Interpreting or recognizing letters, numbers and other text material in a
screen capture or graphic requires OCR. FS would likely point you to their
OpenBook product for that, or some other optical character recognition (OCR)
product to do it. I doubt FS would ever put such a capability in JAWS
itself.

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.
