Hi Kevin,
The Quick OCR facility does an OK job in some very limited situations in my
opinion. It's certainly not, as Graham says, a fully fledged OCR software
and I think you'll get much better results sticking to your Kurzweil 1000.
The Quick OCR can be handy in some inaccessible screens but is no good for
scanning things like PDF documents which have text buried in graphics within
the document.

Subject: [jaws-uk] Jaws and scanning documents
Hello,
I am using Jaws on my work XP desktop (version 12). I understand that
later versions of Jaws have a scanning facility enabling the user to
read tif and other image files? If anyone has tried this facility I
would appreciate feedback on how it works. At present I print off
files which Jaws perceives as images (E.G. tif files) and, using
Kurzweil read them.
Grateful for any help.
Many thanks,
Kevin
