Re: Substitute punctuation marks with sounds
Rayn Darren <rayndarren@...>
All I was able to find was the "character" option, but nothing beyond that for specific characters as Tony said, but then I've had to uninstall it as it played very poorly with my current sound card set up. If this is indeed a viable addon and will do what we've been talking about I'll get the sound card working right with it, but if not, I'm not going to go through the serious hassle of altering it.

Re: nvda with a youtube to mp3 converter program

Hello Listers,
A big “thank you” to all who tried to help. I managed to solve my problem
by reinstalling the programme. It might have been some Windows update which
corrupted one of the files which was corrected when I reinstalled the
programme.
Thanks again.

Another interesting question, for those parts that require high performance, is whether following Mozilla’s lead and writing them in Rust would be useful – possibly not, as I suspect NVDA has to interact with a lot of C++ components from elsewhere.
Rust offers various guarantees of proper memory usage (e.g., you can’t use memory after it has been freed) without resulting in performance costs, and reputedly simplifies multithreaded programming.

Re: Need urgent help with the FISA memo

Dunno what to tell you dude. It's the full text of the memo, so far as I
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
know. I've seen it on a few sites, and that's what it says. If you really want a pdf because you think that means nobody's tampered with it, then you're going to have to OCR images anyway, because if the pdf has accessible text, well who's to say that text wasn't tampered with? I'm gonna guess the memo was written on paper originally, and not in some sort of electronic format,so you're still trusting whoever converts it. If you can't be bothered to do your own searches and are just going to complain about help, well, good luck with that friend. Plus, didn't you say you saw the first page? Surely it's simple enough to compare that with the accessible text I provided from the "hack liberal website", and see if there are any alterations. I'm sorry dude, you asked for totally accessible memo you can read, and that's exactly what I gave you. It's not my problem you're throwing a fit about it. Do your own homework then.

I'd appreciate it if you find me another link or say something like, for that

If it says the full pdf version then it's very likely the full PDF version. Even so-called liberal hack web sites, as you intolerantly call them, aren't stupid. they won't damage their credibility by doing something so stupid as to show something that is available all over the net from other sources, claim it is the full version, and then change or omit information. Unlike many people, I consciously try not to live in an echo chamber. I listen to some opinions I disagree with and I don't assume dishonesty or bad intent. At times I find something I agree with and at times, I understand something better.
If you don't want to read the PDF from that liberal hack web site, then do a Google search for what you are looking for.

Hi, Important note: this will be my last post on this forum for a while, as I’m desperate to take a break from everything NVDA for a while (except for translations). Besides that: If I understand her argument, your friend prefers the core functions of NVDA to be written in C++, and let others build things on top via Python and other languages. This is called “language binding”, and this is precisely how wxPython is written: C++ core with python bindings. In case of NVDA, yes, the primary language in use is Python, but some parts (notably features that require speed) are written in C++. It is arranged that way because Python allows rapid development, but the cost, as she points out, is long-term viability in terms of maintenance. As for upgrading to Python 3: we’re getting there. A crucial dependency has just been satisfied, so it’ll be matter of time before the upgrade can commence. As for your friend: please have her email me with any questions, as well as have her CC info@... for further details. Or you can ask your friend to join nvda-devel mailing list. Cheers, Joseph

Hi all, I was talking to a friend on Facebook. She is a programmer. This went over my head. We were talking about python and NVDA. I will put right below what she said, so you can comment on it, because this is so over my head! She really wants to get involved with the NVDA project. Here is what she said. I am a fan of Python as a primary language for a system. Something like NVDA should have a C++ core with language-of-choice wrappers. Python is having trouble evolving without completely changing the language, which leaves the risk of building a future of dead, legacy libraries quite high. It reminds me of what happened to FORTRAN. Moreover, Python is joy well suited to continually running, closed loops services like NVDA would be. that said, upgrading to Python 3 is a helpful step that MUST be done. It is unfortunate that Python was the initial language of choice because this will have to be done again in the coming years. By the time all is said and done, Python will end up looking looking like "JavaScript without curly braces", which implies the question, "why not have just adopted JavaScriptNode.js in the first place?" Please explain all of this, and I hope it makes sense to you what she is saying. She is really interested in NVDA being a programmer herself. David Moore Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Re: Substitute punctuation marks with sounds

I am prety sure that this can be implemented in the addon Audiotheme 3d.

Februar 2018 00:30 An: nvda@nvda.groups.io Betreff: Re: [nvda] Substitute punctuation marks with sounds I totally agree, this is a fantastic idea for an addon! An addition would be a sound when encountering an open bracket, if in fact there is a closing one the sound would be different then a non-paired bracket. I know nothing about python and have worked very little with sound, but would love to both learn and help with this, how do we go about getting it made?

Having said that, in my opinion, that is a pretty darn cool idea for an addon. Replacing symbols, letters, or even whole words/strings with sound effects. I know JAWS has, or at least used to have, a feature like that. I had tons of fun with it. Never thought it could come into practical use though. But yeah. Certainly as a developer, trying to find stray or missing braces, brackets, parentheses, quotes, improperly escaped characters etc is very tricky, and either involves arrowing through character by character, or sit there and listen to it read the whole line including punctuation, which gets rather tedious rather quickly. Cheers. Damien. -----Original Message----- From: Tony Malykh Sent: Friday, February 02, 2018 10:16 PM To: nvda@nvda.groups.io Subject: [nvda] Substitute punctuation marks with sounds Hello all, Is there a way to substitute punctuation marks with custom sounds? I am a developer and often times I have to listen to tongue twisters of punctuation marks, like "left bracket right brace left paren ..." I wish to replace all these parens and brackets with sounds. Is there a way to do so in NVDA? Thanks Tony

Re: Need urgent help with the FISA memo
Gene
Then you'll have to suffer the consequences of your
arbitrariness. I almost never make such comments but telling someone to
try again after they provide you a perfectly good link in the way you did,
the tone of the way you did it is demanding and errogant. Try
yourself. And if you refuse to use Google, what's Google going to do, bite
you? you don't even need an account. Just search for what you are
looking for and don't use Google for general searches if you don't want
to. But I told you the way to see pdf documents in web readable
versions. If you don't want to use the tools available to make things
accessible, I'm sorry but that's your problem.

The full text of such a release will be available all over. Do a google search for what you are looking for. If you can't easily find a nonPDF version, then use the Google results to have it shown as html in your browser. Most Google results have something under the result. First, there is the address the result leads to. then if you are blocking scripts or have them disabled, you will see a cached link. Folow it to see the browser readable version.
If you are not blocking scripts and they are not disabled, you will see something that may vary depending on which browser you are using. It may be a button. Whatever it is, activate it. Look at what you see after doing so by down arrowing and up arrowing, if necessary. You will find something you can activate that says cached. This will show the browser readable conversion.
