Hi Mike, Are you sure that the text of the books is not displayed as images? It is not unusual to have pdf documents composed as an actual picture of each page, where the picture contains text. In this case jaws will not be able to read it, as it cannot handle text embedded in images.

I have the version 7.08 and I can't get a murmur out of it. The writing comes up on the screen I'm told by my Wife but it doesn't allow you to copy. I've tried using Kurtzweil and I get the message it can't access the file. Can anybody help. Frustrated!! Mike Meaney All the best, Mike 061 300044
