Seeing AI for NVDA, Windows 10 or both?
|
Kwork
As the Seeing AI app for the iPhone is a Microsoft product, I wonder if there is an equivalent, either as an NVDA add-on, or through using the Windows 10 operating system somehow, either through a store app or something built-in that NVDA or narrator can access, to describe photos. I've had almost no success using the NVDA+r command to OCR the current screen to do so, so wondered if there were more advanced options available as the iPhone app works reasonably well for what it is.
Thanks. Travis |

I recently released something similar to what you're talking about, it's called "Image describer" and is an NVDA add-on. The shortcut to get a description for an image is NVDA+Control+I. The add-on can be downloaded at http://www.screenreader.ai/

Microsoft isn't even porting Seeing AI to Android... I don't think they'll want to make it available for Windows, but I hope I'm wrong... Ciao, Ollie Il 15/03/2019 04:23, Kwork ha scritto:

Agreed, though I hope we both are going wrong on this one! It would be wonderful to have something like Seeing AI on
Windows. Em 15/03/2019 05:32, Mallard escreveu:

When asked they always say they will release it on other platforms, but I suspect its quite low down the pecking order. The whole project is in fact a way to get feedback on their AI system as far as I can tell, and as such I'd have thought putting it on other platforms might help them tweak the thing. Maybe they have had other priorities like making sure Windows 10 does not brick 1 in 10 machines every half year... grin.

Yeah, what a breakthrough if you succeed in creating a new capcha solving add on.

Okay, the only problem right now is, how will we know when there are updates to the addon? Joseph Lee on the Windows 10 group for screen reader users has made an addon updater that you could use, but how you can get in touch with him for that I'm not sure. Devin Prater sent from Gmail.

Will always make all updates, on the www.screenreader.ai website, otherwise I could make some sort of mailing list if people want. I could also include some message saying there's a newer version in the image descriptions :)

Hi Oliver, The Image Describer is what really got me thinking. So far, it'll quickly describe what's available in the photos I've tried, but instead of reading the text, it just says "text." Thanks for your work on this so far, and for any enhancements you are able to do as time/resources permit. Travis On 3/14/2019 11:42 PM, Oliver Edholm

Oliver, The option of including a message on the add-on itself informing of a new version is a good idea indeed. However, have you ever thought of doing kind of a newsletter, as you have other project in the works? So the newsletter would inform the folks interested on your
add-ons, at once, every time one or more of them would be with an
update. Em 15/03/2019 15:20, Oliver Edholm

Hi, I’ve used your addon, its good. But, if it read text in the picture, it will be more useful, and one thing more, add your addon in the addon updater, and on the official nvda addons website. It will be beneficial for everyone

This is very promising addons to be use with. Just like to ask since we are talking about image is this possible to read as well some of the capture image that is commonly used to embed in site.primarily this is majority of us and having to solve but, at least give us easy way to solve rather than hearing theaudio instead. Thanks. On 3/16/2019 5:55 AM, Kevin Cussick via Groups.Io wrote: I tried this addon and think it is very good thanks for your work. |
