Makes sense.  Will definitely give it a try.

Thank you!

Hi,

To save the text, all you do is press CTRL+A to select all text and CTRL+C
to copy to a clipboard.  You can then paste it to word or Notepad for
saving.

Lou:

For me, the most useful feature of Jaws 16 is the convenient OCR feature for
help with scanned image PDF files.

There are always errors in the scanning, but the feature at least gives me a
general idea of the content of the file.

I have not done this yet, but there apparently is a way that you can take
the scanned text and save it into a text or MS Word file for future
reference if needed.

Again, the OCR feature does not provide perfect results, but it has been
helpful to me on at least several ocasions.

Of course, I am fortunate, in that the University where I teach keeps my
Jaws license and SMA updated, but that will end when I retire, probably
within the next year or so.

For years, I've been stuck at Jaws 11, not wanting to pay what FS wanted to
upgrade to Jaws 16. On the plus side, it motivated me to become familiar
with NVDA, which turned out to be a fairly pleasant experience. It's really
an excellent screen reader, especially given that its free. But I still use
Jaws for most tasks so I finally bit the bullet and am about to upgrade to
Jaws 16.

i'm just wondering what you all find to be the most useful inovations and
features in the last several versions. Thanks.Lou  WA3MIX Lou Kolb
