I am running windows 10 and have NVDA Version: 2022.2.2

I looked in check for add-on updates and it says I have an update for "Windows App Essentials" available.  However, when I try to do the update it comes back after trying to download and install it that I am running an unsupported version of windows.  It says I am running 21H1 and it requires 21H2 or 22H2. 

I checked my windows update and it says I am up to date and have no updates available.

Why am I seeing a Windows App Essentials update when my version of Windows is incompatible?  Do I need to do something different to update to a compatible version of Windows?

But I also have a question:  Do any of the "internal" OCR options result in the file being OCRed having those changes kept permanently?  I can't imagine that the single page "quick and dirty" OCR would do this as it would make no sense to even try because many documents are more than one page, and a partially OCRed file is as bad as one that still needs to be processed.  But I don't know much about the NVDA Advanced OCR (NAO) Add-On other than that it exists and what its primary purpose is.

If the file is to be used over and over and over again, and neither adds a text layer that sticks with the file, there are other options that do just that.  But they're not done by NVDA itself or an add-on.

Access 2016, but it seems to be universal.  How can I prevent Access from speaking row/column numbers when moving from cell to cell.  I am using Access remotely, so everything is slow anyway; but NVDA speaks row/column information every time I move to a new cell, and it speaks it twice.  I have tried disabling table headers, but that doesn't do it.

Any suggestions as to what might work?

Thx,

Brian, I don't understand why you can't organise messages into folders using IMAP. What's POP3 got to do with it?

All the best

I would not call this group high traffic, and after all if you sort to topics you can easily bypass things you are not interested in. This sort of thing is why I like to keep a machine running pop3.
 I have every group in a different folder auto sorted by the header details.

Every time the group hits what appears to be "a heavy volume period" as far as messages go I invariably see several people unsubscribing from the group. 
If that's what you want to do, that's fine, but it's also unnecessary if it's the volume of messages you find problematic. Groups.io, unlike most other email list services, gives you exquisite control over the messages you receive from a group and the format you receive them in. Here's the tutorial, in either MS-Word or PDF format, take your pick, for doing just
that:
Controlling the Messages You Receive via E-Mail from Groups.io ( https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1B941pSg2OCRKGukRg1d5w7nwu8wJLUaK )

(PDF)

Because there are times you may want to find something you know was discussed in the past, I'm including these tutorials as well:
*Searching a Groups.io Topics Page/Archive

Hi,

I get that. The cool thing is, Windows App Essentials will not even run on Windows 7 - one of the first things the add-on does when NVDA starts is check if you've got a compatible Windows 10 or 11 release, so on Windows 7, people can safely assume that the add-on will not cause problems unless an app is using the same executable name as that of a Windows 10 or 11 app.

Cheers,

Joseph

Wondering about these OCR options: Do all the offerred programs use the
same OCR engine with just a little diferene in the interface? Can't
imagine that everyone wants to invent his own version of the wheel, as
they say.

Hi all,

The good new is that now, the addons community website allow that another person can send a pull request to the repository Addon Files. Is necessary know the use of GitHub for send the update. More information: Requirements for add-on submissions (nvda-project.org)

The Spanish Catalog, in the case of the addons mentioned, update when a new version is available in the GitHub repository of the author. If you have the last version of Addon Updater, you can go to NVDA menu, preferences, settings, category Addon Updater and change the source for get the updates in a new combo box called Add-on update source to Spanish community add-ons catalog.

Regards.

Asunto: Re: [nvda] does anyone know why some add-ons on the Spanish repository are more up to date than the NVDA repository?

 

We leave it up to the authors to upgrade the addons.

 

I have made a request to tony in the usual way months ago to update his

addon on official but never got a responce.

 

 

And he hasen't released since then so for whatever reason he may not be

doing anymore but yeah, maybe its time to just bump the latest 1.14

release up to the main repo.

 

I have the latest but I don't have the latest on updater so I have it

disabled and manually get it but this is  the only complaint.

Does anyone know if nvda has a function like the convenient ocr option in jaws where you can right click – do the applications key on a pdf and arrow down to convenient ocr with jaws and press enter and jaws will try and ocr the file and pull the text out of it?

Thanks,
