Probably because it's generally not considered necessary (though I'll be shocked if someone doesn't come back saying there's a setting you can use to do just that). Visually, you get no indicator that

I have recently updated to the latest Thunderbird, 68.4.1. When I go to the address book I get no spoken feedback when I up and down arrow through the list of my entries. I can still type the first

The one thing NVDA can't change, as far as I know, is the "voice profile" in the advanced section of the Eloquence program. It's where you pick voices like Reed, Gramma, and so on. I've never seen a

Using NVDA, why don't NVDA echo the keyboard commands copy, cut, paste ETC?

Kurszweil may still allow you to set an engine. Openbook used to, but they now have settings such as faster and slower, but more accurate. It may be that one of these settings only uses one engine

Hi, Have been using the HP I.R.I.S. OCR which came with my HP Jet Pro printer 8710 wireless a printer/scanner combo purchased 3 years ago for $99. It works well and is accessible with NVDA. It

I have been using scanners since the last millennium. I have used Canon, hp and Epson brands. From my experience, the only reason the scanner would yield poor results is if the platen is dirty or

It's my impression that both open book and kurzweil use one of the popular recognition engines, omnipage, ABBY, etc?  With one of those packages installed, is it possible to use just the ocr engine

Hi, I am planning out a feature called overlap detection. However, I need your input on the matter. Since Developer toolkit has many different use cases and environments it works in, this feature may

Perhaps the difficulty often encountered with optical character recognition software might be the sort of scanner employed. I upgraded my computer, recently. Which involved purchasing a new scanner.

I am actually a little bit surprised. I used Kurzweil Educational Systems 1000 with a scanner when I was in school 15 years ago. But at the time, this ocr did a lot of mistakes, meaning that even

That is what I discovered. When they were checked NVDA could not change anything. ****** character is found in how you treat people who cannot do anything for you!

While in university, I tried the demo and liked it. I couldn't afford the software so just cracked it with some serials some guy gave me from somewhere. I used it for the next 5 years. My eventual

It shouldn't. If you tab through when you open the Eloquence program, there are three checkboxes, "force pitch settings", "force speech rate", and "force volume". If all of them are unchecked, NVDA

Yes, It is a great program; toobad the k 1000 costs a thousand dollars, but loaded with bells and whistles.

Maybe if you set anything in NVDA, it turns the force settings on. Gene

I never had to do any such things unless the force settings were on. I would suggest looking for those settings. Gene

Hi If you have a 8mp camera recommended like in a web cam I can take a picture of the document and have it read out. It also if holding or off a clip will tell you if all 4

I just posted moments ago that I just learned that the eloquence settings override the NVDA settings. ****** character is found in how you treat people who cannot do anything for you!

Hmph. I did not know that. So I guess we can view the knfb reader is the kurzweil home version with just basic scanning and ocr without the other stuff. Now eventually I plan to get the regular k1000
