Re: Filling out forms
Thanks Freddy, but I'm not interested in capturing the data and editing it like you could using OCR. I can see the form and just want to fill in the blanks and print them. Most image/graphics editors let you place a cursor anywhere on image where you can start typing in text. This text just lays on top of what is already there, so you have to choose the right font size. So I just want to get the bit map image of a rendered PDF file, use an image editor on it, and then print it. Rick Freddy Martinez wrote: I know there is a tool for KDE called Kooka. I'm not sure about GNOME though. You are looking for ORC tools, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition), maybe Synaptic can help you track some down.

The former says it can convert to ppm, which can presumably be edited in something like photoshop.

As someone who is totally Blind and as I presume it is difficult or impossible to get speech to read notifications as regards updating Ubuntu, how often should I run the apt commands to update and upgrade my laptop which is running Edgy until Feisty is released? Do you always do a sudo apt-get update followed by an apt-get dist upgrade even if you may be still on the same version of Ubuntu? -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Re: Team Meeting -- topic BUGS
Hi Henrik and everyone, Unfortunately, I was unable to make the meeting today, but I wonder whether there was any discussion on the topic of the install procedure on the Live CD? Yes, I probably sound like a broken record by now, and I'm sorry to keep harping on this single point, but it it would really make a huge difference both in terms of practical usability, and in terms of first impressions for new users if the installer could be accessible without requiring those esoteric settings in .orbitrc. I know that the implementation of the orbitrc is really a Gnome issue, but I wonder if a workaround could be devised, at least for ubiquity until the larger issue is resolved once and for all? Thanks for any thoughts, --Al -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility

Re: Team Meeting -- topic BUGS
hello all, I have been a passive listener on the accessibility issue so far. I am in the process of setting up the second foss based computer center for the visually handicap people here in India. In one of the states called karala, it has become the government policy to use foss based systems thus gnu/linux has become mandatory in every institution. well as of now we have had much trouble using orca and time and again need to switch back to emacspeak. while emacs and thus emacspeak is a great desktop at the command line it does have steep learning curve and if one has to take complete advantage of all the features in emacspeak they have to take lot of learning trouble which consumes lot of time. and then it is not a good thing to force every one to work on the command line every now and then. any ways coming to the point, I am wondering whether open office related issues have been fixt for the up coming version of orca and ubuntu? the main problems were responsiveness and font/ attribute identification. I had herd from a few people that firefox with firevox plugin worked well with orca but that never happened in my case. one of my colligue did use it but after some days when he updated orca and other little things in ubuntu it stopped working. so what will be the accessibility status of firefox with ubuntu 7.04? I really want to contribute my services to the visually challenged people for accessibility in foss because our government is ready to provide computers to blind students with 90% discount and the only condition is that they will require to use foss based solutions. I have been given the responsibility to see to it that things are working fine in all institutes in my state and that's the reason I am bothering all of you with my questions. thanks and regards.
