Re: NVDA OCR with adobe image file
CARLOS-ESTEBAN <carlosestebanpianista@...>
Hi all. What happen in the file when you open the PDF with a browser? Firefox, Chrome, Edge and others browsers based in Chromium (Brabe, Opera, etc.) read PDF files, and in Some cases let that NVDA detect the graphics, and you can use the OCR pressing f11 for complete screen before of NVDA+r. Regards.

Quentin,
Thanks for esponding!
As soon as I opened the file, I received no response from within the file. I pressed down-arrow and then up-arrow and I got the message “Empty document” as you suggested. I then pressed NVDA + r and got the following response: “This document appears to be empty. It may be a scanned image that needs OCR or it may be a malformed document”
The Result line shows no data at all.
Would it be possible to share this file with you and see what you observe about it? The content is Irish so I don’t expect you to validate the text but, at least, you might be able to determine why the OCR is not happening.
All the best,
Cearbhall

Re: table navigation issues

I get a similar problem on a banking site. I use latest MS Edge and when I use T for table and then try to navigate the table using Cntrl+Alt plus cursor arrows, nvda says, not in a table cell. I then have to navigate along the rows rather than up and down the rows. It is annoying, but I can still get what I want.

Re: table navigation issues
Gene
I would think this isn't related to your project, but I see instances where things look like tables to sighted readers but are not, so a screen-reader can't read them in any sort of logical manner. How often this happens, I don't know and it may be to an extent the sites I happen to look at a good deal but it is nonetheless an accessibility issue to present something that looks like a table and isn't

Re: wanted nvda for my windows 7 home basic

Hi Quentin, Thanks for that. The page is perhaps slightly misleading in that the current support mentions 7 SP1, but the old version text refers to Xp and below, missing the initial release of 7, but I of course acknowledge it’s a very small point.

While everyone is correct that the latest NVDA 2020.3 works fine on Windows 7, that is Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed.
If you happen to have just reformatted with your original Windows 7 media and haven't yet gone through the myriad of updates required before you get to SP1, then you will need NVDA 2017.3. There is a link to that on the download page as well: https://www.nvaccess.org/download/nvda/releases/2017.3/nvda_2017.3.exe

Hi Christo You don’t mention what version of Outlook you’re using. In my Office 2019 at work, I can press f6 from my inbox to get to the status bar then, shift+f10 to right-clic it and choose the items I want.
Does that work to any degree, or perhaps someone will have a better solution. 😊 S.

I'd have to say that I disagree with you about regular expressions not being confusing, and particularly to those who don't have a programming backgroundOkay, I was probably too cavalier in saying that. They can be confusing, especially in the more advanced concepts. I have been using them for nearly 25 years, and I still have to refresh myself on certain details from time to time. But the basics of what they are doing does not have to be confusing. You can learn to pick them apart and understand more about what's going on then just seeing a pile of weird parentheticals and punctuations. You may not always understand the depths of some esoteric construction, but i believe the basics can be learned without a programming background, at least enough to use them for solving moderate problems. Getting mad ninja skills with them takes years of familiarity, as does anything, even spoken languages. with regular expressions is clearly fresher and better than mine is.As you know from my private e-mail to you, while I can figure out how one can captureI don't know about that, but it may be more twisty. I started with writing and debugging expressions used in the very old days to fight email spam, before the big companies took over that business. Some of those expressions could be mind blowing, hair pulling, and thousands of characters long. I was very much thrown in the deep end and had to learn to swim or else. the Roman numerals one through four, or five through eight, with a single "compact" regular expression pattern match I have no idea how one would then haveAs far as I can tell, it can't be done except as we've done it. There is no cleaner way. Though I'd love to learn of one. soon as Janet had noted that her needed range was the Roman numerals one through ten, I took the easy way out, and a way that I felt was "moreI never saw that, not having received her messages. understandable" to the person who was going to used it.I only wish I could figure out a way to handle Roman numeral one reliably sans a delimiting colon. IAgreed. I suspect machine learning and neural nets would be the class of solutions preferred for that one. It does beg the question though: why in the world are we still using Roman Numerals? We don't have to carve straight lines into rock in order to record our numbers any more, for Jupiter's sake. But that's a question for another day, and another list. Luke

[Regarding my question about the use of \s?] My thinking it that there can be no whitespace after the colon, or an instance of a single whitespace character, but not multiple whitespace characters.Are you sure? Just using egrep -e on my local machine, all of the following expressions will match the string "test": .*st te.* \s?st te\s? I agree that one could probably use \b, but I was thinking "whitespace" and used whitespace matching.I understand why whitespace might be interesting there. But searching for it as optional, without an anchor or pre/post text, is the same as not searching for it at all. It is an old truism in regex building, that if your match potentially includes zero of something at the start or end of an expression, it may as well not be there unless there is an anchor. For example, my tests above, rewritten as: ^\s?st te\s?$ would fail as they should. But the naked zero space matches in the originals function exactly as a full wildcard (.*). Luke

Re: NVDA and Microsoft Office Outlook 2003
Quentin Christensen
In NVDA's advanced settings, there is an option to use UIA in Word. Outlook essentially uses Word to display messages, and I wonder if something is going funny in the older version of Office with this new setting: 1. Press NVDA+control+g to open NVDA's settings. 2. Press CONTROL+SHIFT+TAB to move from the first page to the last page, advanced. 3. Press space to check the "I understand that changing these settings may cause NVDA to function incorrectly" checkbox. 4. Press TAB to "Use UIA automation to access Microsoft Word document controls when available. 5. Press space to uncheck this. 6. Press ENTER to close settings 7. Press NVDA+contorl+c to save NVDA's settings. I'm not sure exactly why the freeze is happening, but I expect the reason it is happening as soon as you move focus to that problematic email in the list, is because Word is trying to show you a preview of the message in the preview page. To be honest, I can't recall the steps for Outlook 2003, but according to Google: "To turn off the preview pane: In Microsoft Outlook 2003 and 2007, select the View menu, navigate to Reading pane and click Off. In Windows Mail, click on the View menu and select Layout. Under the Preview Pane section, uncheck "Show preview pane"." Regards Quentin.
