Christina,
Here is the link to the NVDA OCR addon:
http://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/ocr.en.html
I have just installed it on my own PC and it installs automatically if you
press the link on the web page.
Try it and see if it works! Let us know how you get on.
Meanwhile, I will happily do the conversion now, if you wish, so that you can
get on with your course.
All the best,
Cearbhall

Subject: [vip_students] image PDF's which won't convert to Word
Hi allo,
I'm doing a college course at the moment, and we have to do a project, but all
the material I've got to read through is in image-only PDF files.
I've tried everything - I converted it using RoboBraille but it won't open,
then I converted it to a word document, and it just says 'graphic' all the way
down - so it obviously didn't get any text from it.
I'm using NVDA, so dn't think there's an OCR feature like there is in JAWS. I
read somewhere that Adobe Acrobat has an OCR feature, but I can't find it in
the latest version.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I get around this? I'm in a very small
colege, so there's no disability service support, and we're sort of figuring it
out as we go along.
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks as always,
Christina
