@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…

@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.

How do you stop NVDA from saying "This Page Link" on pages all the time, even though the link it is saying that before announcing is on the same page? Example: I'm on a site called WatZatSong (song identification site I go on frequently). NVDA is saying "Link, link, link" before every link, as it should, but some links it says "This page link" before announcing the link, instead of just "link". It is really annoying and has actually led to me doing things I didn't want to quite a few times because the announcement has thrown me off. How do you stop that from happening? Or is there no way to stop it?
