Phone OCR for computer monitors
by David Mehler 30 Sep '13

Hello, I'm looking for a phone based solution, preferably free or low cost, that'll do OCR on a computer screen? My issue would be to use it to obtain information on boot up errors, selecting items in a boot list, for example newer boards the f12 options? Thanks. Dave.

Windows 7 Ultimate question
by Christian 29 Sep '13

29 Sep '13

Hi all, Don't know if this is the right list, but maybe someone on here is able to help. I am currently running Windows 7 Professional wich works fine, except that I need to use the speech recognition feature. However, since Windows 7 Pro is in Swedish I am not able to change language to English wich the speech recognition is using. This is really frustrating. So my question is, has anyone seen a good price on Ultimate or knows if one can order an Ultimate product key from somewhere? I can get around this if I use Windows 8 wich I purchased earlier on a discount, but i don't like the interface. Any help is really apreciated many thanks! Christian

What are folks using for various SQL tools under Win7? How is MySQL on Windows resources--memory, CPU, etc., and what accessible query and database-management software is out there?

Has anybody out here used Discoverer to draw reports from an Oracle database? I know that Oracle, as a rule, isn't very accessible and I am wondering if this product is. I am using the latest JFW. Thx, Jeff

Citrix.
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 25 Sep '13

Good afternoon, I'm connecting to a client site at the moment and they use Citrix. I've got access to their web portal and I've selected the server... or what I thought was the server. Once this worked, I am presented with a really strange dialogue. The window title is remote desktop remote 256 bit ssl / tls. I'm aware thanks to some messing around with OCR on my phone that I'm presented with a list of servers but no screen reader will interact with this. I'm slightly stumped. I have to get access to the server that needs to be worked on but I cannot under any sercomstnaces choose the wrong server. Have any of you experience with using Citrix? Is it normal that screen readers just won't interact with this dialogue?

How to use GRMl or similar to crack Windows log-on password?
by Barry Toner 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Hi folks, We have a PC that has just been handed back into us from a site in work. Of course the tech who set the machine up is no longer with us and we've went through our standard IT dept passwords but can't' get onto the admin account he setup. Can anyone advise on either A how to get into the Windows Admin account or B what I need to do to use GRML or something similar, (without sighted assistance), to crack the password? Thanks, Barry.
