the text of an object is representation of text and not actually machine
readable text. In order to read text in an object such as a screen capture
or an image with textual representations in it, it would need to be
converted into machine readable text through ocr.

Subject: JAWS and objects
Hello list members:
Why are screen readers such as JAWS unable to read text content of screen
captures and other objects in documents such as Microsoft Word? What
difference does it make if text is typed in an e-mail like this or contained
in a screen capture or other object? As a JAWS user, it would be nice to
know what the text of a screen capture or other objects say when I encounter
them.
Your answer to these questions will be greatly appreciated.
Derek
