OCR?

Christopher-Mark Gilland <clgilland07@...>
 


Guys,
 
I've ran into a very very urgent matter which is work related.
 
I can read up more on object nav, and more on the OCR plugin, but at least, can you all help get me up and running with the basics here? What I need is to know... I have a screen which has some controls exposed which NVDA cannot seem to see. Not even with object nav, or screen review.
 
Let me say that I normally prefer screen review over object. I just find it more logical, seeing that I normally use JAWS, so I'm more used to the jaws cursor kind of approach.
 
Anyway, I think we're gonna have to OCR this window to get anywhere so I can see and click the controls. I think once I get to the place to click that'll open the browser window in the screen I need access to, then OCR won't be needed after that point, but I just need to get that one area visible.
 
If any of you are wonderring what this window is, it's the Synthogy Ivory VST plugin window within Reaper. I just need to be able to get to the browser to select and load one of the libraries.
 
So, generally, I don't wanna veer off topic and start talking Reaper, or Ivory, so let's keep this as much NVDA as we can. That said, what are the basic steps required to do OCR on a screen once the OCR addon has been installed to NVDA? And, can I use NVDA+numpad 7 to get to screen review, or is it  something where with OCR, I'll have! to use object, no other way.
 
Chris.

Travis,

        I'm agnostic about the banning of Kaspersky by the Trump Administration, but the article you point to is 3 years old (almost).  If this were direct punishment for something like this it's highly unlikely it would have taken three years to do it.

Maybe it got better. I never used it. But a Jaws user on FB was asking if
Blackboard was accessible. They said it was. So I took it upon myself to ask
if it would work with NVDA. Cause not everybody uses Jaws.

Well when I used blackboard 6 most of it worked but that is ages and ages
ago.

At the time most things worked but assignment submition didn't always work
and a few form related things just didn't work.

However I know blackboard themselves have an accessibility team or someone
that moniters them does as once someone appeared on the local list I was on
for the blind stating as such.

So chances are there are people watching who knows.

It's used for schools. Used to set up assignments, tests and other things.

Docuscan will also work for that, or you can talk to the professor. Most are willing to work with you in providing text version of the pdfs, Mine have ben more than wonderful over the years. Some won't be, but not much you can do about that besides make a complaint to your DRC.

I'm really interested in this thread because I'm intending to go back to Swansea Uni, where I did my BSc in chemistry back in the 1990s, and study for MA in creative writing. I know they use Blackboard so have been browsing around to get an idea about how accessible it is.

From what I've read it should be fine though, as Erik says, it very much depends on the professors using it accessibly. This comes up in an AFB post about how blind students find Blackboard, http://www.afb.org/afbpress/pubnew.asp?DocID=aw160702

I know at Swansea, a UK uni, there is a disability office that handles transcriptions of any textbooks or handouts that aren't available electronically, and will step in if anything accessibility related is hindering your chances of successfully completing your studies. I'm optimistic that Blackboard will be sufficiently useable when I get there :)

I've heard of a lot of  trouble with microsoft access and data bases over the years. In fact a student I know had to drop a class bcause of inaccessibility of access, and they were using jaws, and this was in 2012.. I hope someone else has better news.

And, here's the other side of the coin.

It's possible they're being banned, because they uncovered us spy software built into most hard drives.

It appeared in countless mainstream media around the world and you would

Gosh, sounds like when in Italy priests told the people that communists
ate children! ROFL!

Kaspersky is quite good, in fact. Only a bit cumbersome, if anything.

lol! I've seen hoaxes of all sorts spread by very reliable sources!

Wouldn't take it seriously, especially given the times we're living in right now, and all strange attitudes toward Russia that are being displayed here and there...

Yes maybe maybe not. I heard it yesterday and thought to myself, well its been like this for years, would not all the horses have already bolted by now if this really was true?
IE its a bit late to start to worry now. some of the best virus writers come from over there and for ages there have been conspiracy roumours that those helping to write anti virus software also wrotw most of the viruses in the first place!

Re: Open Offices stops responding

Hi Walmir,

 

This is something that a few of us are following and trying to assemble failure logs to show the development team what is causing these failures. O far the issues have all related to Outlook but yours in Libra and Open office look similar. Would you like to help?

 

You can help by writing out step by step what action you are doing that leads to the breakdown. As Quentin has advised recently, you need to set the NVDA log on  to “Debug” mode first. The NVDA log is always present. You can find it as the first item under TOOLS in the NVDA MENU.

 

If you want to see how others have reported the isue, look at issue 7556 on GitHub.

 

 

All the best,

 

Cearbhall

Hi,

Both LibreOffice and OpenOffice have serious issues when used with NVDA.

LibreOffice is better, but be prepared to find crashes, unexpected silences from NVDA and other annoyances.

I use LibreOffice, but always with a ton of patience.

While using NVDA Open Office stops responding.  Is there a fix?
