Hi
I did not mind the idea for nvda remote. I think it was crowd
funded but there was a developer or developers who could make this
possible otherwise it could of been much longer before it went in
or could be as a add on. there must of been a bit of work to make
it possible.
could that be done for the graphics labeler? I know when they
first looked at it I think it slowed down nvda or some thing I
would have to look up the ticket to see what the comment was.
In the end the add on for nvda remote ended up in the community
but at the same time the people with the knowledge to do it should
not do it for free with some thing so complex.
It may be different for other add ons some people with the
knowledge want certain things to work and do not mind donating
there time and add on to help the community.
Food for thought or maybe they might have some thing in the
pipeline for next year? I must agree with talk back at times I do
use the graphics labeler if it is there.
At present like every one else if there are unlabled buttons the
program will get uninstalled and get a more accessible one.
I did talk to a developer that had done some thing simular but
said about the licence and free to the community but would take
time to create it but he still had to put food on the table.

it has been requested and shut down many times. For
some reason the developer seem to think it’s impossible to add
this functionality to NVDA, even though many other screen
readers have had graphics labeling for years. Kind of annoying
but what can you do?
Submit a suggestion over github, I doubt it
will pass as AI costs money, which most of us do not
have.
Take care

I posted
two or three issues already over the past several years
and nothing has been done about adding a graphics
labeler or an object labeler or a frames manager to NVDA
for making an ad on to do so. I think that NVDA should
start to get away from scripting, and start using
artificial intelligence and neural engine technology
such as is used in the new voiceover for iOS 14. That
way NVDA could start to read more things automatically
and would rely less on scripting which can easily break
when an application version changes The only other
screen meter that I know of which used a primitive kind
of artificial intelligence to read the screen in which
not which did not rely on scripts was ASAP, automatic
screen access program for Microsoft DOS made by micro
talk. that screen reader was discontinued at around the
year 2000 because windows took over. But for its time it
was the best screen reader for DOS, or the disk
operating system operating system which was available
and which was ever made. I hope soon that somebody will
at least make an ad on for NVDA which will use the free
tensorflow neural Engine technology to allow NVDA to
intelligently read the screen even if buttons and other
controls may not be accessible in the standard way using
standard accessibility measures. Voiceover for iOS can
do this even if buttons and other objects are directly
drawn onto the screen it can still identify them using
artificial intelligence technology. It is amazing! I
hope NVDA could do something similar in the future.
