Now, you only need to have a feature for us to fill in the OCR'ed image,
in cases when we receive a form in a PDF format, for instance. Too many
public services over here, now aday, demands you fill in PDF formatted
forms, which then have to either be printed or returned electronically.
If now we could have filled in the OCR version of such forms, and have
them returned/printed in their original layout, we would all be equated
with the sighted.
Still, a great step forward, and hopefully it will help many users.
Unfortunately, I have already seen a good handful of my PDF files, which
opens well in both Adobe and QRead, being refused by the VirtualView
app. You might want to know, why I even would bother, since the text
does show up in the other readers. Well, because the readers mess up the
columns and other layouts of the documents, so I hoped the OCR would
treat the documents somehow better. But no luck. It does not treat them
at all. Sent a couple of sample documents to Aaron directly, so
hopefully something can be done about it. Maybe just some kind of
settings that need be tweaked.

Yes, you can use Virtual View to recognize image-laden PDFs, though
your success will also depend on the quality of the images and whether
the file is restricted from being accessed with screen readers. It
should also work in older versions of Window-Eyes. Note we no longer
support XP and have not tested the OCR component there. I expect that
aspect of Virtual View will most likely fail, but you're free to give
it a try.

Does this replace the need to run PDF files that arrive as graphic
files through something like a virtual printer such as that found in
products like the k1000, or Openbook? Also, does it work with
earlier versions of Window-
Eyes such as 8.4?
P.S. you might want to get out your airsick bags. I still am using
Windows XP.

Hi All,
Maybe this will help.
As you know window eyes has free apps that you can install and run
with we.
They do all kinds of things like help get access to many windows
programs,
help access all kinds of things etc.
Example: You can check the weather, you can get better access to
outlook the
Microsoft email program and more.
Well, virtual view another free wineyes app has been upgraded with
some of
the most useful features you could imagine.
So, use the free app called app get and either get or update your
virtual
view app.
Then try out the new features Aaron and others are mentioning below.
Example: I just pressed ctrl-alt-v and launched the virtual view app.
I then was able to tab through the apps settings/features.
I cut and pasted a pdf file in to the Virtual View window and wow it
did OCR
on the file and I could read just the text.
This is way cool, check it out and rely on your friends / users on
this list
to learn more and get answers.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Sam

Very well put. I agree 100 percent as a guy who knows very little
about
this whole thing.

Hi Aaron,
Yes virtual view sounds like a very good tool.
But I'd like to point out that computer programmers, software
writers and
general computer geeks or nerds, always write with a lot of assumed
knowledge. They just assume all folks know what they know. And of
course we don't.
Case in point is your email. You mentioned virtual view. But didn't
say
what is it, where do we get it, and what is the cost if any. You just
assumed.
So please could geeks and nerds and others, realise that many of us
aren't
buried head first in to a computer all day and every day. It's
just a
tool
we use, to live our lives.
This comment can be applied to 99 per cent of geeks and nerds. So
please could the we squared staff, remember to write from the users's
point of view when communicating?
Just a friendly tip.
All the best,
Ross.

Subject: Introducing Virtual View 5.0
Virtual View 5.0 now supports exciting new features such as the
ability
to OCR images from files or the screen, plus virtualizing various
document formats, including PDF files. Here are some other features:
* You can open an image in any format (jpg, bmp, png,
tiff,
etc.).
* If you press Alt-Print Screen to capture the active
window,
Virtual View will automatically OCR it for you.
* The Virtual View options dialog lets you control image
manipulation to increase OCR success.
* Supports UAC, allowing you to get contents
(specifically UIA)
from windows that are elevated.
* Images inside PDF files are prepended with
[BEGIN
IMAGE] and appended with [END IMAGE].
* You can choose several different kinds of file
formats to
virtualize, including:
* Txt
* Html
* Xml
* Zip
* And if you have Office installed:
? Docx
? Xlsx
? Pptx
Imagine a Word document filled with text boxes and word art. That
information will show up as plain text when passed through Virtual
View.
Spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations are the same way. If you
want
to quickly skim a PowerPoint presentation without opening PowerPoint,
use Virtual View.
With zip files, Virtual View can open the zip file and get the text of
all text files. At the very least, you can get a list of the files in
the archive.
