I don not use Adobe's subscription service so can't help directly. But if you need an alternative solution, I would suggest buying OmniPage, which sells for around $30 or $35. -Paul -------------- nex

A while back, I mentioned I was using OmniPage scanning into MS Word as an OCR solution to read printed material. Someone asked if I might post some information on how to do this with JAWS, and I've f

I use Visual Studio and C++, so can't really tell you anything about Eclipse and Java. You might want to try the program-l mailing list for blind programmers. Here is part of the signature that provid

I'm using JAWS 15 on Win7 with IE 11 and I have always found Facebook to be difficult to use. In particular, tabbing into text edit fields frequently fails to enable autoforms mode, and focus is left

I had to help a guy figure out how to do blogs in Wordpress recently, and decided to write up my tips as a Wordpress blog article. Here's the link, if you're interested. It's not exhaustive by any mea

Hi all. I've been exploring ways to use GMail in standard view, and have been pretty successful so far, but I'm running into an issue opening the settings menu and I'm curious if anyone else is seeing

Control + jawskey • enter also fails to work. Can someone with a GMail account give this a try and post your findings? It'd be interesting to know if this is reproducible. If so, I could report it to

I don't know for certain but I'd be surprised to find out that there is any limit at all, other than the limits of the resources of your own computer system. -Paul

2000 seems like a very unlikely limit. It's not a computer number. 2048 would be more believable. Yet it still baffles me why there would be a limit at all, as JAWS should simply allocate more RAM to

Presumably the employee has JAWS on both home and work computers? In that case, just use tandem. -Paul

Is anyone able to use JAWS on the remote computer in a remote desktop connection? I've done this once with no problem, but on a subsequent connection, I got a JAWS error: "This application is not auth
