nao-2022.1.2

• nao-document file format save and load capability.
• A documents cache can store the recognitions to speedup next time opening. If a file is found in the cache it is not recognized again but the cached version is opened instead (recognitions parameters must match).
• Store the last reading position of a document in the cache metadata.
• Auto purge for documents cache.
• Manual cache clear in tools menu.
• A file can be now recognized directly from a windows explorer "compressed folder".
• Better invalid files check.
• Better Windows Explorer compatibility using different file selection alternatives: first try with Shell.Application in NVDA, then try Shell.Application in PowerShell then fallback to manual browse.
• OCR engine keeps the language setting during the whole recognition process even if it is changed during a multi-page recognition.
• OCR queue to recognize from multiple sources.
• Hotkey PgDown at the last page of a document goes to the end of the document reporting the line number.
• Windows temporary folder is used for file converters tools instead the plugin folder (better performance on NVDA portable).
• Romanian translation and update of the simplified chinese translation.

• Support for multipage tiff files
• PDF encoding bug fix for operating systems in chinese language
• Manual addon update under the NVDA - Tools - menu

• Automatic addon update
• Spanish and French translations updated

nao-2021.2

• OCR of pdf and images are presented in a new text window, with some hotkeys for simple operations.
• Support for the Xplorer filemanager.
• Nao shortcuts are customizable from the Input Gestures Dialog of NVDA.
• Nao works only where possible, so if you are in a not supported window, the hotkey will be ignored by the addon; this solved an important issue where Excel and Word users couldn't press the NVDA-Shift-r keystroke, since it was incorrectly intercepted by Nao.
• A long Ocr process can be aborted simply pressing the "Cancel" button on the progress bar window.
• Added Turkish, Russian, Spanish, Chinese and French translations.
• Users can make donations to the project.
• Fixed a bug with some characters on the file name that prevents the Ocr to work properly.
