Have you given it a try yet? For example, bring up the image and then 
try JAWS-key + spacebar followed by o and then either d or w. o is for 
OCR, d is for document (which I know works for PDF's) and w is for window.


Newspapers don't start off with particularly crisp print, so I'm not 
sure how affective any OCR software will be.
