NVDA Add-ons for Foobar2000/FreeCommander XE?
Carlos
Hello All:
Is anyone on this list aware of add-ons for Foobar2000, and FreeCommanderXE? Apologies to the moderators for posting this question here. However! When I asked this question on the chat list a few months ago I received no response! Thank You! In advance for all your responses and help! 👍 -- Carlos - Windows 10 Home, 64 Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 - NVDA Version 2019.3

Add-on Updater 20.02.2
#addonrelease
Hi all,
Add-on Updater 20.02.2 is now available. Hopefully this release will be the last time you’ll get to see add-on compatibility notice after installing it.
Also, this is both a stable and an experimental release: if you are using recent NVDA alpha snapshots (not many of you should), you’ll find that add-on updates cannot be installed if using Add-on Updater. Add-on Updater 20.02.2 will disable compatibility range check so any add-on update can be installed. If this experiment is successful, it’ll show up to everyone in March.
IMPORTANT: version 20.02.2 might be the last version to support NVDA 2019.2; version 20.03 will require 2019.3 or later.
Cheers, Joseph

Re: MP3 Direct Cut Chattering too Much with NVDA Add-On
That should have been, "Looked at its configuration in the NVDA settings panel," which is where they appear to have been subsumed since NVDA 2018.2

Re: MP3 Direct Cut Chattering too Much with NVDA Add-On
Have you looked in the Help (NVDA+H) for the Add-On or its settings & configuration panel?

MP3 Direct Cut Chattering too Much with NVDA Add-On
Rich DeSteno
I just changed computers to Windows 10 and installed MP3 Direct Cut version 2.28 with the NVDDA add-on 19.12 from the NVDA add-on page. Unlike my previous setup, this add-on chatters constantly with updates of the time elapsed as the MP3 plays. It sounds like it announces the time every second, which of course, is way too often. How do I silence this aspect of the add-on?

I've had to do trial and error until I found a letter pattern that gave me the actual pronunciation I wanted for a low frequency word. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Power is being told you're not loved and not being destroyed by it. ~ Madonna

Hi all,
I am trying to get some info from a field on the page but it says to use the mouse to view. I have looked at the object navigation methods after the suggestion on another list but I still can't figure this one out.
If there are any hams on this list who use the qrz.com site and know how to get the email address of someone on qrz.com using NVDA I sure would appreciate some help.
Thanks. -- Dan Beaver (KA4DAN)

Along the lines of the discussion on the list...
All I did was install a portable copy of NVDA 2019.2.1, and, install the speechPlayerInEspeak add-on under it. Then, under that portable copy installation, I browsed to the following relative path: \userConfig\addons\speechPlayerInEspeak\synthDrivers\espeak-data\voices\!v From there, I copied the file called edward over to the following path, which falls under my actual installed copy of NVDA 2019.3 rc1: C:\Program Files (x86)\NVDA\synthDrivers\espeak-ng-data\voices\!v It did prompt me to continue with administrator privileges when trying to copy the file under program files, but, that's standard. Anyway, when I now select the eSpeak-NG synthesizer, I can now select the edward variant from the list. Now, I still myself prefer the normal eSpeak-NG gene variant, but, HTH Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA "...resistance is futile...but, acceptance is versatile..."

Re: Question for NVDA Compiler Team?
To be honest, I don't see it dieing even if it did drop out from release even now. For starters, nvda's really strong point is that it relies a lot on in built things from the os. So if its got a problem, chances are your windows has a problem or your hardware has a problem, ie it will effect more than just nvda. Its written in a really good scripting language. With bgt and the false positive thing, and all sorts of things if anything is to get gleened from this, any potential programmer will now know that python is rock solid for writing a screen reader and thats no mean feet. If it can run something as important as a screen reader and plugins for it then a game from blind to sighted or anything else for that matter is possible. Nvda just works out the box web related things, and since just about everything is chrome engine based these days even down to a lot of the newer cloud based apps nvda will work with it. True there are cases for using comercial software but that no longer extends to the average user. Naturally nvda like everything about will have its limitations, those limitations in my experience have to do with some of the older stuff which is not web enabled and I have a bit of that here and a few other things but for the most part it just works. Nvda does not rely on drivers that need to run at startup or anything. The only extra in a system for nvda is its service and that has not impaired users that are sighted as I have systems that I run nvda with sighted users so. It seems to get round display issues and a few others to. I am having a big issue with a program I am testing, yes its another reader, and that one has issues with my amd display but also a few issues with intel ones with accessing a certain menu, the start one. Nvda doesn't care what drivers are installed or what is loaded, it just works. Nvda doesn't care about anything bar itself. Using internal libraries for its synths makes it a really fast option. No third party synthesiser managers and video intercepts. Opensource for the most part bar those addons like extra voices needing cash. And I have had it in situations working with speech where a video card on a system was completely broken and couldn't process video at all. It also does not need a screen to use it or anything. I maintain systems without a screen attached.

For the benefit of others who might have trouble with Vocalizer with the new VDA 2019.3.1, here’s my log; with the Compac English voices Rui shared on here, no luck either; the Vocalizer menu doesn’t show either nor do the voices themselves show up within the Synth menu.

The period key not speaking
Hi Group,
Since I upgraded to 2019.3.1 the key for period is not speaking. There is no issue with other punctuation keys. Additionally NVDA does not read the word 'period'. What could be the problem?

Re: Speech on demand addon for NVDA, and a bug in Microsoft office

That may be from the application itself, but I
think errors generally regarding an application come from Windows. If
something crashes, Windows informs you of the error.

Microsoft office Makes sense. To be honest, key conflicts never crossed my mind, because the majority of shortcuts that NVDA use I've only really used in screen readers, but of course there are some keys that aren't specifically tied to the NVDA modifier and so that could cause problems. The other thing that confused me is that sleep mode must be process specific rather than window specific, because if I activate sleep mode (for test purposes) in my email client (Thunderbird), sleep mode remains in the message list and in the message reading window as well, so I think it would also remain asleep during errors or other dialogs coming from the application.
