I don't see how a name change ties into accessibility in any way, but it's possible I missed something because your formatting was so broken up. But, anyway, below are alternatives for opening PDF files.

1. Opening them in Microsoft word. Word 2016 or later will convert most PDF's into a workable state, where you can then save it in an alternative format.
2. Use this program. Codex.
3. Adobe Reader can convert PDF to text. It's not gonna look very clean, though.

Hi,


you still can get Finereader 15 Standard or corporate.

I would look at text cloner from premier literacy, hope I spelled that correctly.
I know of two blind people using it with great success and it is completely accessible and about $129.00 if I am not mistaken.
Hope this helps,
Rich

Hi all.

Well, looks like fine reader just had a name change since I have gotten it.

It seems to be called fine reader 15 pdf now.

Since support and abbyy don't seem to deem it important to fix the accessibility issues and since it all seems locked to business now I think it is time for me to cut my losses and upgrade.

The last version was released at the end of the year.

What ocr program should I use instead of abbyy fine reader.

Hi is it possible to switch sound cards with a shortcut key using NVDA
I use a wireless headset  and a USB mixer

Hi, is Google OCR  free? Or do you have to pay for it? I will look it up.
But I’m lazy! Lol.

Hello

I'm not sure the subject line accurately describes my issue, but it seems
like there are webpages today that have content that automatically
refreshes and changes. \unitone \left( \r2\mathbb{\usepckage{times 9 it
appears to be used for advertising or promoting a website's publications.
NVDA }}i\aght) automatically reads this content, and it often interrupts my
reading of the articles themselves. Here is an example of a webpage:
https://www.lovefood.com/recipes/60477/denis-cotters-black-bean-soup-with-chocolate-and-chillies

As I tried to read the recipe, the screenreader is also reading some sort
of a flash object that is promoting other articles. Is there a way to stop
this? It seems like either I should be able to stop the screenreader from
announcing this, or I should be able to stop Google Chrome from displaying
it. I have used ad blockers in the past, but it seems like many webpages
now will not allow you to access their resources if you are using an ad
blocker, so I wonder if there is some other tool that I could use.
