Re: Tha Alexa App on the pc

David Griffith
 

Which bitsd are you finding  difficult?

Generally you have to hit the menu button  at the top of the page to open up the tabs   area of the site and then press enter on a tab to go to that part of the App.

It is not my most favorite web site but it does work for me.

 

The Alexa app  on the iPhone also seems  less clunky nowadays.

This is a very quirky web app. it seems not to work very well for me at

least. Is there anything that can be done to de mystify it for use, or would

that require a front end like twitter and Face book clients, assuming nobody

can persuade Amazon to make it more intuitive in use.

I keep hearing that there is an OCR option for nvda is it true OCR? And that you can scan a piece of mail or a book with it? If that's true, how does it work and where do you get it I looked and can't find it and only see stuff about recognizing images on the screen like on Facebook or something but then I keep hearing that there is actual OCR so can someone tell me how to find it and if that's true or not thanks

Hi Kerryn,

 

I copied this from last October's In-Process re using OCR.  Basically:

 

To do OCR with NVDA 2017.4 on Windows 10:

1. Open the PDF file in Adobe Reader.

2. Press NVDA+r. NVDA reports “Recognising”. After a pause, NVDA reports “Result document”.
3. Although visually, the screen hasn’t changed, NVDA has placed the text recognised in the image in a “virtual document”. You can navigate around this just like a document in WordPad. Press NVDA+down arrow (laptop: NVDA+a) to read the whole document from the current point.
4. Press control+home to move to the top of the virtual document.
5. Press down arrow to move through and read the text line by line.
6. When finished, press escape to exit the virtual document.

 

Or, using Windows 7 or 8 OR NVDA earlier than 2017.3:

1. Open the PDF file in Adobe Reader

2. Press NVDA+r. NVDA reports “Recognising”. After a pause, NVDA reports “Done”.
3. Although visually, the screen hasn’t changed, NVDA has placed the text recognised in the image in a “virtual document”. You can navigate around this using the review cursor. Press numpad plus (laptop: NVDA+shift+a) to read the whole document from the current point
4. Press shift+numpad 7 (laptop: NVDA+control+home) to move to the top of the virtual document.
5. Press numpad 9 (laptop: NVDA+down arrow) to move through and read the text line by line.

 

 

With regard to "utilising the mouse arrow", could you please clarify exactly what you are trying to do?  Yes it is possible to do several things either with the mouse, or to the mouse and with further information, I can give you steps for that also.

 

Kind regards

 

Quentin.

You are assuming a sound would be wanted for every punctuation sign.  And at least in Engglish and many languages, there aren't that many.  Period, question mark, colon, semicolon quotation marks and you might want a sound for ellipsis.  You could have more sounds as well.  You could have sounds in the pronunciation dictionary so you can assign sounds for whatever you want.  The user could even put sound files in the program if he/she doesn't like what is provided.  Now let's see what kinds of sounds we might have  Bell, whistle, door close, door open, chime, and all sorts of variations such as high pitch bell, low pitch bell, car dor, a door such as in a house, and other people may come up with all sorts of other examples.  The world is full of distinctive sounds.  And JAWS has had such a feature for probably over a dedcade so this is not at all a novel idea.

I'm sure you were aware that there was a now dead comedian who made a lot of

Now my one problem with having a mode like this is, given the number of
different marks and their meaning in different circumstances in different
languages, it could need one heck of a  lot of individual sounds to cover
them all. I do know what you are getting at different sorts of brackets and
colons etc, are main candidates, with underscores being also useful.

Maybe this is add on territory ie a programmers version as most of us prefer
not to hear these greater thans etc all over the place, but obviously such
things are important in programming as are brackets and indents etc.

Normally registration changes are held in a cache for speed so you nearly always need to reboot to get the new data into this.
I have found this on many occasions with these kind of changes. its often different when its purely an app registry entry, but not a system wide one.

Do you have mail from today on the list? Instructions were sent to perform the operation that will very likely solve your problem. This is very likely an unregistered dll problem and you probably uninstalled a program that unregistered them. Uninstalling programs in the Microsoft Word suite unregisters them, at least uninstalling Word does. I don't recall the other programs being discussed. As I said earlier, this is such a frequent problem that the tools menu ought to have a utility for reregistering the dlls and information about the problem should be in the user guide and in all general NVDA tutorials.

Re: questions about fire fox.

Maybe the windows 7 box is running slower hardware?
I also find the esr the only viable option on windows 7 but for other reasons than speed. Mostly the problems with the download dialogue being buggy to read and the lack of the ability to load in sounds for firefox any more. I'm hoping that by June Firefox will have sorted out a lot of their issues again, though I have to say, I'm not holding my breath. Since there are still other browsers out there based on the older version of Firefox code then I'm not too worried about being on the cutting edge as that is always going to have its issues.

Hello I am new here but love the screen reader and do have a windows 10 system and a windows7 box. The question am wondering about is I downloaded the latest version of fire fox it works really well on windows 10 but when I try to use it on my windows 7 box it is quite sluggish why is that, I know it is quite big so that is why on that machine am running the extended support version and that version is not as big as version 58.0 and it runs really nice on that machine and NVDA has no problem. Can some one tell me why are those situations so different? I have been using NVDA since think 2012 it has come a long way. I like the hard work that has been put in to this and hope it continues. I do use Jaws, but NVDA is better since you don't have to deal with authorization numbers and how menny activation

Hi


In the search box after typing in command prompt when the search result come up in windows i am wondering if fyou might of missed the step where then you hit the applications key on the result then arrow down on to the run as admin or what ever it is called then pressed the enter key. that will then give you admin rights then type in what you copied and pasted or did it?


After it has done its thing then you can close it with the alt key + f4 key, you might have to reboot but before you do check to see if you are still having the same problems I think it fixes it before hand.


it was a while back when i done it to a couple of machines.

Subject: [nvda] NVDA next snapshot and an extra sound


Dear friends, I’m using NVDA next snapshot version 14835, 560ed22a whenever
I start it, I hear an extra sound which is Bing sound.
Please let me know if it is the indication of some sort of error?
If I’m getting error every time, then I should stop using that snapshot
and start using stable NVDA.
I hope that my question will be entertained swiftly.

To be honest the speed of it seems to depend on what is crashed. I use 7 and when that next snap crashed a few days ago leaving many bits running but stuffed it was incredibly slow even though the processes appeared not to be taking a lot of processor time. I think its been lying about resource use for many years, particularly on multi core processors, or maybe there is just a problem in these processors that makes it seem to be slow, I'm not sure.

Hmmm I'd prefur if I could have a choice of having the error on or not in case something does mean something.

Saying that, it appears win10 task manager in 17.09 is quite slow on my new ssd laptop I am using with my aunt, nothing else go to task manager and its just really slow starting sometimes the system acts like its locking, this seems only to be a major issue if the process list is open though.

I don't use it enough but to be honest if its like that I may have to find another task manager I can use instead of windows one.

Maybe someone can try this and report this, I rarely need task manager but its usefull if something crashes.

If you use NVdA snapshots, the error sound is left on so people will know when an error occurs and can report it if they want. the error will be in the log. If you don't want to report it, you can just ignore it if the program works correctly. Some errors don't affect program performance.

Versions of the program that are not for evaluation, the production release versions, have the error sound turned off so users won't be bothered by the sound if errors that don't mean anything occur. If an error occurs that means something, you'll know it because NVDA won't work properly.

Subject: [nvda] NVDA Next Snapshot And An Extra Sound


Dear friends, as I have stated that whenever I start NVDA, just before the dialogue of task bar, it gives me an extra sound.

I just wonder what is the indication of this sound?

The matter of fact is that since 2010 when I started to learn computer, I have been using JAWS.

Since launch of latest tutorial of Joseph Lee, I have become the fan of NVDA.

Secondly my Lisence of JAWS 2018 will expire in October this year and then I will not be able to have another JAWS lisence because of financial reasons, therefore I have time from now to October to learn and adopt the habit of switching over from JAWS to NVDA.

Because I’m new to NVDA, that’s why this extra sound disturbs me a lot.

The reason is so simple that is my mind is a kind of mind when a question is created, I never get rest until the answer of that question is given to it.

I therefore hope that my question will be dealt with swiftly!

Re: Visual Studio vs Visual Studio Code

Edhoari Setiyoso
 

Hi,

Visual Studio Code is very much accessible with NVDA and so does Visual Studio.

Depends on what you're working on, they have different purpose. Visual Studio Vode is more of Text Editor while Visual Studio is complete IDE.

Hi,

 

I think the OCR that comes with NVDA is just for images. You'd have to have a separate program for scanning things like mail and books.

Hi Kerryn,

 

I copied this from last October's In-Process re using OCR.  Basically:

 

To do OCR with NVDA 2017.4 on Windows 10:

1. Open the PDF file in Adobe Reader.

2. Press NVDA+r. NVDA reports “Recognising”. After a pause, NVDA reports “Result document”.
3. Although visually, the screen hasn’t changed, NVDA has placed the text recognised in the image in a “virtual document”. You can navigate around this just like a document in WordPad. Press NVDA+down arrow (laptop: NVDA+a) to read the whole document from the current point.
4. Press control+home to move to the top of the virtual document.
5. Press down arrow to move through and read the text line by line.
6. When finished, press escape to exit the virtual document.

 

Or, using Windows 7 or 8 OR NVDA earlier than 2017.3:

1. Open the PDF file in Adobe Reader

2. Press NVDA+r. NVDA reports “Recognising”. After a pause, NVDA reports “Done”.
3. Although visually, the screen hasn’t changed, NVDA has placed the text recognised in the image in a “virtual document”. You can navigate around this using the review cursor. Press numpad plus (laptop: NVDA+shift+a) to read the whole document from the current point
4. Press shift+numpad 7 (laptop: NVDA+control+home) to move to the top of the virtual document.
5. Press numpad 9 (laptop: NVDA+down arrow) to move through and read the text line by line.

 

 

With regard to "utilising the mouse arrow", could you please clarify exactly what you are trying to do?  Yes it is possible to do several things either with the mouse, or to the mouse and with further information, I can give you steps for that also.

 

Kind regards

 

Quentin.

You are assuming a sound would be wanted for every punctuation sign.  And at least in Engglish and many languages, there aren't that many.  Period, question mark, colon, semicolon quotation marks and you might want a sound for ellipsis.  You could have more sounds as well.  You could have sounds in the pronunciation dictionary so you can assign sounds for whatever you want.  The user could even put sound files in the program if he/she doesn't like what is provided.  Now let's see what kinds of sounds we might have  Bell, whistle, door close, door open, chime, and all sorts of variations such as high pitch bell, low pitch bell, car dor, a door such as in a house, and other people may come up with all sorts of other examples.  The world is full of distinctive sounds.  And JAWS has had such a feature for probably over a dedcade so this is not at all a novel idea.

Now my one problem with having a mode like this is, given the number of
different marks and their meaning in different circumstances in different

them all. I do know what you are getting at different sorts of brackets and
colons etc, are main candidates, with underscores being also useful.

Maybe this is add on territory ie a programmers version as most of us prefer
not to hear these greater thans etc all over the place, but obviously such

Re: At a loss

Do you have mail from today on the list?  Instructions were sent to perform the operation that will very likely solve your problem.  This is very likely an unregistered dll problem and you probably uninstalled a program that unregistered them.  Uninstalling programs in the Microsoft Word suite unregisters them, at least uninstalling Word does.  I don't recall the other programs being discussed.  As I said earlier, this is such a frequent problem that the tools menu ought to have a utility for reregistering the dlls and information about the problem should be in the user guide and in all general NVDA tutorials.

questions about fire fox.

Sue J. Ward
 

Hello I am new here but love the screen reader and do have a windows 10 system and a windows7 box. The question am wondering about is I downloaded the latest version of fire fox it works really well on windows 10 but when I try to use it on my windows 7 box it is quite sluggish why is that, I know it is quite big so that is why on that machine am running the extended support version and that version is not as big as version 58.0 and it runs really nice on that machine and NVDA has no problem. Can some one tell me why are those situations so different? I have been using NVDA since think 2012 it has come a long way. I like the hard work that has been put in to this and hope it continues. I do use Jaws, but NVDA is better since you don't have to deal with authorization numbers and how menny activation

Hi Kerryn,

 

I copied this from last October's In-Process re using OCR.  Basically:

 

To do OCR with NVDA 2017.4 on Windows 10:

1. Open the PDF file in Adobe Reader.

2. Press NVDA+r. NVDA reports “Recognising”. After a pause, NVDA reports “Result document”.
3. Although visually, the screen hasn’t changed, NVDA has placed the text recognised in the image in a “virtual document”. You can navigate around this just like a document in WordPad. Press NVDA+down arrow (laptop: NVDA+a) to read the whole document from the current point.
4. Press control+home to move to the top of the virtual document.
5. Press down arrow to move through and read the text line by line.
6. When finished, press escape to exit the virtual document.



Or, using Windows 7 or 8 OR NVDA earlier than 2017.3:

1. Open the PDF file in Adobe Reader

2. Press NVDA+r. NVDA reports “Recognising”. After a pause, NVDA reports “Done”.
3. Although visually, the screen hasn’t changed, NVDA has placed the text recognised in the image in a “virtual document”. You can navigate around this using the review cursor. Press numpad plus (laptop: NVDA+shift+a) to read the whole document from the current point
4. Press shift+numpad 7 (laptop: NVDA+control+home) to move to the top of the virtual document.
5. Press numpad 9 (laptop: NVDA+down arrow) to move through and read the text line by line.





With regard to "utilising the mouse arrow", could you please clarify exactly what you are trying to do?  Yes it is possible to do several things either with the mouse, or to the mouse and with further information, I can give you steps for that also.



Kind regards



Quentin.

I like the idea too, along with voice changes or sounds to denote different attributes, such as style changes in word and email, or HTML elements on the web.

This actually reminds me of JFW in that an attachment was detected and for me I had a sliding tone play so I could know what was going on very quickly. I like the idea actually.

You are assuming a sound would be wanted for every punctuation sign.  And at least in Engglish and many languages, there aren't that many.  Period, question mark, colon, semicolon quotation marks and you might want a sound for ellipsis.  You could have more sounds as well.  You could have sounds in the pronunciation dictionary so you can assign sounds for whatever you want.  The user could even put sound files in the program if he/she doesn't like what is provided.  Now let's see what kinds of sounds we might have  Bell, whistle, door close, door open, chime, and all sorts of variations such as high pitch bell, low pitch bell, car dor, a door such as in a house, and other people may come up with all sorts of other examples.  The world is full of distinctive sounds.  And JAWS has had such a feature for probably over a dedcade so this is not at all a novel idea.

No maybe not but this would need a lot of sounds and I question how easy it 
might be to come up with enough of them to be easy to recognise.

The user would select the sound for the specific punctuation.  There 
wouldn't be preassigned sounds.

I'm sure you were aware that there was a now dead comedian who made a lot of
money with his monologues where he substituted sounds for Punctuation!
Victor Borge'

Now my one problem with having a mode like this is, given the number of
different marks and their meaning in different circumstances in different
languages, it could need one heck of a  lot of individual sounds to cover
them all. I do know what you are getting at different sorts of brackets and
colons etc, are main candidates, with underscores being also useful.

Maybe this is add on territory ie a programmers version as most of us prefer
not to hear these greater thans etc all over the place, but obviously such
things are important in programming as are brackets and indents etc.
