Re: Spell check in Word 2016
Nate Kile
Hello,
About 3 months ago, I had to completely remove/restore my Mac book pro because it would not return to the Mac OS. It would not even show that there was a Mac side, I had to remove everything and restore it to a single partition and now I will only run Mac OS on a Mac product. My Boot camp days are over. Just my personal experience though, and I read about others having the same issue.

Hello,
I use the alt/shift/L for spot checking documents, but on all of the computers in our computer lab, once in the spell checker dialog with F7, Insert/F7 will still announce the misspelled word that is targeted for correction still.

Re: images in book
ely.r@...
Kevin, When someone looked at the images, were they part of the diagram or were they captions below the image. If part of the interior of an image like a diagram, the original OCR engine may not have recognize them from lines or other details of the image. What is the source of the eBook, and is it a DAISY structured book? Rick

Kevin, If the images are diagrams or photos there may be nothing there for an OCR program to convert to text.

Hello, I’m using windows10, jaws 2018 and Vital Source to read a technical book which there are many figures that are images. Jaws is unable to read the images. I copyed the image and put into a word file. I then put the cursor on the file name and used Jaws OCR. It wasn’t able to read anything. Should I try some other method? I should say Vital Source is an application where books can be placed. There are options to put book marks, notes and other options. Cheers, Kevin

Re: images in book
Kevin Meyers <kevinmeyers@...>
The figure in a picture format does have text. You said I should OCR it before putting it into a document. The book is in electronic format. How would I be able to OCR a figure? Is it possible to put the cursor on the line where the figure exists and then activate the Jaws OCR? I know I could do that from outside a document.

OCR the image *before* putting it in a document. Then copy and paste the resulting text. Maybe that.

Hi. I don’t think JAWS oCR will work on word files like that. You might have to take each of those images you copied and do the oCR process on them individually, as has been suggested. Alternatively, a different piece of software might do the job better. Something like Abbyy Finereader perhaps, but I don’t know as I still haven’t bought the programme.

CSS HTML Validator
Richard Turner
Is anyone else using CSS HTML Validator? I used it with Window-Eyes very successfully, but I cannot even get Jaws to read anything at all without someone sighted touching the mousepad. If I activate the touch cursor, I can read one line, but that is it.
If anyone knows of any scripts, that would be great! Richard
