Re: [JAWS-Users] OCR on text in photos

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Eric,

That is awesome. Did you think on adding connection to neural networks to 
describe graphic content with no alt text similarly to which Windows 10 
Narrator offers in Microsoft Edge?

Thanks in advance.

I already had that one on the list of things to get done this year. Hopefully 
we auto detect when text appears inside graphics and can then let you know when 
the virtual cursor is passing over a graphic with text and give you the 
opportunity to have it read.

When is VFO going to make available the ability to read text on photos, 
such as the ones in Facebook? That would be very nice and helpful.

Re: [JAWS-Users] OCR on text in photos

[Fernando Gregoire]

Yes, FS could add something similar as the feature on Windows 10 Narrator. At 
least when used in Microsoft Edge, Windows 10 Narrator can send a picture with 
no meaningful alternative text to Microsoft in order to get the description 
(and perhaps text) based on a neural network, that is, artificial intelligence.
Facebook already gives general descriptions of many common photo scenes, but it 
is still unable to make OCR. By the way, the only it can tell you is “Picture 
may cointain: text.”

Currently, the best way to make JAWS to OCR over a photo is to download it and 
use the Recognize with JAWS option in the file's context menu.

HI Judy.

Ah, no. qRead is for reading exclusively and you cannot edit pdf files using
this programme.

If the files are text and not images that you need to OCR, your best bet is
to use Adobe Acrobat or Reader, I think. PDF forms do, I think, need some
kind of adjustment from the developer of these forms in order to be
accessible. I'm not too clear on what that is. I do know that most of the
forms at my old work and also government-type forms work ok. I haven't had a
lot of experience with this, honestly.

As for file associations and such
In Windows 10, use the search box and type "default". Or, you can find it
inside "system settings". Here you can choose what programme opens each type
of file that your OS recognises. Or most of them, at least.

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro on this computer, so I don't know if it's quite the
same -- but I saw this in Reader as well. There is a checkbox in preferences
-- in mine it is under "internet" in the tree view. The box is labeled "open
PDF in browser" or something like that. I would uncheck this box, if it's
checked.

Do you have Adobe reader? There is an option there to set which prevents pdf
files from opening in a browser. Last I checked, even though Windows
"prefers" if you set all associations within itself, this still plays nicely
with Windows 10. Also go to your default file associations and check to see
what you have said for .pdf files.

I personally use a programme called qRead to open text pdf files most of the
time, now. It's really fast and doesn't take an age to deal with long
documents that I just want to read.

Hello,

 

I think I may have posted this awhile back, but I have received attachments
that, by default, want to open in Edge; I want them to open in my default

Internet Explorer set as my default browser, yet the pdf attachment wants to

The only work-around I have found is to save the attachment and open it that

Yeah, Windows 10 wants you to set all these things yourself it seems. It
doesn't always work properly when programmes (like Winamp for instance) try
to do it for you.

You should still uncheck the box in Adobe though, I think.

When is VFO going to make available the ability to read text on photos, 
such as the ones in Facebook? That would be very nice and helpful.

Perhaps you should ask them?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Attachments that open in Edge.

[Judy Jones]

Can you fill out paperwork using that, since this is what I am needing to
do?  

I can also try to print with Freedom Import Printer, and could have a
fillable document, I just did that the other day.

Also, remind me where I would go to find the file associations I need to
check.

Thanks loads.

Judy

Do you have Adobe reader? There is an option there to set which prevents pdf
files from opening in a browser. Last I checked, even though Windows
"prefers" if you set all associations within itself, this still plays nicely
with Windows 10. Also go to your default file associations and check to see
what you have said for .pdf files.

I personally use a programme called qRead to open text pdf files most of the
time, now. It's really fast and doesn't take an age to deal with long
documents that I just want to read.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Attachments that open in Edge.

Hello,

 

I think I may have posted this awhile back, but I have received attachments
that, by default, want to open in Edge; I want them to open in my default
browser.  Is there a way of preventing Edge from taking over?  I have
Internet Explorer set as my default browser, yet the pdf attachment wants to
open in Edge.

 

The only work-around I have found is to save the attachment and open it that
way.

 

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

 

Judy

Re: [JAWS-Users] OCR on text in photos

[JM Casey]

It can sometimes. But the results are variable. I suspect most of these photos 
are of too low quality to really decipher text. Usually I get some garbage 
characters, at least, whereas a person's eyes and brain are more able to make 
them out.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Mysterious folder appeared

Yes, all that makes sense; figured it was something like that.

Hi people,

Feedback Hub is a Microsoft application which members of the Windows Insider 
Program (and perhaps regular users, although they're not the intended audience) 
use to send suggestions and problem reports to Microsoft. Unlike when we choose 
to add or upvote (something similar as Facebook's Like) a suggestion, when we 
add or upvote a problem report, Microsoft logs and sends system diagnostic 
information related to the specific category and sub-category of the report. If 
before sending a report you check the checkbox to keep a local copy of these 
logged diagnostic data, resulting files will be in the Feedback Hub folder 
inside Documents.
By default this checkbox is unchecked, so that data is deleted just after the 
report was sent and you'll find the folder is empty.
If you aren't interested in reviewing your logs related to a problem report, 
you can delete contents of this folder with no errors. If the diagnostics 
infrastructure ever need to collect data to send to Microsoft, folder will be 
created again automatically.

Hope I was clearly enough about what this folder is for.

Hello,

 

I recently noticed there is a new folder in my documents that I did not create. 
 This folder has the name of "feedback hub".  Does anybody know what this is or 
why it would show up all of a sudden? .. Using Jaws 18, Windows
10 & MS Word 2016.
