Hi Heddy,



Pontes Media Downloader does give you the option to download the full

unconverted video from Youtube. It also allows conversion to MP3 and

other audio formats. I am totally blind myself and therefore I cannot

make accurate analysis of just what quality of videos are downloaded.

By default, it downloads the video in MP4 format. I think this may be a

compressed form of the video, so if compressed video format is not good

enough, maybe this won't work for you.



In any case, the download page for this app is:

Any suggestions for a free app?

You are on the stable add-ons page. You will see a link as you look

down the page for add-ons under development. You may use them if you

wish but they may have bugs, being sort of like betas.

Legacy add-ons, as I understand it, and there is a link to them as

well, are those that can be used with older versions of NVDA. I'm

not sure, but I don't think they will work with current versions.

If you go to the page I gave a link to earlier and move down the page

Please be careful when downloading video converters. They tend to be
notorious for containing potentially unwanted programs (PUP's) or even
outright malware. I can't count the number of machines I've had to
repair over the years because of this very reason. If you do decide
you absolutely must have such, then please try ninite first
www.ninite.com
as this bypasses all the crapware.

If not, then at least pay attention when installing & uncheck the
other offerings most of these try to present, but even so, that
doesn't always work. & Google does not screen these, so searching for
such programs there does not mean you'll necessarily get a
crapware-free app.

I'd like to know if there are any addons for nativeaccess? If so, where can I get it? P.S. I'm also interested in the ocr but i'm not sure whether NVDA already has an ocr engine. I've updated to windows 10 version 2004 if that helps anything. Also at some point I'll probably decide to learn reaper and i'll need to know where all the sound libraries go for it.

Hi all,

i've recently released a new development version of the OCR addon which
can be downloaded from
https://github.com/lukaszgo1/nvda-ocr/releases/download/v2.1-dev/ocr-2.1-dev.nvda-addon
While user visible changes are documented in the readme the main change
in this version is the way in which parts of the screen are captured for
recognition and that is where I need your help. If you're using my
add-on currently I would be grateful if you could install the dev
version from the link above and use it for some time.
I've done some testing before release obviously but it is impossible
to account for every application out there, and while the new capturing
implementation makes future maintenance easier I don't want to do that
at the cost of worse recognition results.
Many thanks for your testing!
