As far as I'm aware, you can make ABBYY recognize the .tif file and read it. i haven't used it in a long time though, so I can't help you with the "how". You could also use Kurzweil 1000, if you already have it, but that's beyond the subjects talked about in this list. --- Contact info: Skype: parham-d MSN: fire_lizard16 at hotmail dot com email: parham90 at GMail dot com ----- Original Message ----- From: Renette Bloem To: jaws mailing list (jaws mailing list) Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 2009 10:16 AM Subject: jaws and .tif files Hi All I am using the latest version of Jaws. I received an attachment with a .TIF extension. Obviously Jaws cannot read it. My question: Can I access the attachment the same way I am doing with a scanned image that is in pdf? I am using ABBYY Fine Reader to read scanned documents that I receive as attachments. . Thanks. Renette
