AI Squared has updated a bunch of Window-eyes apps, with many new
features added to Virtual View. This app is similar to the virtualize
window function found in JAWS where you can take any window and place it
in the virtual buffer, making for easier reading. AI Squared updated
Virtual View to version 5.0 with a bunch of new features which probably
should go into a separate app. Here's their announcement.
Virtual View 5.0 now supports exciting new features such as the ability
to OCR images from files or the screen, plus virtualizing various
document formats, including PDF files. Here are some other features:
• You can open an image in any format (jpg, bmp, png, tiff,
etc.).
• If you press Alt-Print Screen to capture the active
window, Virtual View will automatically OCR it for you.
• The Virtual View options dialog lets you control image
manipulation to increase OCR success.
• Supports UAC, allowing you to get contents (specifically
UIA) from windows that are elevated.
· Images inside PDF files are prepended with [BEGIN
IMAGE] and appended with [END IMAGE].
• You can choose several different kinds of file formats to
virtualize, including:
· Txt
· Html
· Xml
· Zip
· And if you have Office installed:
§ Docx
§ Xlsx
§ Pptx
Imagine a Word document filled with text boxes and word art. That
information will show up as plain text when passed through Virtual View.
Spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations are the same way. If you want
to quickly skim a PowerPoint presentation without opening PowerPoint,
use Virtual View.
With zip files, Virtual View can open the zip file and get the text of
all text files. At the very least, you can get a list of the files in
the archive.
