Re: Question/Will NVDA Ever Have a Digits/Full Numbers Toggle?
I tried a good while ago, to get the NVDA
developers to make reversion to object navigation occur when the user changed
from the program he is in to another window. It was not done and I'm not
sure the need for it was properly understood.
That's one reason I
continue to use an old version of NVDA where reversion from flat review is
automatic. Screen review is not proper to be left on. It makes read
current line and other review functions not necessarily track where you actually
are and, of course, that is how it should work. It's a screen review
feature. But it is going to cause confusion because most people won't know
why their screen review commands suchh as read current line, don't work properly
and sometimes they do.
Maybe you will have more luck than I did if you
wish to pursue this.

Hi Gene,
If you should accidentally have review cursor set to screen review, you will
have to change the review cursor to object review. This happens to me a lot when
I move rapidly from program to program or window to window. Then when I go
back to a document or web page and I want to stop and spell something, I have to
make sure I am in object review.

Re: Question/Will NVDA Ever Have a Digits/Full Numbers Toggle?
There should already be a form of a way to handle this if you
really want to. Just add the numbers as digits dictionary entry
under a specific voice, and, switch between it and another voice
without the dictionary entry to alternate.
In other words, if you don't include the numbers as digits
dictionary entry under the default dictionary, but, only under a
specific voice, then this could work?

One of the things I'm having trouble understanding here is the
context or contexts for the OCR processing being discussed:
- At the time of scanning an actual print document on a flatbed
or feeder scanner.
- In an existing document, such as an image scanned PDF or an
actual image itself that is known to be an image of a page of
text.
- "On the fly" in something that's an image being presented in,
say, a web browser that one would like to have read.
Virtually any relatively recent, and by that I do not mean new,
scanner or multi-function machine will come with an OCR engine as
part of its manufacturers software suite. Canon, HP, Kodak,
and other multi-function machines I've worked with were all able to
scan with OCR as part of the scan and, as it happened, their scanner
control software was also accessible by screen reader. I've
been using Canon's multi-functions for years now, and even the
cheapest one (read: cost about $30 ten years ago) had a software
suite included with it that featured OCR as an integral part of
scanning if one identified what one was scanning as a document.
I've repeatedly mentioned that Tracker Software makes two
excellent free pieces of software that, while not 100% accessible,
are 100% accessible for doing OCR processing on image PDFs with a
remarkable level of accuracy and that also feature free language
packs if you're not scanning documents in English. See either
PDF-XChange Viewer or PDF-XChange Editor.
The "on the fly" instance is one where I don't know of anything
off the top of my head.

Hello, It does! It tells you your ip address and your provider. For example Concast. Or whatever you use. Hello,

Just read the information after the link labeled "Again" after the test is done. It starts with the name and location of the server used to do the testing (the end point) - they are links. After that is the name of your internet service provider and after that - your IP address. Then there is some sort of rating information. After that are the results of your internet speed test.

Re: Question/Will NVDA Ever Have a Digits/Full Numbers Toggle?
You don't have to highlight anything. If you
move the application cursor to a number and you are using object for review, the
review will be where the application cursor is. If it is at the
beginning or anywhere in a number, pressing f5 twice will cause the number to be
read as digits. If you are anywhere in a word, the word will
be spelled. If you move the numpad review independently of the
application cursor with review commands, then anything you move to will be
read with numpad 5 such as a word, again spelled, or a number, read as

I've repeatedly mentioned that Tracker Software makes two
excellent free pieces of software that, while not 100%
accessible, are 100% accessible for doing OCR processing on
image PDFs with a remarkable level of accuracy and that also
feature free language packs if you're not scanning documents
in English. See either PDF-XChange Viewer or PDF-XChange Editor.
The "on the fly" instance is one where I don't know of
anything off the top of my head.

Re: Question/Will NVDA Ever Have a Digits/Full Numbers Toggle?
Hi Group,
In essence--at least with editors such as Notepad MS Word and probably a lot more, if you use the numpad in the proper review mode and highlight a large number and press the numpad 5 key twice, NVDA will read the number by individual digit.
As far as the read all or read to end feature, I guess it's up to the developers.

There is a member of this forum who has worked on this feature and might be able to explain what's going on (it isn't me).

Hi. I'm wondering if NVDA will ever possess a toggle to switch from the speaking of full numbers to single digits.

One of the things I'm having trouble understanding here is
the context or contexts for the OCR processing being
discussed:
- At the time of scanning an actual print document on a
flatbed or feeder scanner.
- In an existing document, such as an image scanned PDF or
an actual image itself that is known to be an image of a
page of text.
- "On the fly" in something that's an image being presented
in, say, a web browser that one would like to have read.
Virtually any relatively recent, and by that I do not mean
new, scanner or multi-function machine will come with an OCR
engine as part of its manufacturers software suite. Canon,
HP, Kodak, and other multi-function machines I've worked with
were all able to scan with OCR as part of the scan and, as it
happened, their scanner control software was also accessible
by screen reader. I've been using Canon's multi-functions for
years now, and even the cheapest one (read: cost about $30 ten
years ago) had a software suite included with it that featured
OCR as an integral part of scanning if one identified what one
was scanning as a document.

Hi, So many under development at this time. There is a major showstopper in latest Windows 10 preview builds that prevents certain features from working as advertised in newer Windows 10 builds. Cheers, Joseph

Hi
not all units come with the OCR part built into the software
My last scanner a HP did not have that function.
The unit before had the OCR softwre built into it, but none of it was accessible by a screen reader. It was a cannon.
When you do look at a new unit sometimes it says it on the box or you might have to see if it comes with the software.
