Support thread for screentext

download: http://davidlauria.com/software
readme: http://davidlauria.com/software/screentext.htm

Screentext is a TWP 2.1 module that outputs text directly to the TV screen. It works best with out2osd (which is usually installed with ncid) but will work with the Tivo's native text2osd also. All support questions should go here.

If you get the following error:
Couldn't find or create shared front buffer
You may be using a deprecated version of out2osd. Try v9.0.

You do not have permission to open the application Canon IJScanner2

YOU DO NOT HAVE THE PERMISSIONS! Ugh. Upgrading to Big Sur 11.5.1 murdered my old flatbed scanner, which I use all the time. Evidently, it's a problem for many many   many people. The following sequence worked, but I can't guarantee that it will work for you as well, since I deleted, added, re-deleted, upgraded and downgraded all kinds of files until it finally showed up without an error: Delete the scanner from Preferences Delete Canon utilities Remove any Canon-related files from /Library/Printers/Canon Remove any Canon-related files from /Library/Image Capture/Devices Reboot Install the misd-mac-ijscanner2-4_1_4-ea21_3 driver Don't install the LiDE 210 Scanner Driver Ver.18.2.0 (Mac) file, that seems to be both useless and part of the overall problem. Just use Image Capture and you should be fine.

Omnipage SE on Vista

Omnipage SE won't install on Windows Vista; it gives an error that says "The wizard was interrupted before Omnipage SE could be completely installed." Don't bother trying compatibility mode settings, running as Administrator, etc, because the problem is probably related to this one, documented on Microsoft's support site. (Omnipage Pro 11.0 has some dumb hangup with the msi installer, and that just happens to be SE's internal version number). This program came with my Canon scanner, but Canon's web site says support questions should go to Nuance. Nuance says that SE isn't supported under Vista (works fine under XP, of course.) They WILL be happy to send you a $150 upgrade. Here's what to do if, like me, you need OCR maybe twice a year: Install Omnipage SE on an XP computer Copy /Program Files/Scansoft to your Vista computer Make a shortcut to omnipage.exe It won't recognize your scanner, but will work fine on files. So scan into a .tif ...

It works with the two major CID programs on the Tivo, elseed and ncid , and requires the very excellent TivoWebPlus 2.x . This thread is the place to post questions and comments. I update the program all the time, so feel free to post feature requests too.
