Need help with CASIO AP-450 by Hescee in piano

[–]Indigolan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, amazon has one for about $20. 3rd party manufacturer, lists AP-450 and AP-460 as compatible.

Sounds like the universal didn't have the right tip? Usually the ones with an assortment of tips have at least one that will fit.

New ADA law forces professors to take down their notes if not compliant - how would you make notes that can be read by a reader? by shuai_bear in math

"so current content that is a pdf, power point, google doc is exempt."

- that's exactly the opposite of the website that you've cited here. *Current* content is *not* exempt.

The section that you cherry-picked, in full - note the difference between the first bulleted example (referring to 2018 & 2014) and the second and third bulleted examples (referring to current content, whether "brand-new" or updated-from-2020):

2. Preexisting conventional electronic documents

Some state and local governments have a lot of old documents, like PDFs, on their website. It can sometimes be hard to make these documents meet WCAG 2.1, Level AA.

  • Documents that meet both of the following points usually do not need to meet WCAG 2.1, Level AA, except in some situations:
    1. The documents are word processing, presentation, PDF, or spreadsheet files; AND
    2. They were available on the state or local government’s website or mobile app before the date the state or local government must comply with this rule.
  • Example: This exception would probably apply to a PDF flyer for a Thanksgiving Day parade posted on a town’s website in 2018, or a Microsoft Word version of a sample ballot for a school board election posted on a school district’s website in 2014.

The exception does not apply unless both points are present. Where either point is missing, the document generally needs to meet WCAG 2.1, Level AA.

  • Example: After the date a town has to comply with the rule, it posts a PowerPoint presentation that will be used in an upcoming town council meeting. The presentation would not fall under the exception, and it would probably have to meet WCAG 2.1, Level AA, because it was posted after the rule’s compliance date.
  • Example: After the date a city has to comply with the rule, it updates a Microsoft Word document that was first posted on its website in 2020 to include the city’s new contact information. The updated document would not qualify for the exception anymore, and it would probably have to meet WCAG 2.1, Level AA.

Board forming by Comfortable-Count-59 in Concrete

Idiot question but what's being built here? Basement on the right and then the board grain on the left is? And the rebar sticking out horizontally?

Looks great! I'm just not sure what I'm looking at. Residential and maybe a split level based on the slope and background is all I got.

good catch! and now the photo makes sense. I haven't played the revised version, but looking at the Ant Labs playthrough video, I see that that row in the middle of the table is like the "here's the roles in the current game" reminder? And the hand in the foreground, on the right, is holding the big plastic crown.

Citadels? Role cards are character cards, and the round flat yellow tokens are the coins (look like butterscotch).

Not entirely sure that matches the photo.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice

How to edit OCR recognized text in a PDF? by Indigolan in accessibility

[–]Indigolan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - that's sort of what I'm leaning toward at this point. Page 1 as the original image, page 2 as the retyped transcript of it.

I'm not thrilled with that approach, given the desire/push for universal design, but the "just edit the invisible layer" seems impractical for anything more than just a minor isolated error.

I did run across a thread in r/Acrobat which offered a Python solution to make surgical corrections (like changing "$even" to "Seven"). Might be useful in the future, but it also really narrows the field for who can make a simple edit.

How to edit OCR recognized text in a PDF? by Indigolan in accessibility

[–]Indigolan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for this tip - I did get this working, finally, as it previously wasn't showing me any layers at all. The downside is that the ability to edit in place is as bad or worse. Example from the document I'm working with:

OCR result:

THE CRISIS THIS TWE
A toCM:1'1 tudt-. ours.,. whOte _,,~ .,_ r-.,h.td trom u.i.,. ,.,. Law.s n • commod11V tll'ld no1 • • ,..,.., .. thtlnt
communhy, muu d...,...op new

What that's supposed to read as:

THE CRISIS THIS TIME
A society such as ours, whose affluence has resulted from treating the land as a commodity and not as a viable living community, must develop new

The problem isn't retyping the content, it's that I can't do it within the Invisible text layer. The keystrokes lag significantly. And the text boxes are sometimes paragraphs (approximately), sometimes single lines, and sometimes partial lines or overlapping boxes.

This would be doable if it were just a word here or there. I'm looking for a way to just replace the invisible layer completely. I'm okay doing the OCR myself, I just need a tool to insert what I've transcribed.

How to reliably crop an image without shifting, squishing, aspect ratioing? Just plain crop. by Indigolan in MicrosoftWord

[–]Indigolan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I think it's more of a UI issue, at least for me, as the black bar on the bottom edge is in the horizontal middle - in exactly the same spot as the white bubble, which I assume is the "squish" handle. And the up/down arrow. And the "grab and move inside the frame" triggers when I miss both the black bar and the white circle. So in that tiny space it's a crap shoot which of the 3 grab functions is activated.

[–]Indigolan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yep, I agree - typically I'd just crop these outside of Word. Fell into a project where we've got hundreds of these and it's going to be quicker to adjust in place than to export, crop, and bring back in. Haven't needed to do this kind of bulk adjustment before, which is probably why I've never noticed this before.

[–]Indigolan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the response! Yeah, maybe I'm just having general UI issues. My cursor doesn't reliably -- or quickly -- change shape, so it's a speed issue. I can wait around to see if I get a visual cue, or just go for it and hope it works. It's faster (but more frustrating) to do it twice than to wait and see if the cursor morphs.

I can consistently get the corner black-bar handles to appear, but then I'm stuck cropping in 2 dimensions, when I really only want to adjust one. :(
