Re: Editing PDF's with Voiceover

Yes, that’s probably a similar issue. Whoever creates the PDF file has to turn on tagged PDF (which, one hopes, will also solve these problems) in whatever tool is used to create the PDF file. Some tools don’t support it.The real solution is to distribute in a format other than PDF, such as HTML, alongside the PDF file. From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com  on behalf of Jessica Moss Date: Friday, August 4, 2023 at 18:17To: 'Jim Fettgather' via MacVisionaries Subject: Re: Editing PDF's with VoiceoverOk, so would the same apply to a privacy policy which is supposed to state the following “to fight the funding of terrorists” but the word “fight” looks like “y(umlaut symbol)ght?

Ok, so would the same apply to a privacy policy which is supposed to state the 
following “to fight the funding of terrorists” but the word “fight” looks like 
“y(umlaut symbol)ght?  I can’t figure out how to type the umlaut symbol 
correctly, so that’s why it’s spelled out, but it wasn’t in a privacy policy I 
was sent to audit, and I was like “what?"

This probably isn’t a spelling error in the PDF file at all. The most likely 
cause is that the “fi” ligature is being used in the typeset text, and the PDF 
isn’t properly accessible, so your screen reader isn’t
 Receiving the correct characters, even though both “f” and “I” are present in 
the text as shown on screen or printed.
You could convert the PDF file to text and then edit, I suppose. Editing the 
original PDF wouldn’t help, as it’s most likely correct as is.

Re: Editing PDF's with Voiceover

2023-08-04 Thread Jonathan Cohn

The process of turning an inaccessible PDF document into a document that can be 
reviewed by a screen reader is called tagging.
With tagging you can also indicate if an item is a heading or list item or a 
paragraph.
Depending on how well the OCR does, tagging to that level might be difficult 
for a blind person.
Certainly Adobe Acrobat (which I believe can be obtained for about $5/month) 
can do tagging, but there are also non Adobe product that can do this. 
Obviously the best solution is to start with a word or in-design document and 
then convert it to a PDF. When one does things this way, most of the editors 
styles will get directly converted into the appropriate tag in the PDF
Also, I believe that Pnema solutions has a cloud based service that uses AI to 
better convert scanned text into a usable pdf using AI for spelling corrections 
and detecting font changes that might indicate  headers.

Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn

Editing PDF's with Voiceover

2023-08-03 Thread Jessica Moss

Over the last few months, I’ve been getting PDF’s via e-mail which have mostly 
been news letters from the clients the company I work with audits/remediates 
for accessibility, and I check over them to make sure everything is readable.
  However, some of these I’ve been noticing have been scanned, but not 
proofread, because they are so riddled with spelling errors, which while this 
is technically not considered an accessibility violation, some of them are so 
bad they make the document borderline unreadable if you’re reading it with a 
screen reader.  However, I’m only using Adobe Acrobat Reader, and am wondering 
how doable the process to go through via Voiceover and edit these would be 
before I consider purchasing a license to do this.  Has anyone done this who 
could give me some pointers?

RE: pdf's that are images

Since I don't have voice Dream Reader for Mac at this point, what I do is 
download the file and then airdrop it to my phone.  I then use Voice Dream on 
my phone, and it works out very nicely.

There's a great online service I use called OnlineOCR

it, and this you can pay for a number of pages and just upload your document

Lorie,
perhaps sending the file to the robobraille free convert service will
translate the file into a format you prefer.

their site is
www.robobraille.org
Where a list of file formats is provided.
The email is

Where you place the desired format in the subject line.

There's a great online service I use called OnlineOCR

it, and this you can pay for a number of pages and just upload your document 
and download the result.

mine does that too, saying "image" before it reads the text but that also 
happens in Safari when I'm reading a pdf so I think it must be pictures that

Re: Preview and PDF's

2017-10-29 Thread Tim Kilburn

Hi Anne,

Yes, labelling of fields is often a problem, no matter which PDF app you're 
using.  I use PDFPen Pro a fair amount, but I run into the same issues when the 
forms do not have their labels properly labelled.  I guess it is similar to the 
frustrations we have with unlabelled elements in apps.  Until developers and 
form creators take our needs into consideration, we're going to come up against 
barriers too often.  Quite often the form creators use automated form creation 
like is found in Acrobat Pro and other high end PDF apps, then just leave it at 
that.  They don't appear to take the extra effort required to make them truly 
accessible.

Oh well, I'll get off my soapbox now.  Have a good one.

Later...

Preview and PDF's

2017-10-25 Thread Tim Kilburn

Hi,

In the promotional info about High Sierra, it was mentioned about improvements 
to the Preview app, especially with respect to VO.  One specific item I've just 
notice is that Preview and VO now work together in fillable PDF forms.  The 
editable fields are now accessible and announced by VO when navigating the 
form.  You can either use VO navigation or tab between the fields.  You must 
first be in a field before the tab navigation works, but that's normal 
behaviour.  If the developer of the form is lazy and does not properly label 
the edit fields, it could cause us frustration knowing what field relates to 
what label, but that's also expected.

Try it out some time, if you dare :).

Later...

Reading pdf's on the iPad

Is there a way on the iPad to read pdf documents other than it reading the 
whole thing at once? Maybe line by line if possible.

Re: Reading pdf's on the iPad

2014-01-24 Thread Alex Hall

That depends on the app you use. The iBooks app can handle PDFs, as can the $10 
Voice Dream Reader, mail can also open them if they are attached to a message. 
Sometimes PDFs are made in such a way that they are hard to read, but give 
iBooks a shot and see if that helps.

If you are looking for a way to read by line, you can use the rotor command and 
choose the line command and flick down for each line.

Re: Filling Out PDF's On Mac Or iPhone

Hello Tim,

I tried your method on an editable PDF for the tax authorities here in France. 
Unfortunately, VoiceOver cannot go to the editable fields. I simply can't find 
where they are.

I tried turning cursor tracking off but keyboard focus kept jumping into the 
Edit toolbar.

What View options do you use?

Hi Anne,

I just tested this on an editable pdf created by one of our teachers using 
Acrobat so I may have been hasty in my response.  I'm out of town right now but 
will sit with her next week some time to determine any best practices with 
this, if any.

 First, make sure you have the latest version for mac (ver 1.6.10). download 
 it from dropbox.com and follow the link for getting started. once 
 downloaded, mount the .dmg file by pressing command-o on it. then you can 
 just command-o on the dropbox.app file.
 
 You'll be asked to log into your dropbox account, and from there its just 
 following the prompts. I usually skip the tutorial, but you might want to 
 take it.
 
 Honestly, there's nothing to it! You don't have to do anything with Terminal

The first 2 gigs of space is absolutely free and there are ways people can 
increase that free space by getting referrals and stuff; more info on Dropbox 
site.  You can also buy 100 GB for something like $10 / month.

Re: program to read pdf's well on the mac?

2013-01-08 Thread Jessica Moss

How in the world do you get dropbox to run on the mac?  I installed and 
launched it, and always end up getting some message telling me dropbox has no 
windows.
  I found something somewhere that has this long list of instructions on how to 
make it accessible with voiceover, that I can't even remember, but remember it 
had something to do with going into the terminal, which I'm not familiar with, 
but managed to follow the steps it provided, only to still have it not work.  
Can someone please help out with this?

Re: program to read pdf's well on the mac?

2013-01-08 Thread Steve Holmes

I installed Dropbox quite some time ago so don't remember specifics. I think it 
started out something funky but somewhere in the initial run, you need to be 
able to set up your account and login stuff.  Once that is done, just go into 
Menu Extras and VO over to the Dropbox menu and press VO-Space to open that 
menu up.  Also, it should create a folder called Dropbox in your $HOME 
directory.

Re: program to read pdf's well on the mac?

2013-01-08 Thread Phil Halton

its the simplest thing in the world. I just installed it on my fresh 
reinstall of Mountain Lion.


First, make sure you have the latest version for mac (ver 1.6.10). download 
it from dropbox.com and follow the link for getting started. once 
downloaded, mount the .dmg file by pressing command-o on it. then you can 
just command-o on the dropbox.app file.


You'll be asked to log into your dropbox account, and from there its just 
following the prompts. I usually skip the tutorial, but you might want to 
take it.


Honestly, there's nothing to it! You don't have to do anything with Terminal 
or any other gymnastics to get it installed.


Once installed, it places a dropbox folder in your home directory, and a 
menu item in the Extras menu (VO + m twice).

Hi, to read a pdf on a Mac you could also use Quicklook. Then you can at least 
hear the contents. Just press Space on a pdf file and let VO read. 
Unfortunately it's not possible to navigate propperly but it's better then 
nothing.

 folder within the Dropbox folder on the computer and then fire up the
 Dropbox app on your iPhone and access the file.  It will give you the
 choice to put it into iBook or possibly other apps you may have on
 your device that are compatible with these files.

Re: program to read pdf's well on the mac?

2013-01-06 Thread Eugenia Firth

Hi there. 
I just tested PDFpen Pro with the iPhone User Guide. You can use it to read 
straight through a PDF file like I just did. It is supposed to be a great 
editing program, if you're sighted, of course. 

We have discussed this issue before on this list. I have kept PDFpen Pro on my 
computer with the hope that sooner or later they will decide they are tired of 
hearing from VoiceOver users that can't work their program. I really need one 
myself, although not bad enough to put Windows on here. 

We may have to wait for Apple to figure it out for them. After all, it work in 
Windows, albeit sometimes slowly with large files. I invite you to come and 
join some of the rest of us in trying to get a good editor/reader for VoiceOver 
users. 

Yesterday, I was wishing good ol Adobe had made their app for the Mac work with 
VoiceOver. My bank sends you to Adobe Reader if you want to view your 
previously filed tax forms. If you do it using VoiceOver, the screen might as 
well be blank. I had to get a reader because this web site is bearly accessible 
anyway, and I got tired of dealing with it. 

Regards,
Gigi, who had a very bad blind accessibility day yesterday

Re: program to read pdf's well on the mac?

2013-01-06 Thread Eugenia Firth

Absolutely the iPhone is definitely the best PDF reader around far as I'm 
concerned. It's even better than Windows computers for doing that. You just 
love the things and iBooks and go. I have several PDF files in iBooks. I have 
files like restaurant menus that I got off the web.
There is PDFpen for the iPhone, but it's inaccessible.

To get a PDF into iBooks on my iPhone, I open the PDF in iTunes where it goes

I use preview.
some pdf's are very accessible. other may just be jpeg's saved in pdf format. 
with those you will need an OCR program to break the text out into usable form.
