  2. How do I perform a JAWS picture scan?

Re: How do I perform a JAWS picture scan?

Dave...
 

I just gave it a try with my Pearl camera. Photo under the camera, Press
Jaws+Spacebar then P. Announcement: Picture Smart. So far, so good. Then
press letter A. Announcement "OCR component not installed".

Drat, and double drat.

However, if I use Insert+J to open the JAWS application and scroll down to
the utilities menu and select Picture Smart, and select Scanners and Camera,
which cclaims is available using JAWS+Spacebar, then P then A)
I'm presented with several adjustment options such as Select input device,
light on/off, advanced options, and acquire image.

Very, very different from the JAWS+Spacebar then P approach.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark, methinks.

I believe you want to first scan and save the image to a file, then do the f
command for the picture analysis to go to that file.

but can you scan a picture into picture smart from the flat bed scanner?
it wakes up the scanner when its a sleep but that is all it does.
so far it will not work when i use jaws/spacebar/p and then a to aquire the
image. the scanner head doesn't do anything and it says it can't detect any
text.
this is with win 7 and 10
with del b1165 mono laser all in one on the u s b ports.
the scanner works with openbook 8 and the windows paint programs.

Choose the picture desire to scan.



Press the jaws key plus spacebar plus p plus f.



It will take a few seconds but the scan should complete. Hth

I have heard of the new feature, but cannot find "picture" in the JAWS
command
search. Any advice is much appreciated.
