George, If the new JAWS 13 feature reads graphical text on your computer screen, as it appears to do from John Martin's description of it interacting with a setup program, then it won't be competing

nope, still saw your message here.

How would that be an ideal world? People already say JAWS is too bloted. That'd just give them more reason to say so.

I wouldn't get too excited about this alleged OCR option. After all, if it were really useful, it might detract from sales of Open Book, which is the last thing FS wants to happen. In an ideal

John, I don't think the OCR function means much to many of us who have OpenBook or Kurzweil. George R. Marshall marshall.geoma4@...

Well, what functions do we have to help us skim through web pages? I'm thinking of things like the quick keys to jump by heading,, list, etc. that might help. The find command seems appropriate here

Yeah, it doesn't say much for us as a group, does it? *LOL* I'm on several lists containing mostly sighted people, and far more of them - many thousands in fact. And this never ever comes up!
