I think it sucks compared to the convenience of the Windows
emoji panel, and I had to sift through this huge list.
The emoji panel on Windows +dot key allows me to filter by
category and discover many new emojis.
I guess what this thread is trying to convey is that NVDA is not
announcing what's on the Windows 11 emoji panel.
I can't discuss Windows 11 and emoji, but NVDA provides a
very large
selection within the screen-reader.
New steps start on new lines:
Open the NVDA menu,
open preferences and up arrow to Punctuation/symbol
pronunciation.
Press enter.
Shift tab once to filter by.
Type the word or words you want emoji to contain as
descriptions of what
they are. If you want emoji showing different kinds of
smiling faces,
type the word smiling. If you want to limit what is being
shown in the
list more, type more descriptive words such as smiling eyes.
Tab once to get back to the list.
Look through it. If you find one you want to use press NVDA
key f9 to
set the start marker.
Move the object navigator to the right until you get to the
end of the
description.
Issue the command NVDA key f10 quickly twice. You can hold
the NVDA key
and press f10 quickly twice.
You have copied the emoji to the clipboard.
Paste it into the message where you want it.
I don't know whether you get a better selection in NVDA or
Windows or
if they are about the same.
