Any option to invoke OCR tool from a keyboard only without mouse

As surprising as it may sound, I could not find any option to run from keyboard a command to start OCR (Optical character recognition) operation for the current document.
Many (actually the most) in operations commands Adobe Acrobat Professional XI can be run with a keyboard hotkey (shortcut) and/or via main menu accelerator keys, say, as a command "Create PDF from file" with a hotkey Ctrl+N or keyboard accelerators Alt+F -> R -> F.
So if you your mouse fails to work or you can not use a mouse due to some accessibility issues, you can however run the most commands using the keyboard only.
But I could not find any way to start OCR recogniizing operation using keyboard only, neverthless how long serie of key pressing you are ready to fulfill. Well, you can use accelerators Alt+V(iew) -> T(ools) -> T(ext Recognition) in order to open Tools sidebar at the left edge of the window - and than?.. Seems, that there is no option to get a focus to this vertical toolbar without mouse.
As I can not use my mouse just now, it is a real headache for me Is there any solution?
Thanks in advance!

@ CtDave
I'm afraid, that you have missed the most important part of my clarification. Your advice will not help, if somebody (not necessarily you, but rather the previous owner of the document) has already recognized it - but only in some part. Say, the command/hotkey Ctrl+A will not help, if the document has only 1 recognized page from 100 pages, what is a quite probable situation.
Ctrl+A will not help too, if the document is already recognized, but with wrong charset and/or output style and/or resolution - and you need to re-OCR it with correct settings.
I do not see, how your additional explanations of which OCR settings are correct, could help in such situation.
So Ctrl+A (Select all) command is a workaround for some very restricted situations.
To have a consistent OCR workflow simply set the PDF Output Style to Searchable Image (Exact).
Usually I prefer the option [Searchable Image]. Do you think, that [Exact] is generally better?
There is no user configuration/choice of 'charset' consequently this is not a viable concern.
Hm... Have you ever put attention to the dialog Recognize Text, including the very 1st line in the [Settings] field, that is [Primary OCR Language]. And the the button [Edit...] with the proper language settings as well (please look at my screenshot here: http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/9172/k56.gif
As one can suggest, when you select the primary OCR language, it also involves the charset too, because, say, English, French and China languages charsets are quite different.

  • My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? Can I sync my ipod to a new computer if I allow all the songs to be erased?

    My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? The ipod works fine and now i got a new computer. So it seems like my only options are leaving my ipod in a state where i cant add anymore songs or erasing all my songs and trying to use my ipod from my new computer. Can someone please inform me on how to have my ipod work from a different computer, even if i have to erase my songs. Thanks.

    Yes, if you choose the Erase and Sync option (or restore your iPod) you will be allowed to sync your iPod with the new computer.
    If you would like to save the content that's currently on your iPod, see this older thread from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to copy the content on an iPod back to your PC.

  • HT1390 Why don't I see any option to rent films in iTunes? I only see the option to purchase

    Why don't I see any option to rent films in iTunes? I only see the option to purchase

    Yeah I agree, especially when some movies cost a whopping $20!! Kinda ridddiculous. Hopefully Apple or the film producers will realize they can still make a profit - if not more - if they just let us rent! Ahh!
    Thanks again Jules and Happy New Year to u!!

  • Any information of the migration tool from RSP?

    Adobe has promissed a tool for converting the setting in RSP to as close as possible look in LR. This would be an excellent start to my migration to LR.
    Any info on how this tool is going to work?
    Will it be availble next week together with LR v1.0?

    @Lee Jay
    > You're expecting a lot given what you/we paid for this tool, or the program for which it is used (LR).
    But that's not the point. It doesn't matter how much lightroom costs.
    We have not asked adobe to buy pixmantec what lead to the discontinuation of RSP. The conversion-tool along with the free LR license was obviously promised to keep the RSP community calm.
    > I've had very, very expensive software (>$40,000) delayed by more than a year from original planned release date.
    Well - that's bad project management as well. Let me assure you, I'm resposible for it-projects much larger than what you mentioned. And high on the list of my goals is not to annoy my customers. This goes along with transparent planning and sticking to promises, schedules and budget. And if - for what reason ever - I have to postpone a milestone transparent information politics is most important and is the only way thay might lead to understanding on the customer side.
    But maybe that's just me.

  • Is there any option to select Desktop Software from various versions ?

    Hi,
    I am using blackberry curve 9300 for more than one year. To manage my phone I downloaded and working with desktop software 5.x for my purpose. I am using Windows XP SP2 for my PC and it's working fine for all of my purposes.
    One week ago, I took a step forward to get PlayBook (OS 2.0). So, I planned to manage both the phone & playbook with desktop manager. Now, the latest PC software version 6.1.x is available (only available) on blackberry site to download. And after downloading I came to know that it is for Win XP SP3 or later OS versions.
    I searched a lot and even talked to my local shop from where I bought the Playbook to provide me some compatible software ( may be 6.0.x which is OK with SP2), but he doesn't seems has much idea about that.
    I am working on this combination of OS for long and it's working fine for all my development and other works. Changing the OS will be the last option in any case. It will cause a lot of changes and loss of great amount of data and time.
    Can you please suggest some way out ?May be I can download compatible older version of desktop software from some link.

    You can try to search blackberrys download database for a database on the older versions of blackberry software, if they have removed it now im sure there are Some websites about try Google.

  • Any option to access Exchange 2003 from OS X Lion?

    Besides installing VMWare Fusion and running Outlook 2002 inside a VM (i.e., feel the pain), is there any native e-mail client on OS X 10.7 that can access an Exchange 2003 server ?  I get the feeling that I'm stuck with this only one option.  Apple Mail requires Exchange 2007 SP1 or later.
    Thanks.
    Chris

    I know that every OS has a limit as to which Safari version can be installed, but before reinstalling Lion I was running Safari 6.x and I know I never upgraded to Mountain Lion, which means that Safari 6+ actually can be run on Lion.
    Although it's definitely possible that Apple has changed that recently, so don't hold me to it.

  • Is there any option to degrade Nokia belle from C6...

    can anyone help me to downgrade nokia belle from C6-01 as many software is not supporting with it. am not able to use FRING after i upgrade to Nokia belle plsss help somebody to rectify the issue

    As a rule you are not permitted to downgrade software. However you can try your nearest Nokia care centre and try to give them sufficiently strong reason. They MAY agree to downgrade. Decision is solely dependent on them.
    And yes, please dont fall prey to the tricks available on internet.

  • Is there any way to erase all files from a broken macbook without switching it on??

    My macbook air died when I stupidly spilled nail polish remover over the keyboard- this was actually about two years ago and for various reasons I've only just gotten round to figuring out the best way to dispose of it. The problem is that it no longer switches on at all (and doesn't charge either), so I have no way of erasing my files and personal information and I'm just not comfortable recycling it knowing there could still be stuff stored on there. Does anyone know of a way to wipe the memory without switching it on, or have any suggestions for what I can do with it otherwise?

    1. Click here and follow the instructions; if you have a different MacBook Air model, see the links at the bottom of that page.
    2. Put it in an enclosure(any large enough computer store should have them) and erase it, or just keep the drive.

  • Do I have to previously open a pdf to launch the batch OCR tool?

    In Acrobat X, I could launch the batch recognize text tool as a wizard from the basic menu you have when opening Acrobat without any file open. Now with XI, I first have to open whatever PDF then go to tools and choose recognize then more than one file. This is uncomfortable, I would much prefer to launch wizard and batch processing tool from the standard interfaces, without the need to open a PDF first. Am I wrong or missing something? Is there any workaround? Thank you.

  • Invoke Java library from C/C++

    Hello everyone,
    Are there any approaches to invoke Java libraries from C/C++?
    Thanks in advance,
    George

    I only know we can use JNI to invoke native libraries
    from Java and I have never used JNI to invoke Java
    libraries from native applications (C/C++ programs).
    I am going to look through the tutorial you
    recommended.The last tutorial. I've only fiddled with it, as it was a bitch. If you don't need to use Suns JVM, I recomend using CNI & GCJ [ http://gcc.gnu.org/java/ ], as it is much neater.
    Do you mean JNI is internally implemented by C++s
    Runtime.exec method?Write a small Java application which invokes the lib you want, i.e. say you want to use Strings replaceAll method (simple example I know)
    class Test {
    pubilc static void main( String args[] ) {
      System.out.println( args[0].replaceAll( args[1], args[2] ) ) ;
    }Then use c++ program to run "/path/to/java Test tast a e" .

  • Is there any way to retrieve my pictures from my lost phone if photostream was not on?

    I recently lost my iphone and I cannot find it using find my iphone because it says it is offline.  I had the "icloud backup" set to on, but I had photostream set to off.  Is there any way to retrieve my pictures from my lost phone without photostream being on?  The description of icloud backup says that it automatically backs up your camera roll so I'm praying there is a way. Help please =(

    Your iCloud backup includes your camera roll photos and videos by default (unless you excluded it from the backup in settings).  To recover them, you would need to restore the backup to a replacement iPhone (or iPod touch) as explained here: iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud.  (You couldn't recover them by restoring the backup to an iPad, however.)
    Be aware that Apple will delete iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so you'll want to do this before this expires.

  • I when try to remove windows 7 from Macbookpro 13, I dont see any option such as Create or remove a windows partition on bootcamp assistant.

    My Mac Book Pro 13 inch late 2010. I tried to remove windows7 partition by using boot camp assistant. But I couldn't see any options for create or revome when I opened the bootcamp.  So finally i deleted by using disk utility function.
    This time I don't know how to make repartition.

    should perhaps have waited? yes.
    So now you can't or find out why and are left with repair the drive in Disk Utility from OS X DVD, or even restore (and wipe drive) if you cannot stretch and expand the HFS back to full drive.
    Clone the Mac partition - Disk Utility - Restore tab both was with erase
    Target <=> Destination
    You should of course have a backup even if TimeMachine, but something you can restore the system... because things do happen.

    I can not save any data to external hard drive from my mac pro. Is there anyone can help me in this regard?( note, when i first plug my ext. drive to mac i chose option to backup later)

    The device may be formatted for Windows, as NTFS. The format is readable, but not natively writable on a Mac. To write to the device, you must either reformat it (erasing all the contents) or install third-party software to enable write access to NTFS.

  • Are there any tools from NI can generate the pass-through layer (IVI class driver) for IVI class specific driver?

    IVI class driver (layer) will provide interchangeable feature for a IVI class specific driver. It would work as a pass-through layer and finally make calls to the IVI class specific driver. Since there could be a lot of functions to be passed through. Are there any tools from NI (Labwindows/CVI or Labview) can do this ?
    Thanks a lot. 
    BTW: the IVI class specific driver interface is generated from Labwindows/CVI tools.

    Hi Chris,
    Yes, I did.  To support interchangability, from my understanding of the IVI specs, there should be another layer IVI-C class driver on top of this IVI class specific driver. As in the IVI‑3.1: Driver Architecture Specification:
    Although IVI‑C class drivers export inherent,
    base, and extension capabilities, they do not actually implement them. Except
    for a few inherent functions and attributes defined exclusively for class
    drivers, class driver functions and attributes provide a pass‑through layer to
    the IVI‑C specific driver. An IVI‑C specific driver is responsible for
    implementing the operations of functions and attributes and for communicating
    with the instrument. The IVI‑C specific instrument driver contains the
    information for controlling the instrument, including the command strings,
    parsing code, and valid ranges of each instrument setting"
    So where is this IVI-C class driver and how is it created and communicate with my class specific driver?
    Thanks a lot.
    Cheers,
    IVI‑3.1: Driver Architecture Specification
