Presentation

This addon was created following a request from a member on the nvda-addons mailing list.

It provides a script without gesture, which allows to retrieve and give the language of the current keyboard.

If pressed twice, gives the default language of the system.

At the first version of this module, it had been proposed as simple globalPlugin to paste in the configuration directory of NVDA, it was then transformed into addon.

Notes

To set a gesture to the script giving the keyboard language, follow these steps:

• Open the NVDA's menu, with "NVDA + N";
• Go to NVDA's preferences menu;
• Then go to the submenu "Input gestures".
• Then select the category "Input", and open it with right arrow.
• Go to the item labeled "Gives the language of the keyboard in use, if pressed twice, give the default language of the system";
• Once done, press Alt + A to add a gesture, and type "NVDA + F4" or another gesture of your choice;
• This done, press the up arrow once, you hear "your chosen gesture, all layout";
• Validate on enter, then tab to OK then enter;
• Your chosen gesture should then call the script giving keyboard language.

This addon allows you to customize which aria landmarks are reported by NVDA when you browse the Internet.

Its functionality is very simple. Once installed, open your webbrowser and visit the web as usual. The default aria landmarks reported by Firefox and Chrome will also be visible in Internet Explorer, so you will be able to press quick navigation keys to jump between them, and list them by pressing NVDA+f7 in all browsers. Read the NVDA User Guide for more information.

The addon adds an extra landmark not included by default in NVDA, the article (abbreviated in Braille as art).

The configuration dialog

You can enable or disable landmarks by going to NVDA, preferences, Enhanced Aria Settings or from the appropriate category in the NVDA options dialog. The dialog has a checkbox for each landmark. If you disable a landmark, you won't be able to jump to it pressing the d key when browsing a webpage, and NVDA won't report it.

This project is an appModule for the LAMBDA Software. It has been inspired by the work of Peter Lecky at the Comenius University. LAMBDA (Linear Access to Mathematic for Braille Device and Audio-synthesis) is a software that helps blind people to read and write math using a braille display and/or a speech synthesizer. LAMBDA is the result of an EU-Project. For more information about LAMBDA please visit https://www.lambdaproject.org/.
The current version of the addon has braille tables for Italian and Spanish languages and its interface is available in most of the NVDA's official languages, because it is translated by the NVDA translations community. If you are a non-italian user of LAMBDA and you would like to contribute with the porting of the braille table in your language, feel free to contact the author (see below) or subscribe the project mailing list.

Please note: This addon has been developed by Alberto Zanella as a voluntary activity. Nor the author or the contributors are involved in selling and / or development of the software Lambda. If you need more information about Lambda, or you need support on how to use it, please contact your local distributor. If you are encountering any difficulties when using or installing this addon, please contact the author or use the "Issues" link on the Github project page.

Official Github Repository Addon Features: Speech support:

• Dialogs and menus are properly reported;
• Natural speech support for math formulas using the Lambda math engine, i.e. "compound root 3 sep compound root 3 x plus 24, close compound root, minus 3 equals 0";
• implemented the Reading by character, words, lines and Say All;
• Speaks when a block of text is selected or extended (using CTRL+B and SHIFT+CTRL+B);
• Speaks when moving in the text editor using standard Windows commands and Lambda-specific commands;
• Both Extended and Short speech modes are supported (you can select it using the Tools menu in Lambda);
• Special dialogs like structure mode, calculator, and matrix window are now correctly reported and NVDA reads correctly when moving the cursor around or when new text is typed ;
• Typing echo uses the Lambda text processor, so symbols and markers will be correctly reported.

Braille support:

• The addon installs (inside the user profile directory) and activates a custom braille table. This table may be different for different languages. Custom braille tables were made from ones in the Lambda plugin for JAWS (jbt file). Then symbols and markers are represented using the same dots patterns;
• The addon creates an NVDA profile for a standard braille configuration. By this, the output is set to the custom braille table only when the Lambda application is active;
• Dialogs and menus are properly reported in braille;
• The content of the editor is correctly rendered in braille and the user is able to move using braille scrolling keys or cursor routing keys;
• Starting from the addon version 1.1.0, there are two ways in which the text in the Lambda editor is rendered: "Flat mode" and "non-Flat Mode". When the "Flat mode" is on, NVDA will use the Display Model to retrieve information from the editor and to determine the caret position. This is specially beneficial when the user needs to move around on the screen, even in white spaces. When the "Flat Mode" is set to "off", text rendering on the braille display is more stable, since NVDA uses Windows API to retrieve it. However when the the caret is moved in white spaces next to the end of the line of text, the braille display does not follow the real cursor as long as a non-white space is added by the user.

The "flat mode" is active by default. You can toggle "flat mode" on or off by pressing NVDA+SHIFT+F.

We strongly recommend to disable the Flat Mode if you are using custom DPI in Windows (Custom sizing option), especially when you have screen settings with more than 96 dpi (larger than 100%).

• The structure of dialog boxes is easier, repeated information has been removed;
• The selection will be marked properly using dots 7 and 8, and marking is properly refreshed while standard Windows commands (SHIFT+ARROWS) or Lambda specific commands (CTRL+B, CTRL+SHIFT+B) are pressed.

Before starting to use this addon.

This addon creates an NVDA profile named "lambda" which is associated with the "lambda.exe" application. The profile automatically sets all braille options: the custom braille table, the focus tethering and flat mode settings.

If a previous profile with the same name is present in your system, the addon will not override it and you have to manually adjust your configuration profile.

To stave off this situation, if you have specific settings you'd like to preserve, you can use the "Revert LAMBDA Profile Wizard". The shortcut to start this tool is NVDA+alt+r (when focused in LAMBDA).

An easy option is also to delete old versions of the "lambda" profile after the installation of the addon. To do so, open the NVDA menu, select the "Configuration profiles" menu Item and press ENTER.

In the Configuration profiles dialog, you'll be able to locate and delete the "lambda" profile. The profile will be re-created the next time the Lambda application is started.

Deleting the "lambda" profile should be an easy solution also when the addon runs into any problem. For instance, if the braille table is not properly set, instead of manually configuring the profile, you can simply delete it. The addon will create a new one the next time you'll load the Lambda editor.

Each time the Lambda editor is started, this addon checks if a profile with the name "lambda" exists. If it doesn't, it automatically generates a profile with the following form:

filename : userData\profiles\lambda.ini : [braille] readByParagraph = False tetherTo = focus translationTable = path-to-the-addon-brailleTable-dir\tableName [lambda] brailleFlatMode = True

Where :

• path-to-the-addon-brailleTable-dir : is the absolute path of the addon directory + "\brailleTables"
• tableName : depends on the active NVDA language. Currently only the italian and Spanish braille tables, "lambda-ita.utb" and "lambda-esp.utb" respectively, is present.

Addon Keyboard Shortcuts:

• NVDA+Shift+f: Toggle braille flat mode on or off;
• NVDA+alt+r: Open the "Revert LAMBDA Profile Wizard";
• NVDA+d: Duplicate lines (use this instad of control+d).

Known issues:

Due to a bug present in LAMBDA, the add-on provides an extra-logic that reports white spaces. This logic may fail in the following situations:

• When words like "space", "spazio" "Espacio" etc. are inserted into the text, they may be reported by NVDA as the local NVDA language translation.
• Blank lines are not reported by the LAMBDA speech engine. The user will hear the translation of the word "space" instead. This could be both a blank line or a line containing only the word "space".

Useful tips

This is a set of tips that will help you on using the addon in a more eficient way.

• Character-by-character reporting: Normally, when working with maths you would like NVDA to report things you're writing character by character. To do this, there are a couple of simple steps: ensure to have the focus on the LAMBDA's window or one of its variants (the six dots representation, for example); press NVDA+2 (number two) or navigate to NVDA menu>Preferences>Keyboard settings and check the box to Speak typed characters; go to LAMBDA>Options>Voice paramethers and ensure the checkbox "echo" is ON, otherwhise NVDA won't receive anything from the speech engine while you are typing. And done, NVDA will speak written characters, but don't worry, only in LAMBDA or its special windows, the settings for the rest of applications will be left as they were.

Change log

Below is a list of changes between the different add-on versions. Next to the version number, between parentheses, is the development status. The current development release isn't included as it could have changes until it is flagged as stable or discarded as candidate.

Version 1.3.0 (stable)

• Support for newer version of NVDA (Support for Python 3)
• Solved an issue while pressing duplicate line command NVDA+d in a blank line caused clipboard content to be pasted. Now when you press NVDA+d and you are in a blank line, a new blank line appears as expected.

Version 1.2.2 (stable)

• Improved compatibility with WX Python version 4 (introduced with NVDA 2018.3). Warning related with wx.NewId() is no longer displayed in debug log.
• Implemented guiHelper to enhance dialogs's appearance.
• New languages. Updated translations.

Version 1.2.1a (stable)

This update is intended to be a long-term support release. It means that until, at least, june 2018, it won't be released a version as stable as this. We do it to provide students maximum stability and to minimize the changes during the academical year.

• New languages. Updated translations.

Version 1.2.1 (stable)

• Added compatibility with the way that NVDA 2017.3 uses to manage braille. Backwards compatibility kept.
• fixed many braille issues.

Version 1.2.0 (development)

This version was not published as stable because the version 1.2.1 included major fixes.

• New locales. Updated localizations.

Version 1.1.8 (stable)

• Initial stable release.

This is an updated version of the Clip Copy add-on for NVDA, initially created by Tyler Spivey in 2012. The add-on is compatible with NVDA versions from 2020.4 to 2024.1.

The original version of the add-on offered two keystrokes:

• F12: Copy the most recent spoken text to the clipboard
• Shift+F12: Toggle an optional beep on new text

In this version:

• You can review the 500 most recent items spoken by NVDA, by default using the hotkeys Shift+F11 and Shift+F12.
• Pressing F12 will copy the currently selected item from the history, which is updated to be the most recent each time NVDA speaks. In other words, F12 still behaves as it did in the older add-on, unless you've specifically selected an older spoken item to copy.
• You can capture multiple speech history items in realtime, which is useful for e.g. bug reports without copying from the Speech Viewer. Press NVDA+Shift+F11 to start recording, use NVDA as normal, and then press NVDA+Shift+F12 to stop recording. All recorded speech will be copied to the clipboard, with items separated by a line break (\n).
• The beep on new text function has been removed.

This addon allows NVDA to speak typed characters and words while typing into password fields. However, navigation in password fields is unchanged.

Usage

Passwords are spoken automatically when this addon is installed, controlled by "Speak typed characters" and "Speak typed words".

To stop passwords from being spoken, disable Speak typed characters/words or disable/uninstall the add-on.

Presentation

Clipspeak is an addon that allows NVDA to automatically announce clipboard operations (such as cut, copy and paste), along with other common editing operations such as undo and redo.

In order to prevent announcement in inappropriate situations, Clipspeak performs checks on the control and the clipboard in order to make an informed decision as to whether such an announcement is necessary.

You can choose between only announcing copy/cut/paste or also whats is being copied/cutted/pasted on NVDA, configurations, clipspeak.

By default, Clipspeak's gestures are mapped to those commonly used by English versions of Windows:

• CTRL+Z: Undo
• CTRL+Y: Redo
• CTRL+X: Cut
• CTRL+C: Copy
• CTRL+V: Paste

If these are not the shortcuts commonly used for these tasks on your version of Windows, you will need to remap these gestures in the input gestures configuration under the Clipboard category.

Automatic update

This add-on includes an automatic update feature. The check for a new version will be executed everytime NVDA is loaded. If you want this, go to NVDA, Preferences, Options and in the add-on category check the check box.

This NVDA add-on provides various commands for copying the text under the review cursor to the clipboard. Currently, the following commands are implemented:

• Copy the line under the review cursor
• Copy the word under the review cursor
• Copy from the start of the current line to the review cursor
• Copy from the review cursor to the end of the current line
• Copy from the start of the current word to the review cursor
• Copy from the review cursor to the end of the current word

None of these commands have key bindings by default. Please use the input gestures dialog located under the NVDA settings menu to set them. All of the commands provided by this add-on can be found under the "text review" category. More information about setting and modifying input gestures can be found in the NVDA user guide.

This addon reverts the behaviour of NVDA+f9 and NVDA+f10 that was introduced in NVDA 2016.3.

The old behaviour copies the selection to the clipboard on the first press of NVDA+f10, while the new one selects on the first press and copies on the second. The new behaviour has some disadvantages. Text can't be copied without being selected (and thus moving the cursor), where that's available. For places it's not (example the console), it adds an extra press of NVDA+f10.

The addon adds two new gestures under the Classic Selection category to start and end selection, which are bound to NVDA+f9 and NVDA+f10 by default.

Switch synth

This addon allows easy switching of synthesizers via hotkeys. It is an improved version of my earlier switch_synth addon with an underscore, which must be uninstalled. Any preexisting synthesizer configurations will continue to work with this version.

There are 6 synthesizer slots, 1 through 6. By default, they are empty. Slots can be switched by pressing control+shift+NVDA+1 through control+shift+NVDA+6. Once a slot is switched to, its synthesizer and settings will be loaded if they exist. To save the current synthesizer and its settings to the currently active slot, press control+shift+NVDA+v.

• Author: Noelia Ruiz Martínez.

This add-on package provides improved usage of StationPlaylist Studio and other StationPlaylist apps, as well as providing utilities to control Studio from anywhere. Supported apps include Studio, Creator, Track Tool, VT Recorder, and Streamer, as well as SAM, SPL, and AltaCast encoders.

For more information about the add-on, read the add-on guide.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• This add-on requires StationPlaylist suite 5.40 or later.
• Some add-on features will be disabled or limited if NVDA is running in secure mode such as in logon screen.
• For best experience, disable audio ducking mode.
• Starting from 2018, changelogs for old add-on releases will be found on GitHub. This add-on readme will list changes from version 23.02 (2023) onwards.
• While Studio is running, you can save, reload saved settings, or reset add-on settings to defaults by pressing Control+NVDA+C, Control+NVDA+R once, or Control+NVDA+R three times, respectively. This is also applicable to encoder settings - you can save and reset (not reload) encoder settings if using encoders.
• Many commands will provide speech output while NVDA is in speak on demand mode (NVDA 2024.1 and later).

To obtain length to play selected tracks, mark current track for start of track time analysis (SPL Assistant, F9), then press SPL Assistant, F10 when reaching end of selection.

Columns Explorer

By pressing Control+NVDA+1 through 0, you can obtain contents of specific columns. By default, these are first ten columns for a track item (in Studio: artist, title, duration, intro, outro, category, year, album, genre, mood). For playlist editor in Creator and Remote VT client, column data depends on column order as shown on screen. In Studio, Creator's main track list, and Track Tool, column slots are preset regardless of column order on screen and can be configured from add-on settings dialog under columns explorer category.

Track column announcement

You can ask NVDA to announce track columns found in Studio's playlist viewer in the order it appears on screen or using a custom order and/or exclude certain columns. Press NVDA+V to toggle this behavior while focused on a track in Studio's playlist viewer. To customize column inclusion and order, from column announcement settings panel in add-on settings, uncheck "Announce columns in the order shown on screen" and then customize included columns and/or column order.

Playlist snapshots

You can press SPL Assistant, F8 while focused on a playlist in Studio to obtain various statistics about a playlist, including number of tracks in the playlist, longest track, top artists and so on. After assigning a custom command for this feature, pressing the custom command twice will cause NVDA to present playlist snapshot information as a webpage so you can use browse mode to navigate (press escape to close).

Playlist Transcripts

Pressing SPL Assistant, Shift+F8 will present a dialog to let you request playlist transcripts in numerous formats, including in a plain text format, an HTML table or a list.

Configuration dialog

From studio window, you can press Alt+NVDA+0 to open the add-on configuration dialog. Alternatively, go to NVDA's preferences menu and select SPL Studio Settings item. Not all settings are available if NVDA is running in secure mode.

Broadcast profiles dialog

You can save settings for specific shows into broadcast profiles. These profiles can be managed via SPL broadcast profiles dialog which can be accessed by pressing Alt+NVDA+P from Studio window.

SPL touch mode

If you are using Studio on a touchscreen computer with NVDA installed, you can perform some Studio commands from the touchscreen. First use three finger tap to switch to SPL mode, then use the touch commands listed above to perform commands.

Version 24.03

• Compatible with NVDA 2024.1.
• NVDA 2023.3.3 or later is required.
• Support for StationPlaylist suite 6.10.
• Most commands support speak on demand (NVDA 2024.1) so announcements can be spoken in this mode.

Version 24.01

• The commands for the Encoder Settings dialog for use with the SPL and SAM Encoders are now assignable, meaning that you can change them from their defaults under the StationPlaylist category in NVDA Menu > Preferences > Input Gestures. The ones that are not assignable are the connect and disconnect commands. Also, to prevent command conflicts and make much easier use of this command on remote servers, the default gesture for switching to Studio after connecting is now Control+Shift+F11 (previously just F11). All of these can of course still be toggled from the Encoder Settings dialog (NVDA+Alt+0 or F12).

Version 23.05

• To reflect the maintainer change, the manifest has been updated to indicate as such.

Version 23.02

• NVDA 2022.4 or later is required.
• Windows 10 21H2 (November 2021 Update/build 19044) or later is required.
• In Studio's playlist viewer, NVDA will not announce column headers such as artist and title if table headers setting is set to either "rows and columns" or "columns" in NVDA's document formatting settings panel.

Welcome to Tone Master! I've created this little NVDA add-on just for fun, but also for you to have fun while using it.

I always wanted to create musical tunes with NVDA, rather than just listening to NVDA's progress and error beeps. However, it's not too easy to do, so first I wanted to make it easier. That's why I wrote Tone Master. Just imagine how it could be for you to hear NVDA playing song by Mozzart or Beethoven, or may be greatest hits by Rolling Stones. Although the final result sounds like those ringtones on old mobile phones, it may still be funny.

Tone Master simplifies process of playing tone sequences by implementing tone data files. These files can be edited with your favorite text editor and then saved for playback with NVDA. Read on for instructions!

Tone data files

Before you can play your first musical tune with Tone Master, you have to create and load your tone data file first. Tone data files are simply text files with .tdf extension. Tone Master uses these files for processing and playing back tone sequences. To create tone data file for Tone Master to be able to play it successfully, you have to follow simple rules described below.

1. Each line in .tdf file must contain three parameters separated by colon (:). The first parameter is tone pitch, the second parameter is tone duration, and the third one is the time of silence between each tone. All three parameters are necessary to specify, otherwise Tone Master will not be able to play your tone data.
2. Pitch and duration parameters must be specified as signed integers, and the silence must be specified as floating point real value.
3. A hash sign (#) at the beginning of any line in .tdf file will be treeted as a comment and will be ignored by Tone Master.

Example: Play a sequence of 3 tones

1500:100:0.5

1000:100:0.09

500:100:0.7

In this example, the first tone in a sequence has a pitch of 1500, duration of 100 and 0.5 silence. The second tone's pitch is 1000, duration is 100, and the silence is 0.09. The last tone in a sequence has pitch 500, duration 100, and the silence is 0.7.

Note, the silence parameter is necessary to specify even if you think that it's not, because if not specified, NVDA will override the previous tone by the next one, and you will get unexpectable results. That's why I made it to be necessary.

To get more familiar with tone data files syntax, please view and try editing the example file included with this add-on. It's located in the "tones" subfolder, where all your .tdf files must be located as well.

Shortcut keys

• Alt+NVDA+T: Plays currently loaded tone data if everything is ok.
• Alt+Shift+NVDA+T: Stops playback for currently loaded tone data if any tone data is playing.
• Alt+NVDA+N: Creates and opens a new blank tone data file in Notepad for editing.
• Alt+NVDA+L: Opens a dialog that lets you choose one of your available tone data files to be loaded for playback.
• Alt+NVDA+E: Opens currently loaded tone data file in Notepad for editing.
• Alt+NVDA+O: Opens a folder with tone data files where you should also save them in order to be located by Tone Master.

Other notes

You can also create, edit and load tone data files, or open tones folder where these files are located by going into the NVDA menu, Tools SubMenu, Tone Master SubMenu.

When the dialog for creating new tone data file is displayed, type the name without .tdf extension. The extension will be automatically added by Tone Master. If no name was specified, Tone Master will use the default name "untitled.tdf". Tone Master will automatically create and load new file for you, and it will also be opened in Notepad for editing. Press Escape at the file name prompt to cancel new file creation.

Note: Tone Master uses Notepad for editing tone data files, since it comes with Windows by default and therefore any computer should have it available.

When the dialog for loading tone data file is open, use the arrow keys to select a file to load and then press Enter. Press Escape to cancel loading.

When you open a folder with .tdf files, you can then load them in your text editor for viewing or editing. However, in order to hear your results on the fly, I highly recommend you to load the file into Tone Master first if possible. Then you can edit the file, save your progress, and after each save you can use play command to hear your last result.
