Re: NVDA and OCR add-on
Brandon Cross <bcross3286@...>
Hi, you should do the following:
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
1. Maximize the window to give the OCR engine the best chance of capturing the text 2. Use Object Nav to focus on the area where the text should be 3. Press NVDA Shift R to perform the OCR 4. use numpad 7 and 9 to read up and down lines respectively This is not an ideal way to read PDF's. If the document has not been marked up accessibly, I am not sure what to tell you, in these cases, I have had little success. I see this more of a tool to read a screen, or part of a screen that is not accessible, or, for retrieving text in an image. There are other software solutions out there for converting PDF's into complete documents with OCR performed on them.

Hi,
I have just installed the OCR add-on in NVDA 2016.1 on Windows 10. I tried to read an image PDF file without success. How can I find full instructions on how to use this add-on?

Hi Nutt,

Great idea and efforts. If there is sufficient interest in an NVDACon for Thailand, do go ahead with that idea, and in case that doesn't quite work out and an Asian one seems more promising, please feel free to write to me offlist about collaborating on a current research study we are conducting. Thanks.

Re: NVDA GENERAL,
Jacob Kruger
With some versions of windows, it's possible to change the keyboard language on the fly, which can then mess up interaction via screen readers, but, that would, again, not really be necessarily affected by the keyboard hardware, or connection method - the driver sort of handles the connection, and then just presents the keyboard to the operating system as a keyboard - most of the time, but anyway.

Another reason don't really like wireless keyboards myself is that both bluetooth, and wireless keyboards have, in the past given me hassles relating to interference from other devices, etc. around me - at times just wifi network providers, and, a few times, when something like a cellphone received an SMS, or an MMS, the wireless keyboard might have started typing multiple characters - that should be unlikely to happen with a decent, sort of shielded wireless keyboard, but, still...<smile> Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA "Resistance is futile, acceptance is versatile"

I don't know about specific keyboards. While
I haven't seen much discussion about this, I seem to recall seeing discussions
in the past about this or that wireless keyboard where certain commands didn't
work with NVDA, evidently because the keyboard sent incompatible codes.
Can you experiment with a keyboard directly connected?

Re: voices again
Another difference between the Codefactory and Tifflatechnia versions is that with Codefactory, if you want to use it on a portable copy, you have to activate it on every single PCs you want to use, and deactivate it afterwords, whereas with Tifflatechnia version, you only need to activate your USB/portable drive and it will work. I've tested this on computers in my college and Tifflatechnia version worked very well, without reactivation.

NVDA Con
Hi, First, I would like to say thank you very much to everyone who helped organize the NVDA Con 2016. Though I was unable to participate in all sessions due to classes and other matters, I still enjoy participating nonetheless, in all sessions that I was able to participate in. NVDA Con, in my opinion, is not just a chance for NVDA users and developers to meet, but it is also an opportunity to get to know each other amongst NVDA users from around the world. To be honest, right after the conference, or rather during the conference, I have an idea in mind. If NVDA Con International was able to be successfully organized, I should be able to try to organize a NVDA Con Thailand, or even better, NVDA Con Asean. But I'll most likely start with NVDA Con Thailand. The first step, of course, is to conduct a feasibility study, mainly finding out how many NVDA users are there in Thailand. If the study reveals that there are enough NVDA users in Thailand to make a NVDA Con worthwhile, then comes the big part, planning and organizing the conference itself. As it is mainly for Thailand, there is a choice between physical venues and Teamtalk, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Perhaps even a NVDA workshop for Thais who are not familiar with NVDA is possible as one of the programs in the conference, if a feasibility study reveals that it is worthwhile organizing.
