Re: [orca-list] OCR Current Window

[Josh k <joshknnd1982 gmail com>]

with the nvda OCR addon you can
1. OCR the current control weather its the whole screen or just a window 
or button.
2. select and copy any OCR results to the clipboard.
3. route the mouse to controls that have been OCR'ed and do stuff with 
them like left and right click double click and more.
