Hi Jeff,
Yeah, I was confused when I read your original message. You talked about
slapping them on a surface but then talked about Jaws! Anyway, if you
mean paper documents, your best bet would be your smart phone or an
iPad/tablet. There are few OCR apps for iOS and Android, free and paid
for. The one I use is Seeing AI for iOS. This brilliant free app will do
what you want and much more. For a quick text review use short text
mode, point your iPhone's/iPad's camera at the document and the text
will be read back to you. I use it for recognising money and reading
text on products boxes and packages too. As well, I have used it to read
text on my computer's screen and it does work to some extent.
There are few other apps to choose from as I said, so I am sure others
on list will chip in.

I actually meant print rather than text,
Probably need to re-post!

Hi Jeff,
Wouldn't Notepad serve your purpose? Just open the file and then use Jaws
key + down arrow. Hit control when you've decided what to do.

Hi All,
what I need is a simple quick way of reading a lot of text documents.
Ideally, just whacking them on to a surface and discovering what they are
before saving or binning them.
I use Jaws 2018 and windows 7 or 10, prefer 7.
Speed is the initial issue closely followed by flexibility in then
dealing with the document should i need to store it.
