Hi everyone.
So, as most of you probably know, a lot of sighted people, when they want to share or copy something that's on their display, don't copy and paste. They take screen-shots. One can see how this is convenient; you don't have to worry about formatting, all images are represented, etc. Obviously though, without oCR, if there's important information in the screen-shot, it can be frustrating for a blind user. So, I have JAWS 18 on this Windows 10 machine. I understand Convenient OCR has improved with JAWS 2018, but I can only work with what I've got. I'm looking at a page that contains a screen-shot of a powershell script, which I would like to be able to read. I have put my cursor where the image is, and done the JAWS OCR with the "c" parameter. The results are, sadly, as I unfortunately usually experience with Convenient oCR, just not up to scratch for this purpose. Lots of scanning errors. It could be that the image is unclear, of course. But I'm wondering if anyone with more experience can give me a pointer on what I can do with a screen-shot like this to make the image more susceptible to JAWS oCR. I'm looking into getting Abbyy Finereader at some point, and I guess at least one variant of that program comes with a specialised screen-shot application. That'll be cool, but the software still costs a couple of hundred dollars and I'm going to have to hold out on that for now. Any thoughts?
