Hi,
You can buy Q read from get accessible apps.com and the price is 15 USD.
This is a separate program then ,  that was designed and produced by a 
blind person who understands the screenreader users needs.
Hope to help you.

Hi
Sorry if this is a silly question, but is QRead a stand-alone thing 
or is
it part of current JAWS?  I'm still on JAWS 16.  Can I buy this QRead 
to run alongside JAWS, assuming it is less over-priced than JAWS 
itself?
Upgrading
JAWS is not an option at the rip-off price it is sold at.
Thanks for any hclarification.

use QRead which is actually designed by a blind dev. it can handle a 
whole
array of formats including pdf, epub, docx, html, ... it isn't free 
but worth every penny.
Best, M.

Hi all,
I've recently started a new job and am using Jaws 2018 on both a 
Windows 10 laptop and desktop.

I have previously been able to read PDF's ok or if necessary have 
used the convenient OCR ability in Jaws to access image pdf's.  On 
both machines when I open a PDF Jaws doesn't read any of the text 
even if I use the Jaws cursor and it isn't given me the message I'm 
used to to ask if I'd like to run convenient OCR.  Similarly if I 
save the file and then go to the applications menu and choose the 
option to "recognise with Jaws" nothing happens.

This is really frustrating and I could really do with being able to 
access pdf's.

Any help / suggestions great fully appreciated.

With kind regards,

Sarah
