JAWS 30th Anniversary Training: Use Convenient OCR to Recognize Text in Images

---

November 25, 2025

Convenient OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a feature in JAWS that allows you to recognize and read text that appears as part of an image or in places where text is not accessible to screen readers. This is useful for reading things like scanned documents, inaccessible PDFs, images with text, or application windows that only display text as graphics.

In this training, we’ll show you how to OCR text in an image or document, access the results, and provide important keyboard commands.
