Help Capture2Text with Windows 11

narutomla — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 16:54:38 +0000

To whom it may concern:

Could someone please help me? I use Capture2Text a lot. I had Windows 10 and bought a new one with Windows 11 a month ago. It does capture OCR data, but it doesn't translate it into any language. Could you please help me fix this program?

I hope you can help me. Thank you for your attention.

DSpeech portable not working properly

nicolleen — Sun, 04 Aug 2024 17:16:31 +0000

Hi,
I'm trying to get DSpeech running for my sight-disabled mum.
I've run into a few problems. I run Windows 10 on the laptop and desktop.
First and main problem: PortableApps-Version downloaded from your link to the publisher (due to false positives on your alternative link page) only starts the speech recognition cockpit, but no main window for the Text to Speech utility. I tried reinstalling and everything I could think of. I get no warnings from MS defender (as opposed to Balabolka and NVDA).
Second: Deleting the portable folder of DSpeech and reinstalling again, I expected to be welcomed by the speech recognition setup again, but wasn't. This is odd, because as a portable app I expected every trace removed, but the speech recognition was still set up from the previous portable install of the paf.exe.
Third, another thing I don't understand: I went to the programmer's page and learned, that the app is portable by itself and not meant to interfere with any registry entry or leave any trace. What is the difference between the portableapps.com version and the original version then?
Fourth: I cannot add other languages in either portable version other than installing in the Microsoft settings for Speech and Languages. I assumed, in the portable version by portableapps.com it would be included somehow. Is this the case or how does this work?
In this context I have the problem, that from the MS voices added in the system settings, in DSpeech I only get 3 out of 7 voices and not even all languages, that are now installed on my computer. DSpeech doesn't see all new languages, only 2 voices.
Having said that, this does not refer to the portableapps.com version, as I don't get it to run the main window and I cannot use it. Nevertheless maybe a solution is obvious that affects either version.

Thanks!

I have tried everything I could find online to get my Thunderbird account open. I even deleted Thunderbird, got a new account, and downloaded the link to install Thunderbird. I cannot open my new account and I am really unhappy about it. Can someone help me? I will not donate a cent until I get my Thunderbird back. And yes, I will post this on Facebook without your link.

[Fixed] Balabolka resets UI's language if run via the platform

ANTICHRISTUS REX — Thu, 06 Jan 2022 11:45:47 +0000

Hello friends.
Balabolka resets its UI's language to English if we run it via the platform, of course language setting are correctly configured

Tested on two different computers: Windows 7 32 & 64 bit, no active antivirus and Peerblock as firewall.
Path: Different paths within different subdirectories: C:\Users\Blah\Blah\Blah

How to reproduce:
When installed on a fresh platform, Balabolka starts in French. If closed and run again, its UI changes to English, even if we change its language to something else.

It works correctly, if the BalabolkaPortable.exe is run from outside the Platform.

This bug appeared before version 2.15.0.797 (can't remember exactly).

[Fixed] Balabolka resets dictionaries and skins

ANTICHRISTUS REX — Thu, 02 Apr 2020 14:25:00 +0000

hello PA team and users !

I'm downloading & using Balabolka from this site since several years, encountering the same problem, and used to think that's a Balabolka's related problem.. Until recently,

The problem is → (At least) the two folders: 'Dictionaries' and 'Skins' are reseted to their defaults at every update (when the app is updated, they're deleted & replaced by default ones). The added Skins vanish and dictionaries lose any personalization.

Thanks in advance !!

About On-Screen Keyboard Portable

der_bayer36 — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 17:27:58 +0000

Hi, there is an error which is preventing me from launching on screen keyboard on windows 10 pro x64:

https://imgur.com/a/H2pgFA9

I hope someone could find a solution for this error. The onscreen keyboard* seems to depend on some files in system32 folder or on some registery enteries to work.

It would be much better to make your app work by itslef without them. Thanks for taking my suggestion into consideration.

Any way to install different voices to run off USB for Balabolka app?

shannonthewheeze — Tue, 23 Jan 2018 02:18:24 +0000

Hi all
I'm fairly certain (from my somewhat limited computer knowledge) that this isn't possible, but thought I'd ask in case I'm wrong.

I have a student who is going to run Balabolka off a USB for use on her school's exam laptops. As the laptops are just pulled from a bank, there is no way to ensure she is given the same computer every time, nor what voices are installed. She is also without install privileges. She would like to listen to an Australian English voice (for which we have the executable file) but is there any way to have this 'install' on the USB too, so that Balabolka detects it as an option?

Thanks in advance!

[Fixed] Some text in platform updater/app store, backup/restore, PA.c installer, etc invisible w high contrast Windows theme

Martin0815 — Fri, 14 Jul 2017 20:02:40 +0000

Hi,

Since I having eye disabilities I use the enabled black based High-Contrast-Mode (high-contrast-#1 theme/design) on Windows 7 and Windows 10.

Since the installer and the updater are strictly "branded" with white background images, there is already a problem, since white as background is not that "mandatory" (MSDN rules) high-contrast support.

On Windows 7 the text in the installer or at the last updater screen is yellow and so yellow on white background image.
On Windows 10 it is white texto n white background image.

To test it on your self:

use LeftShift+LeftAlt+PrintScr to enable or diable the high-contrast-mode
switch through the high-contrast designs to test the visual results.

I really would appreciate, if some changes will take place to support accessibility helpers (MSDN: mandatory accessibility support).

Best regards,

Martin
P.S.: Desktop Zoom is mostly ignored, too on my Windows 7 office desktop.

[Fixed] Dspeech error

wquatan — Fri, 14 Jul 2017 09:55:33 +0000

Since

DSpeech Text-to-speech on demand 3 MB Accessibility - DSpeech 3 MB

has been added to the platform, I'm trying to install but always get the error "The downloaded copy of DSpeech is not valid and can not be installed. This could be due to an incomplete download or other network issue. Please try running the updater again when complete.
"
The download seems to be a 2-step download, but the size of both is identical (which normally never is)

Are download-errors (like this one or redirection errors) which occur at user-side not returned to portableapps ?
I'm asking because I have since months redirection errors on

DB Browser for SQLite 3.9.1 15 MB Development - Database manager
Skype via sPortable 7.38.0.101 44 MB Internet - Instant messenger & phone

Almost a year ago I had the same with LibreOffice, but after months that solved itself

No authorization at all

manuelhermans — Wed, 26 Apr 2017 10:17:12 +0000

Today my computer at work was upgraded to Windows 10, Office 365 and OneDrive. The application manager gives me no authorization at all to install Store apps and I can not open any exe files from portable apps. Is there any other way to use portable apps?
