Hi Russ: No problem, glad I could be of help.
I've got another project I'd like to do with Mame. I'm hoping to do a little with the roms for the TI 99/4A and it occurs to me that Virtual View should be able to read the screen of the TI if I have problems. Not a perfect solution, but, it's certainly already proving useful in some unusual situations. Thanks Window-Eyes team! -----Original Message----- From: Rod Hutton [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, September 5, 2016 5:37 PM To: 'Joseph Norton' <[email protected]>; 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Virtual View usefulness Hi Joseph, I just wanted to thank you for this wonderful description and suggestion. Last night, when I was using VMWare Workstation, and I chose to Shut down and install updates on one of my Windows 7 virtual machines, the process was taking a long time and I thought something was seriously wrong. Then I remembered your email in the densely-packed archive of my brain's memory banks, and thought, ah, yes, I'll press Control-Alt-V and take a picture of the virtual machine window. Sure enough, the OCR of the window revealed that it was installing a large number of updates for Office which I had recently installed. So, my friend, I just wanted to say a heartfelt thanks to you for writing up your experience. It did not go amiss, although, I think I'm the first who ansered you. Smile Thanks again, Rod Hutton -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joseph Norton via Talk Sent: Sunday, August 28, 2016 11:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Virtual View usefulness Hi listers: Just a message to describe one use I found for the Virtual View app. I like to tinker with different configurations, but, don't want to re-install Windows or the like just to try something different. So, I decided to use virtual machines instead. I use VMWare Workstation Player to install the OS, since there is an easy-install option to take much of the work of installing out of the prodcess. However, this wasn't an option for Windows 10, at least, not yet. This meant I had to basically boot up the machine as if I were installing a new Operating System on it. Since this is difficult without sighted assistance, I had avoided it. Suddenly, it hit me. Virtual View can do an OCR of the screen! So, I booted up, using the iso of Windows 10 created from the Media Creation Tool. The system went into Windows setup, and started asking me the questions needed for installation. Most of this can be done simply by pressing Enter, with a few exceptions. The Virtual View app was able to ocr the setup screens, and, from previous experience, and, a little guesswork, I was able to successfully install Windows 10, up to the point where Narrator could take over. Great job on the Virtual View app!
