RE: What is a KNFB Reader?
Robert, The KNFB reader uses a camera in a phone or other divice to take a picture of a document. Then, it performs optical character recognition (OCR) and reads the content. Its strongest point is that it performs the OCR in such a way that it can start reading very quickly. As Josh says, it can be made to process files as well. It takes some practice to know how far away from a document to hold the camera and to aim, but there are tools to help with that. There are other OCR apps that are cheaper, but all in all, I've been happy with the KNFB Reader. It does take practice, though. My experience has been regardless of how good an app is, different apps sometimes provide the best results so one needs multiple tools at their disposal.

RE: What is a KNFB Reader?
And, in Android land, we have so many apps that work even better than the KNFB Reader for merely pennies on the dollar! I think that in a few years, may be weeks and months, many blind folks in Android land will slowly begin kissing the KNFB Reader goodbye! Heck, there's even one in Android land, though experimental at the moment, that will scan and read handwritten stuff.

RE: Program to reset (if necessary( the Windows screen reader flag.
Bernie, it's my job that ties me much to much to Windows! I own and operate a durable medical equipment & supplies storefront. The apps I need for keeping required government records have not been ported over to Android at the present moment. There's no way I can submit claims for payment in Android or Apple land and I have no idea when those who write apps for the DME industry will ever cross the rubricon. Like you, I don't want Jaws even though I can use the screen reader proficiently. I did not take up the FREE MIGRATION offer from Window-Eyes to the Shark as I don't want to be beaten! I don't have enough blood to share with a shark! I have another business line that I am pursuing. It is that of a coffeeshop and, for this one, it will be all Android bar-non. I have no plans to do anything with Windows10. I'm slowly migrating off XP into Windows7 land, but I think that's where I'll stop. My coffeeshop won't launch for a while yet 'cause I'm trying to get additional funding by way of a loan and the paperwork to be furnished come from more than enough trees to fill a forest. It is heartwarming to know that I'm not the only one flying the Android flag. Today, I did surprise myself: I processed an order on my phone and tablet using a bluetooth keyboard. I had, and stil do in some shape or form, found the Talkback keyboard commands somewhat intimidating. I know the sequence of keyboard commands for both Jaws and Window-Eyes, but the ones for Talkback are not syncing for reasons I can't fathom. I also succeeded in sending a WhatsApp message to a pal across many a thousand ponds. I don't plan on giving up on the mastery of Talkback keyboard keystrokes; I will keep beating on it until it submits to my whims and caprices. Aside from the challenge outlined herein, like you, I am beyond redemption and certainly too far away from the point of any return to the status quo when it comes to walking, working and playing with Android! I am so glad I made the commitment nearly five years ago when an Android toy landed in my wee, small, snugly hands!

Re: What is a KNFB Reader?
Actually I seldom use the field of view report. It was fine when I first got the app. But once I got used to reasonable placement of the phone for the picture I stopped using it. Then again, I'm usually not using it for critical reading where I need the absolute best. In that situation I would use it. So it's not totally necessary. Just my opinion. regards, Tom On 11/22/2017 7:27 PM, Josh Kennedy via Talk wrote: Ok here is how you use knfb reader this is just an example. Imagine you are a student in college.

Re: Program to reset (if necessary( the Windows screen reader flag.
Hi Olusegun, Well, I can understand your point of view, but for me, I think I have now crossed the point of no return. I am so amazed at how good I am finding Talkback on Android. I have had almost no problems with it on my phone. And, unlike the possibility of moving to Jaws, I have found the learning curve to be easily managed. So, while I hope that somehow, for those who might need it, WE can continue to live a bit longer, but unless there are many volunteers to support such an effort, I believe it will be difficult to keep up with the evolving software advances and that is where I think Apple and google have a real advantage.

Re: google home and chrom cast
One thing I can say: you don't turn a modern TV set on or off from its AC plug. They are powered up, in a low-power state, all the time. There are, however, many TV sets that interact with the internet in various ways, including some of them that run Android and its TalkBack screen reader for access to menus, program guides, etc. Good luck in your research.
