Also, for a long time, Omnipage had a bug that caused text to be misplaced when recognizing documents that had columns. I don't know if this has been finally corrected. Gene ----- Original Message

With Kurzweil, you can use save as to save the document in any format Kurzweil supports, including a text file. It is just as though you were saving any other recognized material, such as a book.

I would think it is put to sleep when you are in the Kurzweil window because Kurzweil is a self-voicing program. Kurzweil should provide all the information you need through its own speech. If you

However, if the general perception among those who administer such software is that NVDA may be more dangerous, that still means that the perception makes it as much a problem as if it were reality.

Yes Kurzweil works with NVDA though for best results you need to mute speech in one of the applications as they will otherwise talk together. I normally just use NVDA plus s to toggle speech off

Productivity is a different story, and the answer will depend on the user and what they do at work. For me, NVDA seems more limiting than productive, especially with software/web design because unless

Have you checked the NVDA Addons to see if there is something for Kurzweil? I don't have Kurzweil so have never checked. Richard 🖖 Live long and prosper Check out my web site at:

I worked for the Saskatoon school board for decades. I used nvda for the last 8 years with no problems or complaints.

Hi The instructions given are correct. Note there are 2 entries each for bang and tick, you will have to enter a new replacement for all entries. Cheers Chris

I added dictionary entries so that they get spoken how I wish. It has worked for me, though I've only done it for the left and right versions, “” and ‘ which I get NVDA to say "left/right quote"

As for scanning PDF I use ScanSoft Omnipage myself.  Instead of running just OCR it converts the PDF file into a nice TXT file you can then browse.  But of course, the tool in question is not cheap,

Does NVDA work with Kurzweil 1000? When I try to do OCR on a PDF, the arrow keys and other navigation keys seem to do nothing.

I do actually use NVDA at work; my IT department didn't have an issue with it, so I wasn't aware that this was even a problem. My real question is whether NVDA leads to noticeably less productivity in

We are getting off topic, but most IT departments don’t have the resources to look through NVDA/Open source software and determine if it’s secure enough. Then again, JAWS also has its problems

Part of the reason secured environments don’t allow NVDA is partly because it is written in Python, an interpreted programming language much like Java or JavaScript. Python is not type safe. This

Anyone who suggests that open source software shouldn't be allowed in a secure environment doesn't understand the concept of peer review and "we have nothing to hide - look at our software and judge

Hi, everyone, I hope this isn't too off-topic. I recently heard an argument that NVDA is bad for blind prospect's in employment because it is the "dumbed down" solution. The person arguing this
