Sounds like you have some other open window occluding your MS-Word window. Can
you use the JAWS cursor to see what's in the MS-Word document pane?

OK, so I have Kurzweil 1000 and translated the pictures. When I saved it as a
word document I went to read it with Jaws and some funky stuff is going on...
Does anyone know what's going on with words just being spoken as say a w
instead of the full word? With the read all function everything works just
fine. I also get this problem in Notepad. Is this a margin issue?
What are the best margins for Jaws to work with?
Thank you and attached is the document I'm talking about

I worked Omnipage on it. There's something like 150 pages. From the
applications key menu, I converted it to Word.

Openbook from Freedom Scientific will work on these, as well as those
already printed out on paper.
I've also seen others recommending Omnipage.
You are basically needing an optical character recognition application that
can process your image files as though you're sending them to a printer.

Thank you,
Are there any good programs that do the character recognition that are
accessible?
I get documents like this all the time either for school or work and I
need to know what they are saying in a matter of hours. I have to then drop
everything I'm doing and go find a sighted person who can read this document to
me, then type it out by hand as they read it to me.
It is very frustrating and sighted people can't tell the difference
between this PDF document and normal text PDFs.
Thank you,

Hello Dave,
Thanks for that info; I was aware of this but was trying to make the
point - badly - that calling a document a PDF file does not necessarily make it
accessible.

Glen,
PDF files are often created as each page being an image of something.
This usually happens when a PDF file is created from a scanner. So it's okay
that it's PDF.

Brandon,
This is nothing more than a series of pictures, one picture per page
which has been saved with a PDF file extension.
No idea why this one has been saved with a PDF file extension, but
it's still a picture and therefore should have a file extension of .jpg.
To make it accessible to a screen reader, you would need to use
Optical Character Recognition to turn it into text.
HTH.
