Re: OCR with NVDA
Quentin Christensen
NVDA will work on scanned PDFs, although with the caveat noted earlier about the amount visible on screen.
I believe, Jaws has a commercial OCR engine, and just like Eloquence, the cost of that is part of what you pay for Jaws. If you would like the same for NVDA, purchasing something like Abbyy FineReader will give you more OCR functionality using NVDA.

Hi all,
I was trying to recognize a scanned PDF. JAWS Convenient OCR does this very nicely, but after first saying “empty document.” Sounds like the NVDA OCR will not work on scanned PDFs if they start out as empty documents. Is this correct?
