I thought I saw a post about the #Unspoken #Addon for #NVDASR being updated earlier. Audio themes is still about too isn't it? There's also one called navigation sounds.

What is everyone using?

There's this version of Unspoken which I think is still in active development: https://github.com/masonasons/Unspoken

I also maintain a fork but if the other version is just as good I will probably stop: https://modulus.isonomia.net/doodles/unspoken.nvda-addon

in reply to modulux

Active development might be putting it strongly. It’s being maintained, but I wouldn’t expect new features. It’s the one I use though.

Maybe more than I'm doing. I will maintain it to the extent of modifying the manifest and touching up the NVDA API changes, but that's about it.

@fastfinge @modulux There was an interesting addon that did sounds for punctuation some time ago. And I used to wonder how powerful a system would be that let you play sounds based on screen text and background sound for window titles. Might be neat for some to have different ambience for other windows, for example.

Sounds and earcons aside, though, I'd like to be able to turn off control type indication without an addon, really

in reply to Sean Randall

I sometimes wonder if sounds and earcons should be handled by a different app. It would mean they could be the same across screen readers, and if the screen reader crashed, the earcons would continue.
in reply to Samuel Proulx

Would be cool, though I'd already be satisfied if it were a screen-reader built-in.
