Re: Managing the cognitive load of listening

Soronel, I'm intrigued by your use of the dictionary. Do you use it the usual way to replace words with phonetic ones or have you come up with clever uses? Do you remove or replace phrases? Do you

There is a website called ocr.space that you can use on the fly.

Re: OCR software

Unfortunately I don't know of anything else. At one time Nuance's Omni Page was considered on of the best OCR programs available, but lately I've been hearing that the quality of their OCR engine has

Hello everyone! Do you know any reliable OCR software for Windows apart from ABBYY Fine Reader and Jaws OCR? Thanks Christina

Re: Managing the cognitive load of listening

I agree, I don't do most of that and I've been a JAWS user since the early 90s. I use to add a lot of words to the dictionary. I had a job that used a large amount of abbreviations that drove me nuts.

Re: Managing the cognitive load of listening

Wow! It sounds like you spend more time putting words into dictionaries, creating voice profiles, and adjusting the settings than you do actually using JAWS. I think that maybe you are way over

Re: Managing the cognitive load of listening

Everyone is different. I have been using JAWS for nine years and other than adding maybe three dozen words that Eloquence mispronounces to the default dictionary and adjusting how Eloquence speaks as

Re: Managing the cognitive load of listening

I am very comfortable with Eloquence, I have been using it for about 20 years. I have tried other voices but always come back to Eloquence.

Re: Managing the cognitive load of listening

That's a great list you make; all of what you raise makes the use of the program itself faster and easier to use -- and many of the points you raise sadly get overlooked. Personally, I don't find

Re: Managing the cognitive load of listening

Soronel, I'm guessing Mark was exhibiting a little humor when he closed with control key. As you know, that's the key that shuts JAWS up! Mark, I think you raise an interesting subject. It's clear

Re: Managing the cognitive load of listening

Soronel it sounds as if, with all those dictionaries, you spend as much time doing that as actually using JAWS. If I were new at this -- I've been using screen readers for nearly 4 decades --

By Mike Pietruk · #100580 ·

Re: Managing the cognitive load of listening

Mark This is really a very personal question; and it's not so much a JAWS question; but one using a screen reader in general. I take it that you are new at this; and the best suggestion I can make

Re: Managing the cognitive load of listening

I have verbosity set to intermediate but the main thing I do is dictionaries. My default dictionary has close to the 500 entry limit and I have a couple per-application dictionaries that are also

Managing the cognitive load of listening

What are some of the ways people manage the cognitive load that comes from listening to JAWS? Any advice from the pros or long-time users? Here are a few that come to mind: Change verbosity levels,

Re: OT, Accessible TV Recommendations

I'm interested to know why you'd need the Apple TV if the Fire TV sounds pretty accessible? Thanks. Claudia

Re: OT, Accessible TV Recommendations

Hi, you can also get Android TV's, or Google TV, as the newer models are called. Models running Android include TCL, Samsui, Philips, Sony, and I think some later Hisense offerings. The way to

Also, there is Blind-T: This list is called Blind-T in the spirit of the lists Blind-X and Blind-L. The T in Blind-T is for Technology, which means screenreaders and anything else technology related
