Yes it is. However it is very over priced for what it does. Andrea

I wonder if the software called "Text Cloner" is
still around. For what it was/did, that was a cool little program!

Re: OCR software?
One of the things I'm having trouble understanding here is the context or contexts for the OCR processing being discussed:
Virtually any relatively recent, and by that I do not mean new, scanner or multi-function machine will come with an OCR engine as part of its manufacturers software suite. Canon, HP, Kodak, and other multi-function machines I've worked with were all able to scan with OCR as part of the scan and, as it happened, their scanner control software was also accessible by screen reader. I've been using Canon's multi-functions for years now, and even the cheapest one (read: cost about $30 ten years ago) had a software suite included with it that featured OCR as an integral part of scanning if one identified what one was scanning as a document. I've repeatedly mentioned that Tracker Software makes two excellent free pieces of software that, while not 100% accessible, are 100% accessible for doing OCR processing on image PDFs with a remarkable level of accuracy and that also feature free language packs if you're not scanning documents in English. See either PDF-XChange Viewer or PDF-XChange Editor. The "on the fly" instance is one where I don't know of anything off the top of my head. -- He discloses the workings of a mind to which incoherence lends an illusion of profundity. ~ T. De Vere White

Hello, It does! It tells you your ip address and your provider. For example Concast. Or whatever you use.

I'm not sure if I remember this correctly but as
far as I know, whether things like mbps are written in capital or small letters
determines what the unit of measure is. Someone else may provide definite
information.

Re: Accessible Internet Speed Test
Travis Siegel <tsiegel@...>
These guys measure in bytes per second. You'll also likely need to round to the nearest 100. I.E. my download came in at 27.63MBPS. I know my download is 25 MBPS actually, so rounding to the nearest 100 would actually give me 27MBPS, but apparently I just hit a good timeframe on the network,. On the other hand, my upload speed came in at 4.59MBPS, which I also know should be 5MBPS, so rounding to the nearest 100 would give accurate results on that one. I'm guessing my provider doesn't optimize for uploads. :)

Folks,
In the speed test, does MBPS mean megabytes per second, or megabits per second?

Hello, This is beta, but it is good enough. It is based on HTML5 technology, if I'm not mistaking. Find the link labeled "GO!" and activate it. The internet speed test will start. You'll be notified when it is completed and the results from it. But you can manually read the results on the page - find the link labeled "Again" and read the information after it - it contains the test results. Note, that if you are using Firefox for the testing, NVDA may get a lot chatty during the test and repeat that the test is over 50% completed a lot of times. Use Internet Explorer to do the testing if you don't want to hear all that chattiness - it does not occur in it. Hmm, could this chattiness be a Firefox issue? Maybe we should report it? ______

Re: Forcing an NVDA Search rather than a built-in search function
Chris, NVDA Find is: NVDA Key + CTRL + F NVDA Find Next is: NVDA + F3 NVDA Find Previous is: NVDA + Shift + F3 Essentially, it's precisely the same as a regular find but with NVDA Key added (except, perhaps, for previous, as I've never tried the Shift modifier outside a screen reader) This is all in the Browse Mode section of the Commands Quick Reference.

Re: Forcing an NVDA Search rather than a built-in search function
Christopher-Mark Gilland <clgilland07@...>
I, too have a question regarding NVDA searching.
Let's say I'm on a website, and I want to do a search for the word, "download."
However, I need the second instance on the page of this text.
I know I can hit NVDA+CTRL+F to initiate the first
find, type in the word download, and hit enter. But then, what I've been doing
is to then hit NvDA+ctrl+F, then download will already be still filled in, so
I'll just hit enter to then find the next occurance.
Is there an easier way? I tried the standard
hititng F3, and also NVDA+CTRL+F3, etc. basically all combinations that I can
think of. No matter what I try, I cannot seem to find the find next, and find
previous commands which are specific to NVDA's find functionality.
I'm using the desktop layout if that
helps.
I've already looked in the key reference
documentation, but I'm undoubtedly missing something.
Chris.

We don't know if it's a general problem. Gene, No, we don't know for certain. That being said, when two random users are seeing the same behavior on different machines under the same circumstances where there are no obvious other problems the direction that points is, "general problem." If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, the most likely thing it is will be a duck, though there are other less probable fits as well. Also, right now, the general issue I'm concerned about is the fact that issuing the NVDA find command is not triggering the NVDA find on the Gmail Inbox page after I've done a Gmail find and the first NVDA find. I can replicate that reliably and have no reason to believe it's idiosyncratic based on the absence of other idiosyncracies.

This may be a problem on your machine and not a
general one.
I don't know what part of the log might be relevant
but there may be relevant information in the log.
