Have you tried the OCR functioning in JAWS?

Subject: [optacon-l] Computers and mice

We're slowly switching to a new computer system at work. My boss and I have
been working like mad to make it accessible, but, so far, there are screens
Jaws just isn't reading at all. I was able to use the Optacon to read my
monitor and at least tell the people on the conference call what was
happening. Hooray!
If there were a way to coordinate the Optacon with a mouse, as we've been
discussing lately, it would open up whole new areas for blind people. For
me, it could mean the difference between continued employment and early
retirement. It may not come to that, but it's a definite possibility.



And then there are those screens that Jaws reads just fine, but the
developer left out all keyboard access, and the only way to execute a link
is to click with a mouse. Grrr.
