Re: orc appsThe thing I hate about convenient OCR is that if you’re not using their camera you can only scan one page into a document. I usually end up using the OCR that came with my scanner. I’ve thought about breaking down and buying Abbyy Finereader.

Re: orc apps
Richard Turner <richardturner42@...>
Yes, right now, Voice Dream Scanner is the best iPhone scanning app in my opinion.
But, with the Jaws Convenient OCR, You do have to keep launching the scan to add pages, unless your flatbed scanner has an automatic document feeder. I do not have the Pearl camera, it may be able to do more than one page without having to launch the scan each time with insert+space, o, then a, then alt+q or tab to acquire and hit spacebar.

Re: Sharing temporary dictionary files
Udo Egner-Walter
Hi Mark,
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
Dictionary files are stored in your settings folder with the name of the application (and extension .jdf) or in case of all applications with the name "default.jdf". If your technical conference is based on an offline application/desktop application you can only overwrite existing application JDF files or since the JDF files are text based writing a script to add the entries at the end of this text file. If your technical conference is based on an internet site used in a browser you can use domain-specific files. If you want to create a dictionary file, let's say for a website called "www.my-site.com" you can do this: - Open your site in the browser - Press JAWS+D to open Dictionary Manager. If there's no dictionary file created for your browser, JAWS will ask you to make a new one. - If the Dictionary Manager app is on the screen go to file menu and open it. - There's an entry for making a domain-specific Dictionary Manger file (I don't know the exact name since I'm not using an English version of JAWS) The entries you make within this file are stored in "www.my-site.com.jdf". You can copy this file from your Settings Folder and mail it to other persons if you like. Every time they will visit your site (www.my-site.com) JAWS will load this file and unload it if you are going to another URL. Hope this helps Udo

Actually, you can just keep scanning and it will keep adding pages. I don't know what the limit is, but I've definitely scanned more than one.

Sharing temporary dictionary files
Mark
There was a bit of a discussion about dictionary files earlier and here's another scenario. Imagine you are hosting an event, like a technical conference, and would like to share a JAWS dictionary file that contains entries that are unique to the conference's online experience. In some cases, there could be a lot of entries, especially if a conference web platform uses lots of specialized terms. Rather than expect guests to manually add those entries, you'd like to share a dictionary file called "my conference.jdf". Guest could load it at the start of the conference, and then when it's done, unload the file. Anyone have experience in this sort of thing?

Re: question about importing with Gmail
Sieghard Weitzel <sieghard@...>
Hmm, I'm definitely glad that back around 2008 or 2009 when I switched from my ISP's email (POP at that time) I decided to go with what then was Hotmail and what is now Outlook.com. Setting up an Outlook.com account (basically Exchange) syncs everything, mail, contacts, calendar etc.) and I just find it more convenient and always liked it better than Gmail.

By the way, the Win10 People App does now support direct syncing with Google Contacts, but those account connections must be set up independently of their "sister" email accounts in the Mail App unless something's changed recently.

It's not unlike how Windows 10 separates mail (Mail App), contacts (People App), and Calendar. Setting up IMAP email in the Mail App doesn't create any connection to contacts related to the same account. I wrote a tutorial quite a while back about how to export contacts from the original source, import into Outlook.com, then get those over to the Win10 People App. These utilities, like most, did not just spring up, unbidden, but to address an unaddressed need. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042 To think is to differ. |
