Is there a recommended maximum page size when using the JAWS OCR feature?<br>

I use JAWS too and forgot about convenient OCR. I've used PDF Transformer before that feature was available in JAWS. Old habits die hard!<br>
<br>
For those who also forget - from the JAWS Help documentation:<br>
<br>
Note: When using OCR keystrokes, press and release INSERT+SPACEBAR, then press O followed by the final keystroke.<br>
<br>
Press INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, W to OCR the current window.<br>
Press INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, S to OCR the current screen.<br>
Press INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, C to OCR the current control.<br>
Press INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, Q to cancel the OCR process.<br>
Press INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, QUESTION MARK to hear the help message for the OCR keystrokes.<br>

I am a JAWS user and have had good success with the OCR feature of JAWS 16.<br>
I copy the text from the recognition, paste into a Word document, and, like Karen said, keep the pdf in case someone with sight needs to see the original.<br>

I use ABBYY PDF Transformer which is $79 USD and will do the OCR and give me a Word document.<br>
<br>
I can get other formats, but Word let's me get to the content quickly. I usually keep the original in case I need to cite it.<br>
