@kingoffire This is a good suggestion. We do have an issue requesting this here: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue…

As well as one specifically for add-ons (if you have two with conflicting keystrokes): github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue…

And this issue requesting the ability to generate a list of gestures on the fly: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue…

Add function to generate current list of input gestures

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The quick reference guide (generated from the user guide) is a handy reference of keystrokes, however there are several issues: It may...

@kingoffire You can use the dictionary to "correct" how a synthesizer reads a particular word, is that what you mean?

There will always be issues such as the difference between "live" in "We are broadcasting live" and "I want to live while I am young". That could be something an AI pronunciation add-on could address in future, but otherwise, we wouldn't want to start asking document authors to change how they write the word in each context.

I'm not sure I understood your question?

@kingoffire You asked this question yesterday - mastodon.ml/@kingoffire/114902… - And I did reply to that post. Beyond creating a dictionary entry to change how a particular word is read, there really isn't a way I can think of. If you are using eSpeak-NG, and notice an issue consistently, you could create an issue for them, or submit a fix: github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng…

Hello,

I am writing to inquire about a feature for the NVDA screen reader. Currently, NVDA has a speech dictionary. Would it be possible to add the functionality to mark specific letters within a word to indicate the proper pronunciation, specifically for emphasis or stress (i.e., to denote the stressed syllable)?

Thank you.
