No I've not tried this with jaws since I have not no interest. I found a 
solution for this problem a long time ago and it works just fine. The 
solution I found is free and is probably just as good without costing me 
$200. You could have had access to the exact same solution if you would have 
looked rather than waiting for FS to charge you for it.

Excuse me, but let me make a question:
Have you already tried it?

I have. And, by the first time was able to install a update to Nokia Ovi
Suite, install a firmware update to my phone, install maps to the phone, and
so on... Let me know if you are able to do that.

Guys, this seems like another useless jaws feature. This OCR thing is almost
exactly what one can do with a screen capture utility built into Windows or
what you can download get for fee.

Yeah, this screen capture process might be slightly faster with jaws 13, but
is this worth a hit on one's SMA? I say h no!

If you listen to the FS podcast you will also come across something to the
effect of Jonathan saying that scriptors on this list were all excited about
this new feature. I don't recall a single post on this list commenting on
this feature. This makes Jonathan less than credible but I don't fall for
company BS about their own products anyways. Furthermore, I wil now accept
Jonathan's comments with a handful of salt. He's lots almost total
credibility with me with this comment at it is blatantly disingenuous. He
also claimed this feature to be a game changer in screen reader technology.

So, have any of you played with the OCR feature in Jaws 13 beta yet?

I managed to register a program last night, whose initial
registration screen was formerly invisible to Jaws. Too bad that
once I registered the program, the rest of the application turned
out to be invisible as well. *LOL*

So far, we can ocr and then read or mouse click on the results.
In what ways could this new information gleaned through OCR be tied
to other Jaws functions? I'm thinking it would be nice to be able
to put the Jaws cursor on part of the OCR results and transfer the
text into the graphics labeler, for example.
