Hello Fernando Thank you. I think this should work. I actually have Adobe Acrobat Pro here and while it is an old version, I have successfully gotten it to oCR entire books for me, though it's not 100% convenient as it locks up my entire system while doing so. I will experiment with the browser and Microsoft Print feature and see what can be done with JAWS and/or Acrobat.

Hi, If you have Windows 10, you can print as PDF with no need of additional software. First, open the image alone to make it fully visible without other content abobe or below. This is done by opening image's context menu and choosing View Image or the related command in your specific browser. The easier browser for this, although worse for most other things, is Internet Explorer, because you can simply place the JAWS Virtual Cursor on the graphic and press APPLICATIONS to open the picture's context menu. When you have the full image opened in your web browser, press CTRL+P to open the Print dialog box. In the Printer Name combobox, choose Microsoft Print As PDF and press ENTER. In the Save as dialog that will appear, give a name for the PDF and specify the location in which it'll be saved. When the file is saved, open it in Adobe Reader. If your version of this program is too old, you may need to update it to a newer one so the JAWS PDF recognition feature works. If you are presented a dialog about read unlabeled document, choose Guess the Reading Order from the Document and press ENTER. When you are in the document, press the JAWS keystroke to recognize the document independently of your screen resolution and related settings, that is: JAWS+SPACEBAR, O, D. Wait until JAWS displays the OCR Results window and see if the recognized text is useful. Hope it helps! -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of JM Casey Sent: Friday, March 30, 2018 11:28 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Tips on dealing with/recognising screen-shots? 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?
