Hi all!
My NVDA OCR is broken. Sometimes it will say content not vissible, sometimes it wont even work if i press cpslock +r and sometimes it will show my desktop even if i am in a different app. Before you say things, let me tell my screen curtain is disabled nd this really should work so i am not sure what is the issue.
Can anyone help?

Hello,
This might be due to the window that you are trying to perform OCR on is not in focus or is not maximised. Checking OCR settings in NVDA might help too.
have you tried recognising a word document or something and checked if it works there. also, just press win+up arrow once or twice to make sure that the window is maximised.  Perhaps you can provide more info about the content you are trying to recognise which can help us to help you. OCR might not work in some games and even DRM protected video though i am not completely sure of that final thought.
