moderated Jaws2018 reading characters on web page
kevin meyers
Hello, When logging on to a web site there are times I’m asked to enter special characters or type in what it says by a image. I’m unable to tell what the characters or the image so I cannot log on until someone with site tells me what to type in. Is there a way for Jaws to tell me the characters? Even when there is audio, the words spoke are stated so close together and very fast I can not enter those words.

The only solution I have found is to replace several times the audio file until I can catch the letters. Many times websites don’t even have the audio file.

When I have this problem, I record the audio numbers with a tape recorder or digital recorder, then I can slow it down and replay as often as necessary. This works for me.

sometimes it is possible to save the clip as an mp3 file . then I can
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
play it slower if it's too fast.

Hi Kevin,
Have you tried JAWS Convenient OCR for this task? Press JAWS Key+Space Then O, then S for Screen. It should tell you what the characters are, but it’s not guaranteed to work, as some images are a bit blurred.
All the best

But in order to try this I would probably try to use the visual captcha since I don’t think the characters or numbers are displayed in an audio captcha. Again, if an audio captcha doesn’t work and I don’t have sighted help around this is where my iPhone and Be My Eyes come in handy, much easier and more reliable than trying to find the correct characters using Jaws OCR. Kevin, if you don’t mind me asking, which website is it where you encounter this captcha?
Regards, Sieghard
