I have English US and English UK, and it's set to English US. And since you say the linked image recognizes for you, there's definitely something weird going on here. Huh, I wonder if it's an addon? Because disabling addons actually makes it work. Not always, sometimes images that supposedly contain text are blank, and recognition on the ones that get recognized is sort of hit or miss, but highlighting the "image may contain one person, text" for instance and hitting NVDA-r actually does something most of the time. Now the question is, which addon? I feel a long tedious process coming on tomorrow.

When you go to the "Windows 10 OCR" category in NVDA's settings, is English there?

This is Windows 10 built-in OCR, not the addon.

Hi again
Is it the one with windows 10 or the add on? if it is the second one then you had to use the text review cursor on the numeric keypad to read what had been ocred.

Thanks, I've heard of that and it's good to know it works. But I'm using Firefox, not Chrome, and I'd really like to figure out why NVDA's?? OCR isn't doing what it's supposed to. I wonder if it's even working, because I tried running it in an app the other day and got nothing out of it. I assumed it was just something it couldn't recognize, but now I wonder if it's just not really doing anything.

Hi
This may not help or it could.
if you are using the google browser while on any page hit the applications key then arrow down to get image description from google. It will then give you 2 options once only or always.
I leave mine on always?? It will do your whole page if there is no description on any of the images etc. If left on will do it for all your pages.
There is a message that comes up after you pick always just agree to it and you are right to go.
It can always be turned off the same way but pick once.
There is a tutorial and audio one so you can hear what it does on my nvda tutorials for other programs page.
Just look for get image describer from google in the list.

If I'm using the post itself, I arrow to the part that says "image may contain". If I open the link, I arrow until I'm in the middle of the stuff that says "graphic" and some URL gibberish. I'm pretty sure the images are displayed in my feed because I think I've had my wife look at some, but I can get her to check tonight.

Hi there,
I haven't experienced the problem you're having, and when I navigate to that link and run OCR I get correct output.
In terms of why just running OCR on the original link to the image doesn't work, it may be that the image isn't being displayed. I use mobile Facebook in Firefox, too, and can visually confirm that, for me, images aren't loaded in newsfeed, but I can't remember if I had to change a setting for it to be that way.
When you say you highlight the image, what do you mean? I can literally just open the link and run OCR, since it is just an image.
Regards,
Sascha

Hi all. I might have asked about this before, but if there was an answer, I don't remember it. I'm using NVDA 2019.2.1, Windows 1903 64-bit with the latest updates, Firefox 70.0 64-bit. I'm going to m.facebook.com. As the subject says, OCR doesn't work for me on Facebook. Here's a post, as it appears to me. I apologize for the potentially political content, it's literally the first post with a meme/picture that showed up in my scroll.
"Fun fact - data works. Pro-Choice win. Pro-Life win. Teen win. State win. Taxpayer win. So. Much. Winning. CrabDiving Podcast Truth bomb Image may contain: 1 person, text"
If I highlight the image, i.e. the line that says "image may contain", and hit NVDA-r, it says it's doing OCR, and I get a blank window, in other words, nothing has been recognized. If I click on that link, and then click on the "view full size" link that comes up, and maximize the window, and do OCR after making sure I'm highlighting part of the image, I get nothing. However, if I *save* the image and run KNFB Reader on it, I get this.
"Ally Maynard @missmayn In 2009, Colorado began offering teens free IUDs without parental consent. Within 8 years teen pregnancies dropped 54%. Teen abortion rates fell by 64%. For every $1 spent on the program the state saved $5.85 in labor and delivery costs, child-care assistance and food stamps. There is a reasonable and logical way to lower abortions. 97.940 notes"
Am I doing something wrong? If not, any ideas why this isn't working? I'm using Windows 10 OCR, I uninstalled the OCR addon when 10's OCR happened but just in case I checked, and it's definitely not installed. I see a *lot* of stuff like this from people, memes with text that is, and it's getting really annoying. At least if I can find out what it's about, I can be annoyed by the actual content or block them or make fun of them or such, as the occasion demands. In case it's helpful, here's the giant link to the image, it spans multiple lines.
