question
Hi Kerryn,
I copied this from last October's In-Process re using
OCR. Basically:
To do OCR with NVDA 2017.4 on Windows
10:
1. Open the PDF file in Adobe
Reader.
2.
Press NVDA+r. NVDA reports “Recognising”. After a pause, NVDA
reports “Result document”.
3. Although visually, the screen hasn’t changed,
NVDA has placed the text recognised in the image in a “virtual document”.
You can navigate around this just like a document in WordPad.
Press NVDA+down arrow (laptop: NVDA+a) to read
the whole document from the current point.
4. Press control+home to move to
the top of the virtual document.
5. Press down arrow to move
through and read the text line by line.
6. When finished, press escape to
exit the virtual document.
Or,
using Windows 7 or 8 OR NVDA earlier than
2017.3:
1.
Open the PDF file in Adobe Reader
2.
Press NVDA+r. NVDA reports “Recognising”. After a pause, NVDA
reports “Done”.
3. Although visually, the screen hasn’t changed, NVDA has
placed the text recognised in the image in a “virtual document”. You can
navigate around this using the review cursor. Press numpad
plus (laptop: NVDA+shift+a) to read the whole document
from the current point
4. Press shift+numpad
7 (laptop: NVDA+control+home) to move to the top of the
virtual document.
5. Press numpad
9 (laptop: NVDA+down arrow) to move through and read
the text line by line.
With
regard to "utilising the mouse arrow", could you please clarify exactly what
you are trying to do? Yes it is possible to do several things either
with the mouse, or to the mouse and with further information, I can give you
steps for that also.

Substitute punctuation marks with sounds
I like the idea too, along with voice changes or
sounds to denote different attributes, such as style changes in word and
email, or HTML elements on the web.

You are
assuming a sound would be wanted for every punctuation sign.
And at least in Engglish and many languages, there aren't that
many. Period, question mark, colon, semicolon quotation marks
and you might want a sound for ellipsis. You could have more
sounds as well. You could have sounds in the pronunciation
dictionary so you can assign sounds for whatever you want. The
user could even put sound files in the program if he/she doesn't
like what is provided. Now let's see what kinds of sounds we
might have Bell, whistle, door close, door open, chime, and
all sorts of variations such as high pitch bell, low pitch bell, car
dor, a door such as in a house, and other people may come up with
all sorts of other examples. The world is full of distinctive
sounds. And JAWS has had such a feature for probably over a
dedcade so this is not at all a novel idea.

No maybe
not but this would need a lot of sounds and I question how easy
it
might
be to come up with enough of them to be easy to
recognise.

The user would
select the sound for the specific punctuation. There
wouldn't
be preassigned sounds.

Re: [nvda] Substitute punctuation marks with sounds
I'm
sure you were aware that there was a now dead comedian who made a
lot of
money with his monologues where he substituted sounds for
Punctuation!
Victor Borge'
Now my one problem with having
a mode like this is, given the number of
different marks and
their meaning in different circumstances in different
languages,
it could need one heck of a lot of individual sounds to
cover
them all. I do know what you are getting at different sorts
of brackets and
colons etc, are main candidates, with underscores
being also useful.
Maybe this is add on territory ie a
programmers version as most of us prefer
not to hear these
greater thans etc all over the place, but obviously such
things
are important in programming as are brackets and indents
etc.
