See if it is available in device manager. Either go directly to device manager and type scanner in the edit field, or from the windows key edit field, type in scanner and select scanners and cameras

I haven’t had as much luck scanning more complicated documents with columns or charts using the JAWS OCR. I tend to open them using K1000 if it’s more complicated. I only use VoiceDream Scanner
