Greetings all,
On the tech update this weekend:
1. July 10 through July 26, 2017 KNFB Reader for Windows 10 is
available at 80% off the regular price. Now is your chance to get KNFB
Reader for your Windows 10 desktop or mobile device at this incredible
low price of 19.99 dollars.
KNFB Reader for Windows 10 is the world's best solution for enabling
blind and low-vision individuals to quickly and easily access the
content of printed materials anywhere, anytime. It takes a photo of
any text and instantly reads it aloud. It’s as easy as “point, shoot,
and read.”
KNFB Reader’s patented image processing technology makes it easy to
photograph even the most complex documents - such as bills, brochures,
books, or magazines
-using the best optical character recognition (OCR) technology
available. The text is read aloud using any one of Microsoft’s built
in voices or can be displayed in Braille with a compatible screen
reader and refreshable Braille display. KNFB Reader's proprietary
audio and vibration guidance help the user take the perfect image of a
document so that processing is fast and accurate.
The award-winning KNFB Reader technology that is helping blind,
low-vision, dyslexic, and other print-disabled users around the world
to live the lives they want is now available on the Microsoft store
for Windows 10!
For the best scanning results, external scanning hardware is highly
recommended. This may include:
- A 5 mega-pixel (minimum) or 8 mega-pixel (recommended) document
camera, preferably with auto-focus and a built-in lamp.
- A standard Windows 10 compatible flat-bed document scanner (WDM drivers)
- A well-lit space with good or bright lighting.
What’s more, you can use this application to convert all kinds of pdf
material in to text or word documents.
I have personally purchased the app and so far I would highly recommend it.
2. CAPTCHA Be Gone
Often times when signing up for a website, downloading a program, or
otherwise using the web you will come across a form which will ask you
to "Fill in the numbers and letters you see above." These sequences of
numbers and letters, designed to keep out computer programs, are
called captchas. CAPTCHAs are extremely important for a safe, secure
internet. However, to the detriment of the visually impaired, many
screen readers cannot detect them
What about Audio CAPTCHAs
Audio CAPTCHAs, available on some sites, are often deliberately
garbled, prone to skipping, and otherwise difficult to access. They
are designed to be difficult to solve to prevent computers and other
programs from doing precisely that. Furthermore, visual and audio
CAPTCHAs also serve as a barrier for individuals who are deaf as well
as blind. Braille displays and other technology enable these
individuals to use their computers, but currently, they must depend on
third parties to facilitate solving CAPTCHAs. CAPTCHA Be Gone does not
rely on the user to be able to see, hear, or even locate the CAPTCHA
on the page, making it more usable for individuals of varying ability.
Finally, only a limited number of sites offer alternative captchas as
a solution. Many offer only the standard, inaccessible, visual
CAPTCHA.
Enter CAPTCHA Be Gone
CAPTCHA Be Gone solves this problem by securely detecting captchas on
webpages, solving them, and copying the result to the user's clipboard
in a matter
of seconds with the press of a single keystroke. It is not even
necessary for the user to know the precise location of the captcha. No
data, other than the captcha, is sent out, so the user's personal
information, websites, and other identifying data is secure.
I understand the software has a monthely subscription of 3.5 dollars.
I hope this information is helpful.
Regards.
Wilson Macharia.
