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.

Regards,

Hi everyone, I’m coming in to this a bit late, but here’s my findings.

Spell Check is unreliable in MS-Word 2016 via the F7 method. For some reason I have not seen the described behavior on PC’s running the 365 version of MS-Word.
I’ve advised that clients learn the alt shift L method as a backup anyway, but this has been a problem for at least a year.

I’ve spoken to Vispero, and they say it’s a Microsoft problem, and Microsoft says it’s a Jaws issue.

Not sure what is different in 365’s version that has this problem fixed.

Can anyone confirm?

Alt F7 takes you to each misspelled word. Issue with this method is
that it opens the context menu with suggested changes in it. That
often works, but you have to press Escape once or twice to get out and
read the word in context if it's not obvious what word it is. I think
this is a Word Command, not a JAWS one, so it probably works well for
sighted users who can see the misspelled word and are ready to see the list of suggestions.

The reason it works differently in Word from Outlook is that Outlook
still uses the old dialog box interface, whereas Word has gone to a
ride side pane display for spell check.

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

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?

If the images are diagrams or photos there may be nothing there for an OCR program to convert to text. Not knowing what the technical manual may cover, the images could be true handwriting meaning not a common script font. The case there would be the same. Wish I had better news or advice.

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?

Subject: images in book

 

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

Hi Tom,
Check your screen echo.  If your screen echo accidentally got set to all, return it to
highlighted with the Insert+s, keystroke.
Take care.  Go Rams!

Happy to report: Just went there and tried it--successfully! All our complaints must have had a good effect! Everything is as it should be now. I had visions of never being able to use FB again...

Hmm.
If you are looking for a specific post, I believe they show up normally according to the last comment, chronologically. So in reverse order, but not necessarily in order of posting, if that makes sense.
If you keep clicking "see more", you should eventually find it.
Not the most efficient way to handle important stuff, certainly.

I did that, but once in the group, I couldn't find where I needed to be at all!
I was able to do so earlier.

Guys....
Try typing in the name of your group in the search field.
It should come up that way.

Yea, I noticed that too. None of my groups show up on the mobile site; just suggested groups.
I'm taking three courses using Facebook, and cannot find anything I need anymore. Yesterday morning, it worked fine. Now it's a total mess. How can we report this to Facebook?

really you guys use the actual site? I always found it to be very not

site.

Hey guys,

So, question. I'm assuming a lot of you use the facebook mobile
site.
I'm seeing a huge problem, and wondering if it's site related or
something else. When i go to the mobile site, and click on
groups, none of the groups i am part of show up. All i see is
suggested groups. I'm part of probably 15 to 20 facebook groups
on various topics, but none of them show up. Any ideas?

I only had one image in the word document. I had the text before the image and even after it. It couldn’t read anything. Should I put the images in some other type of document?

Perhaps try recognizing one image at a time?

 

Not heard of the program.

Kevin,

If the images are diagrams or photos there may be nothing there for an OCR program to convert to text. Not knowing what the technical manual may cover, the images could be true handwriting meaning not a common script font. The case there would be the same. Wish I had better news or advice.

Hi just some suggestions.  I have KNFB Reader on desktop and also on IPhone.

If you have IPhone maybe SeeingAI?

Or maybe Openbook?

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

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
