Dear Group
I recently downloaded the OCR add-on and tried to use it on a PDF file. It works well, but it only selects one letter when I press NVDA+F9 and it only copies one letter at a time. How does one select the whole document when the OCR is complete?
Could you also, perhaps, send me a list of shortcuts for the OCR or a place where I can find them.
Please note that I use the newest Adobe Reader.
Thank you in advance.
Regards
Heaven Botma

hi, it is a difficult way to do that, it is better to get a version of abbyy finereader. that programm can do that for you in the most easy way. a right click on the pdf you want to make it readable and make the choice for abbyy finereader. there you can make the choice to create a readable pdf. no difference if it is a smal or a big pdf. that is the way i do it. cheers paul otter

Dear Group
Is there perhaps a free OCR programme that I can download. Abby Fine Reader is too expensive for me to buy and the trial version only allows for 100 pages. My document is 240 pages. The NVDA OCR add on only does one page at a time which is time consuming.
Regards
Heaven

PDF2TXT, from empowerment zone: http://www.empowermentzone.com/p2tsetup.exeIt has both normal text mode, and image mode which then processes each scanned page using OCR. Takes a bit of time, and depending on quality of scanned images, output quality can vary, but, free, and simple.

Thanks-it was very useful and great tool to use with. But, in my case some of my pdf files we're protected and conversion was failed because it has this security or password was created. Typically the conversion is could only done with the regular pdf file only. So, poor to me :(

You can enter password in pdf2txt, or remove password protection first.
However, yes, it's not top of the line OCR, but, have been using it for a few years already, while occasionally, might use some online services for certain files.
Stay well
