I don't think you are doing anything wrong. Jaws OCR is my experience
complete rubbish with OCR on the web, at least with Firefox. I could
not get anything either with your link using standard techniques.
The work around I use is to try and save the image for off line viewing.
Then open the image in another app. I use Irfanview and put the image
into full screen mode. In Irfanview you simply press enter once the
image is open to achieve this.
Then try running Jaws OCR again. Doing this on your link after
downloading the jpg produce the following results from Jaws OCR copied
from the speech history below.
I often wish Jaws would simply get its existing features working
properly before adding new ones.

Hi All
I'm hoping I'm doing something wrong, because I can't get Jaws to perform OCR on a picture online which has text in it.
The picture is at:
https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/fr/cp0/e15/q65/14560155_10153692817356707_3593141962013026460_o.jpg?efg=eyJpIjoiYiJ9
It is a band poster with information about upcoming gigs etc and my wife can read it easily.
I've tried several of the jaws OCR reading combinations, but I'm getting no joy.
Any help gratefully received, John
