Re: A more intelligent NVDA OCR?
It is only available in Windows 10, it is also limited by your system language. For ocr on lower version of windows you can try this addon written by me.

Hi, Rob Hudson.
I think, Lion OCR with automatic recognition can do this.

Re: A more intelligent NVDA OCR?
I actually have not try the OCR function with games that involves fast movement of texts, or requires constant realtime interaction with texts, so I can't say how well OCR would work in that kind of situation.

Games move pretty fast though. Are you able to OCR and read and act with real speed?

Re: A more intelligent NVDA OCR?
I think I totally agree with the original post.
NVDA OCR, in the current form, is quite good already but I think this could be improved further, if technology allows it. From my tests, OCR seems to work even with games such as Sims 3, thus allowing me to read in-game texts without the use of Windows Magnifier (well, at least for most of the time).

Re: running beta of nvda
Quentin Christensen
The error sound plays when NVDA encounters an error (and that will be written to the log). In some (many?) cases, the program will pick this up, and try something else to do what it needs to do. In some cases, it is able to work around the problem, do whatever it was trying to do, and an end user wouldn't normally notice any problem. In Alpha and Beta builds, the error sound is played when that error is encountered, even if NVDA then goes on to work around it. In RC and stable builds, the error sound is suppressed. If you look in the log, you'll still find the error there, even if you didn't notice anything untoward while working normally. Ideally the point of the error sound is to alert the tester to the error, so they can investigate further. There has been discussion in the past about the idea of having this be configurable. This is the only issue I can find on it though which was closed a couple of years ago: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/6917. If anyone feels like creating a new issue, I think a case can be argued for the inclusion of an option, perhaps on the "Advanced" settings screen and have error sounds automatically enabled for alpha / beta builds and automatically disabled for RC / release builds. Quentin.

Re: A more intelligent NVDA OCR?
Quentin Christensen
It should work with image PDF files. A couple of things to bear in mind: - It will recognise printed or typed text, but not so much handwritten text (a limitation of basically every OCR). - It works, as Rob noted, with what is currently visible on screen. If you are zoomed in such that only 1/10th of the page is visible, that's all it will be able to run OCR on. If, however, you zoom out so you can fit 100 pages on screen, that won't work either, as the text will be too small to recognise. One page should work well though. Regards Quentin.

Re: running beta of nvda
Hi, No, it doesn’t do that, although we came so close to it a while back with Crash Hero. The checkbox in question is about data to be sent when NVDA checks for updates for the purpose of gathering statistics on synthesizers, braille displays and such. Cheers, Joseph

Doesn't NVDA have an automatic bug reporting system? I thought that is why we have that checkbox that says if you want to send info to the NVDA developers to make it better. Thought it sent back something if an error occurs or something but maybe it doesn't do that.

Re: running beta of nvda
Joseph,
The lack of detailed bug reporting is hardly limited to NVDA, and you know that as well as anyone. But as I've said before, and Tyler confirms in other instances (but at least where something shows up), getting error tones when there is no observable error makes it impossible for someone to even write a bug report. What would it say, "Everything worked just fine, but I got an error tone?." That's why the use of such when real errors have not actually occurred, or are at a level that the end user could never hope to document or influence, they're a terrible idea. I'd also hope that NVDA, like most modern software, includes telemetry to report "silent error" conditions. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 It’s hard waking up and realizing it’s not always black and white. ~ Kelley Boorn

Find a graphic with text and hit NVDA+r. OCR results pop up in a little virtual window. Hit escape to close.

Re: running beta of nvda
Hi,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
It is useful in alpha builds, but I do understand that it isn't so much for beta releases. The bigger problem isn't swapping debug tone - rather, instructing people as to how to spot these errors and reporting them using appropriate methods. This is the reason why whenever I get bug reports about add-ons (or in some cases, NVDA itself), I ask for a debug log offlist so it can be reproduced and reported to NV Access; in some cases I do come back and report additional findings and let folks know what will happen in a follow-up action. Perhaps the bigger issue would be teaching people about how to report bugs appropriately. It isn't enough to simply state that you are hearing descending tones. Users and developers would like to know possible steps taken to arrive at a specific problem, including what NVDA did versus what folks were expecting. Even though users might not be able to provide certain details, discussions on this list and elsewhere may provide necessary info for people to help debug and think about solutions (and in some cases, implement them). Although I do not say this a lot in public, but I feel it is time I say it: I take lack of detailed bug reports and the atmosphere behind lack of effective bug reporting instructions as a personal failure. Cheers, Joseph
