Re: JAWS and .pdf
Marquette, Ed <Ed.Marquette@...>
I get about 3 or 4 of these a day. Someone has scanned a document to PDF using a "scan to image" setting. This means that, to sighted users, it looks like a normal PDF document. Only someone with an experienced eye can tell the difference; however, if a sighted user tries to highlight and copy text, that user will discover there is something wrong. There is no text -- just a series of page images.

You can use OpenBook, OmniPage, PDF converter, or any one of I don't know how many OCR packages to convert these images to text with your degree of success depending on the clarity of the scan.

Re: What if a synthesizer is not listed under Voices in JAWS 13? lis
Gary King
I looked at the Synthesizer and Braille Manager in JAWS 13 Public Beta, and when I selected the Add Button, the list of synthesizers included DECtalk Access32, DECtalk Express, DECTalk USB 64 and Triple Talk 64. I haven't tried it, but if I downloaded the 64-bit driver from Access Solutions for my DECtalk USB, I'm sure it would work. If I knew how to get a working version of DECtalk Access32 into Windows 7 64-bit, I would try that also. Actually, DECtalk Access32 is what I would prefer. I'm not a big fan of DECtalk USB.

What if a synthesizer is not listed under Voices in JAWS 13? lis
ptusing <ptusing@...>
Hi,
I do not use JAWS 12 or 13, but when one adjuststhe voices such as PC voice or JAWS voice, there are normally synthesizers listed there for one to select. So, does JAWS 13 support Deck talk Express or Decktalk U S B in 64 bit Windows 7? I called Tech Support and al though I have been a big fan of JAWS-- I found the response to be of little use. As I understand it, JAWS 13 "does not" list either of the Decktalk synthesizer options. If neither is listed, does JAWS 13 support Deck talk Express or Deck talk U S B in 64 bit Windows 7? Thanks

Re: JAWS and .pdf
Gerald Levy
The empty document message means that Adobe Reader is unable to read the document because it contains graphics that Adobe Reader cannot interpret. If you have Open Book, selecting the Freedom Import Printer option from the Adobe Reader Print menu will launch Open Book to scan the document and attempt to convert the text contained within the graphics into speech using OCR. The new convenient OCR feature of JAWS 13 will supposedly accomplish the same thing, but my understanding is that this feature works best on web page graphics, not document graphics. Has anyone successfully converted an empty document into speech using the convenient OCR feature of JAWS 13?

If you are eligible to receive JAWS 13 it has "convenient OCR" built in, that purports to work very well for this. If you happen to own Openbook 8 or 9 you should have Freedom Import Printer, which allows you to send the document to that printer, and have it recognized and converted by Openbook. Other OCR software will also allow you to either directly convert the document, or if you print it out, allow you to scan in the printed pages.

Turn back the clock on Windows
David <davidwhitehead1957@...>
Not sure if this will help /interest you, but it's a Download of the Day
from the Kim Komando Sho. October 17, 2011 Turn back the clock on Windows If you're like a lot of people, you might still be hanging on to Windows XP. It's got a familiar interface and runs just fine on your older hardware. Unfortunately, that can't last forever. At some point you'll need to upgrade your computer, and you'll get Windows 7. Perhaps you already upgraded a few years back and you're stuck with Windows Vista. In that case, you might be missing good old XP. Well, I'm not going to tell you to downgrade. Vista and 7 are much better operating systems for security and stability. Plus, they run better on newer computer hardware. So, you're going to need to stick with them. That doesn't mean you can't do some customizing. That's the point of the program Classic Shell. This program adds and replaces items in the Vista and 7 interface to be more like XP. There are three major components to Classic Shell: Classic Explorer, Classic Start Menu and Classic IE9. You can mix and match which ones you want to install. Classic Explorer adds XP's toolbar back to Vista explorer windows, along with the useful Up button for moving through folders. It also adds back the bottom status bar and changes the newer file copy dialog box back to the XP version. Classic Start Menu gives you Windows XP's Start Menu. You can customize it with several included skins to change the look and functionality. To edit how Start Menu works, go to Start>>Programs>>Classic Shell>>Start Menu Settings. This is also where you can find controls for the other two programs as well. Finally, there's Classic IE9. This brings back Web page titles, several status bar icons and a few other useful interface options.

to do this can be found in their help section. Download and install the appropriate file for your operating system. You will need your user name and password.

As per usual, the update is purported to be faster and less heavy on memory use even though Nod 32 has a good performance rating in this regard.

It works in the backround using scheduled maintenance checks and updates automatically . Charles Charles -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounces@...

I use JAWS 10 with Vista. For virus protection, I have Microsoft Security Essentials. That program hasn't caught any bugs yet, and all the components are on and working properly (according to the software itself). I'm suspicious. I don't download from unknown sites, but still... Shouldn't something bad have tried to infect my computer by now? I've had this system for two years! I think I have a problem. What virus software do you recommend to use with JAWS?
