Hello Listers,

I haven't experimented with the feature yet, but I have noticed that, in
the latest version of Kurzweil 1000, version 12, there is an option via
the applications menu to, having selected a relevant document in a
directory, convert image document using Kurzweil.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] program and help needed for converting image
PDFto OCR file

Hello Joanne,

 

If when you open the PDF in the Adobe Reader you hear alert: empty
document announced then the file is likely an image of a printed page
that
has been scanned.  I found that a small freeware program called
FreeOCR
can usually do quite a good job on this kind of file.  If you have
Kurzweil,
OpenBook, OmniPage or another commercial OCR program then you should be
able
to run OCR on the file and get the desired results.  Here is a link to
FreeOCR if you want to download it.  After the link are some steps to
follow
when using the program for a scanned image file. 

 

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3951772/freeocr.exe

 

1.Install FreeOCR by pressing enter key or double-clicking on the
downloaded file.

2.Follow prompts to install the software.  An icon will be created
on
the desktop.

3.You might want to restart your system when installation is
complete,
although the program doesn't tell you that a restart is required.

4.Press enter key or double-click the FreeOCR icon on the desktop
to
start the program.

5.Use Alt+F to bring up the file menu, use down arrow to the load
PDF
choice and press enter key.

6.Browse to the PDF file to be used and open it.

7.Press alt+O to go into the OCR menu and press enter key on the
start
OCR process choice.

8.Use tab key to move into the edit area that tells you that focus
is in
page 1.

9.After waiting some time for processing to finish use Alt+T to go
into
the text menu, use down arrow to the copy text to clipboard choice and
press enter key.

10.  Open up your word processing program and paste the text.  

11.  The top few lines will be text from the FreeOCR program so you can
select it and delete it.  The main text of the document should start
right
after the text you are going to delete.

12.  An alternative to copying the text to the clipboard is to use the
save
text choice in the text menu of FreeOCR after processing the image
file.  A
dialog box will appear for you to name the file and save it where you
want
it.  You can then open the file in Notepad from where it is stored.

I have had success using programs to change the PDF to TIF files and
then
using the Microsoft Document Writer to extract the text into a document,
but
this program actually gave me better results and worked faster.

 

If you have the Microsoft Document Image Writer installed you can do the
following:

 

1.   Open the PDF file in the Adobe Reader and you will hear alert:
empty
document.

2.  Press CTRL+P to go into the print dialog box.

3.  Use tab key to the list of printers and then use up or down arrow
keys
to find the Microsoft Document Image Writer choice and press enter
key.

4.  A SaveAs box will appear with .TIF shown in the file types list.
Name
the file and save it as a TIF file.

5.  Open all programs from the start menu, open the Microsoft office
group,
open the Office tools, and use down arrow to the choice for Microsoft
office
Document Imaging.  Press enter on that choice.   

6.  Press alt+T to go into the tools menu and press enter key on the
recognize text using OCR choice.

7.  A dialog box will appear where you can tell the program to recognize
all
pages.  Use tab key to the OK button and press enter key.

8.  Wait for processing to finish.

9.  Press Alt+T again and use down arrow to the send text to Word
choice
and press enter key.

10.Use tab a couple of times and find out what the default location for
the
document will be and then tab to OK and press enter key.

11.Wait for the file to open in Microsoft Word.

Although using the Microsoft Document Image Writer has worked for me, I
have
had better output using the FreeOCR program.  It is also easier to use
and
you only need to use the one program.

 

Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] USB BROAD BAND STICK A.K.A. AIR CARD

2010-05-03 Thread Josh

Susie,
Yes it is an internet stick. Alot of the cellular companies around here 
refer to them as the air card. A friend of mine who is sighted had hers 
through another company and also said that there is a connect button screen 
before entering the internet on hers as well. Mine was through the widely 
known A T  T and hers was through Cricket. I spoke with technical support 
and the disability office at A T  T and got no resolution just a bill for 
the first thirty days of not being able to use my air card. I sent a message 
to my friend and she retyped it to her companies tech support and we never 
did recieve a response. Should you get an air card to try and see that it is 
not going to work ask them to see which amount is lower your usage cost or 
the monthly fee. that is one good thing about ATT they allowed me to only 
pay for usage which I thought was fair instead of the monthly contract fee. 
Unless these companies have changed their connect button at the beginning 
of your internet session JAWS is not going to read the connect button. 
Another thing someone should be aware of is they advertise sixty dollars a 
month however my first bill was around one hundred and fifteen dollars until 
I got it adjusted for just the usage.

[JAWS-Users] MP3 splitter?

2010-05-03 Thread Mobeen Iqbal

Hi All.

I'm looking for a program that will convert a long MP3 file, say 8 hours 
in to manageable segments. Would goldwave do this? I want something 
ideally that will detect pauses and split based on when a pause occurs 
so for example if i'm converting it in to half hour sections and there's 
a pause after 30 minutes and 3 seconds, it'll split where the pause is 
and not in the middle of a word. does anything like this exist and 
that's accessible? I don't mind using the jaws curser.


Best,

Mo.

Re: [JAWS-Users] program and help needed for converting image PDFtoOCR file

2010-05-03 Thread Baracco, Andrew W
if you have either Open Book or K1000, they both have a virtual printer.
With the document on screen, go into the Print menu and in the list of
available printers, you should see which ever virtual printer you have.
Select it and hit the print button just like you would when you
ordinarily print a document.  The program will perform OCR on the
document, just like it would if you scanned a printed page.  Your
results may vary and you may get gibberish, or you may get enough
recognition to at least get the gist of what the document contains.  I
believe that later versions of K1000 will  perform this OCR without
having to use the KESI virtual printer.

JoAnne,

I'm not entirely clear on your issue but think it is similar
to the issue I face when I get my gas  electric bill via
PDF attachment. The only way I know to convert a PDF image
or picture that actually contains text is to print it out on
your printer and then scan the printed version back into
your computer  which will use your OCR program. In my case
it is OmniPage version 15. I know this is a pain but that is
the way I have found to get around it when needed. Maybe
others have something more creative?

Some of my very important documents have been sent to me

thought the PDF to OCR would be perfect, but when extracted
it shows a list of 8 things and I have no idea what any of
these items does.  There isn't a help file, and there
doesn't seem to be menus for conversion or places where you
can select a PDF file and folder to browse, etc.  I don't
even see it in programs in start menu or on desktop.  It
simply unzips unrecognizable folders but I don't feel it's
completely installed.

If someone has a solution for this or even another easier
program so Jaws can read these image files, please let me
know.

Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MP3 splitter?

2010-05-03 Thread Darrin Porter
Mo,

This could easily and quickly be done with GoldWave.  Goldwave will either 
automatically split the file into segments whose lengths you specify 
(regardless of what's happening at the split point) or you can manually go in 
and drop que points where you want the file split.  This is pretty quick and 
easy since you can jump to any part of the file quickly.  For example, if you 
wanted the file split up into roughly thirty minute segments, you could simply 
jumt to, say, 29 minutes and thirty seconds and start listening, dropping your 
que point during a pause or quiet part of the file.  Then repeate at 59:30, 
1:29:30, etc.

I did this for a two and a half hour lecture series I recorded and managed to 
get the entire lecture split into approximately 5 minute segments in somewhat 
less than an hour.  Another nice feature of GoldWave is that you can name your 
que points and tell the program to split the file at the que points and use the 
que point names as the split file names.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MP3 splitter?

2010-05-03 Thread Blackwell, Clifford
You might consider mp3 Direct Cut.  It has the advantage of not converting 
between .wav and .mp3 and works on the file in the native mp3 format.

I believe you can get it on the Jaws-users.com page and even a tutorial.

Hi All.

I'm looking for a program that will convert a long MP3 file, say 8 hours 
in to manageable segments. Would goldwave do this? I want something 
ideally that will detect pauses and split based on when a pause occurs 
so for example if i'm converting it in to half hour sections and there's 
a pause after 30 minutes and 3 seconds, it'll split where the pause is 
and not in the middle of a word. does anything like this exist and 
that's accessible? I don't mind using the jaws curser.

Another possible option is AudioBookCutter.  I have downloaded it but have 
not tried it yet.  Someone on the Victor Reader Stream mailing list 
recommended it to automatically detect breaks in speech near the lengths you 
specify and make the splice there.

No.  If you simply use the automatic splitter, it will create X number of files 
of the exact length you specify and one smaller file containing the remainder.  
To the best of my knowledge, there is no silence detection feature.  But, as I 
said, doing it manually is as simple as listening for a moment of silence and 
pressing ctrl-Q to drop a Que point.

Yes, you can do that with Goldwave.  There are also specific programs for 
splitting mp3's, but if you are proficient in Goldwave, just use your time 
filemarkers and make separte files out of the segments.

Yeah, too bad they don't try to squash more bugs or rework the Jaws core.

There is getting to be too many features; too many bugs that pop up from 
time to time and the program is getting more unwieldy.  They really need to

Re: [JAWS-Users] MP3 splitter?

2010-05-03 Thread Steve
Yeah, there is a silence detection feature.  The problem is whether you can 
set it to not have too many different tracks created.


I'm not sure I have the latest version of Goldwav, but I suspect the 
following procedure still works in versions beyond my 5.52.


1.  Open the mp3 file you want to split.

2.  Press alt-e for the edit menu, and then you arrow to the cue points 
submenu.


3.  On the edit cue points submenu, select AutoCue.

4.  This will bring up a multi-tab control.  There are two tabs, one is mark 
silences and the other is spacing.  I can't get Jaws to move there by the 
traditional method, so if you are on the spacing tab, you'd need to use the 
Jaws cursor and left-click the mark silences tab.


5.  Now, with the proper tab in focus, you can set the noise threshhold and 
length of silence.   The threshhold default is -40DB that is minus 40DB.  If 
you have a file with a bit more background noise, then you may need to 
increase the value to -30DB or so.


6.  Set the length of the silence for what you need.  If you for example had 
recorded a record album, you might have 3 seconds between songs.  Other 
files you may have shorter silences.  You may need to experiment with this 
setting.  If you get too many cue points, you may need to lower the 
threshhold or increase the length of the silent period.


7.  When you hit auto-cue, it will generate the cue points in that file.  It 
will then list them.


If you are satisfied, you can go back into the cue points submenu and hit 
the Split File button.  If you need to change the settings because the 
results weren't satisfactory, remember to hit the option to delete all your 
existing cue points first, because AutoCue will preserve already-existing 
cue points normally.

in to manageable segments. Would goldwave do this? I want something
ideally that will detect pauses and split based on when a pause occurs

Hello there;

if you have both skypeskype talking activated,
try the following,

1, in the skype window, look for 1 new event link, if you find such thing
using the tab key, enter on it, then? you need to allow the skype talking to
access skype.

however, if you don't see this using the tab key, you may have to have
someone mouse click on, the skype talking plug-in, right under neath there
should be a, skype talking.exe link,
once you allow your program, then, you will receive the different prompts
using the skype talking program,
hope this helps.

Yeah, it looks like it.  If you were still in Digest  Mode, you'd get a 
message that listed the digest number.

So, it looks like you made it to the normal side.
And you did it without Oby Wan Canobi.

[JAWS-Users] reMP3 splitter?

2010-05-03 Thread James Flusche
Hi Steve and the rest of the list.

I recently purchaced the digitle jukebox from Marvel soft for less then $50.00.

I use it mainly for listening to radio and podcasts.

However there is a mp3 splitter function on it, I have not tried it yet but I 
am sure it's not that hard to do.

Does anyone else out there use the digitel jukebox, if so do you turn their 
voices off and use Jaws with it like I do?

Thanks for all the good information.

[JAWS-Users] pdf to word

Re: [JAWS-Users] pdf to word

2010-05-03 Thread Melissa Riley
I have and do use several programs to accomplish this on a regular basis.
First, Open Book will do this; Simply use the Freedom Impport Printer which
sends the document to Open Book.  I generally use the Exact View, which
preserves layout and imagery.  Then you can use the Launchables menu to
export the file to word.  
The latest version of Adobe adds export functionality as well, whenever I am
in a Word file, in the file menu, there is an option to Export file
to...offering both .docx and TXT file types.
Finally, I have used Nuance OmniPage.  It is expensive, and the interface
isn't accessible, but the functions it inserts into the context and file
menus allow you to convert any file type to almost any other file type,
again preserving imagery and layout.
I hope at least one of these options helps you.
Warmly,
Melissa

Hi Kimsan;

What I do is with the PDF file open, go to the file menu with Alt + F, arrow 
down to  save as text , press enter, then I copy the  .txt  file, and 
paste it into a Word document.  Hope this helps.  Take care and get going on
