QNAWindows x64 · Windows on ARM
It reads the questions on your screen, and answers them.
QNA sits in the tray and watches the screen you are already looking at. It reads the questions, answers them, and puts everything on a page you drive it from — on this computer, or on the phone in your hand.
And the page it serves is the page you drive it from — open it on your phone and start a scan on the Windows machine without getting up.
Why it is easy to live with
The questions are already on a screen you own.
A camera exists to turn a screen into pixels, and your computer already has them. QNA takes the picture from the display rather than of it, which is both sharper and far less trouble.
Nothing to aim, nothing to set up
The questions are already on a display this machine owns, so QNA takes the picture from the display rather than of it. No camera, no tripod, no lighting, and nothing to hold still.
It waits in the tray
Start it once and it sits quietly by the clock. It watches when you ask it to, and the rest of the time it is out of the way.
Driven from a page, on whichever screen is nearer
Start it, stop it, take a single capture, run a scan over a long list — the page does all of it, and shows the answers as they arrive. Open it on this computer, or on your phone from across the room.
What it does
One pass over a long list, and every question answered once.
It reads what is on the screen
QNA takes the picture straight from the display, so what it reads is as sharp as what you see. There is no angle to correct and no glare to work around.
A whole list in one pass
Scroll through a long list of questions once. QNA keeps up with the scrolling, picks the frames worth reading afterwards, and answers each question exactly once.
A question split across two screens is put back together
When a question is cut off at the bottom of one frame and continues at the top of the next, QNA joins the halves before answering, rather than answering half a question.
Everything it has answered is kept
Past sittings stay on the page, so you can reopen one and read it again. Answering the same question later updates what is there instead of filling the list with duplicates.
Run it from your phone
The page is laid out for a phone as well as a desktop, so the buttons that start a scan or take a capture are under your thumb. About gives you the address to type in; your phone needs to be on the same Wi-Fi, and nothing else.
From your phone
Control the Windows machine from the phone in your hand.
The page is the control surface, not a log, and it is the same page on both screens. Open it on your phone and you can start QNA, stop it, take a single capture or run a scan over a long list — on the Windows machine, from wherever you are sitting — and watch each answer arrive under the picture it was read from.
It is laid out for a phone as well as a desktop, so those buttons are under your thumb from across the room. About prints the address to type in — the one starting 192.168 or 10, which is this machine on your own network. Your phone needs to be on the same Wi-Fi, and nothing else.
Questions
What people ask first.
+What does it need to run?
Windows, on Intel or ARM. It is one file: download it, start it, and a tray icon appears.
+Does it need a camera?
No. It reads the display this machine already has, which is both sharper and less trouble than pointing something at a screen.
+Where do I drive it from?
A page this machine serves. Start, stop, take one capture or run a scan, and watch the answers arrive — from this computer, or from a phone on the same Wi-Fi.
+How do I find the address for my phone?
The tray menu's About box prints it, beside the one for this computer. It is the one that starts 192.168 or 10.
+Does it keep what it answered?
Yes. Past sittings are on the page and can be reopened. Answering a question again updates its answer rather than adding another.
+Which machine does the work?
This one reads the screen and keeps the answers. The answering itself goes to the model your licence names.
Put it in the tray.
One file for Windows. Start it, tell it when to watch, and read the answers here or on your phone.
