, picture smart may work.

In File Explorer, focus on the JPG file. Then open the context menu. You'll find convenient OCR with JAWS. Give that a whirl.

Cordially,

I got AIRA to save a photo of a menu after they read it to me.  I'd like to run the JPG image through OCR and so be able to read the menu whenever I want.

I tried Jaws OCR, with the w "window" option, but that didn't work.

Will my idea work?  Is there a better way to get what I want?

The place does not have an online menu at this time.

Thanks.

Tracy
