Tip of the day: When it comes to #PDF documents, what you see and what is actually there can be two different things. Just because you can read words in the document doesn’t mean it is searchable. Or perhaps you have a searchable #PDF but it’s still not found in a search in #DEVONthink. Here are a few ways to deal with such #PDFs. #macos #paperless #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday devontechnologies.com/blog/202…

For my #blind friends, I'm curious about your experiences with reading #PDFs through #OCR software. Specifically, beyond the use of Envision AI, which tools have you found to be the most accurate and reliable for this purpose? I'm always on the lookout for better alternatives. Feedback on both desktop and mobile platforms would be greatly appreciated, particularly in terms of accuracy of text recognition. accuracy (and obviously usability, but accuracy) are all I care about.
Feel free to boost for reach :)

HTML is the format in my eyes. It can be opened nearly everywhere without having to install anything. It can be styled and printed without losing its semantic and machine readable properties.

I know of 1 exception: Microsoft's browser based collaboration suites. Those just show you the source and won't let you view them or open them in a new window.

Just sharing this article of mine which was just posted today govloop.com/community/blog/pdf…

#PDFs are a real problem for #accessibility. They are also a real challenge for any government working to provide a modern, digital experience for their citizens.

We have to build to alternatives to PDFs.

Agencies still widely use PDFs, but they create accessibility issues for low-vision users and, among others, people on mobile devices.
