Re: NVDA addon development beginner
Hello, There is a good free book available on git hub. It is called dive into python 3. It is completely free. Just do a search for the title of the book and it should be easy to find.
Greg Wocher
Hi, I recommend starting at python.org’s python documentation (look up 3.7, not 3.8 yet). Cheers, Joseph Thanks brian and Josep, Josep sir what is best website source to learn python 3. Thanks Hi, Brian gave you the subscription info for at least one development list. My advice is: Before you learn NVDA add-on development, learn Python 3 first. You need to have a solid grasp of at least intermediate Python features before you can say you are ready to write NVDA add-ons. Concepts you need to learn include classes, modules, functions, imports, and class attribute access/modification. Cheers, Joseph Hi guys, I am interested in study development of NVDA addons. I have basic knowledge of Java programming. I know for NVDA development I need knowledge of python programming It is possible to learn python online?
I have read nvda addon development guide little bit. Anyone can send link for all essential softwares for download directly. Another help, any one beginner/professional in python or nvda addon development is available in this group? So that i can contact him personally for my help. Thanks in advance Regards,
Ramesh

Thanks for the clarification.
That's precisely the reason I chose to use the Default Dictionary over the Voice Dictionary, as I suspect that this issue crosses multiple OneCore voices and presume that "un-" and "re-" prefixes on verbs will not be read with the hyphen pronounced when doing read-all for any synth. I could be utterly wrong, and would love to have confirmation or refutation.
It's often a matter of what synths and voices you're using and whether a change to the Default Dictionary screws something up for one (or more) of the synths/voices you use regularly while fixing something only for one. Trial and error . . .

Speak On supports Daisy through its Audio Books app but I don’t know about XML 5 but if somebody sent me a sample I could try it and see. Speak On is self-voicing much like Kurzweil so you would not use a Screenreader with it as it is controlled just as if you were using a screenreader. Isaac told me that he has updated the NVDA and Speech Player addons to be compatible with the latest version of NVDA but I don’t think they have been published yet. As I understand it the NVDA addon simply mutes NVDA whilst Speak On is in Focus David Griffith

important brouser update notice
Hi all.
This stuff just came from my winaero posting.
According to winaero at least, it appears that due to the virus, there are a few pauses.
Firstly, edge, and chrome are not going to recieve any updates at least till this virus goes away.
So while there will be security and stability updates no new versions.
Next, the insiders group has a new windows 1909 and 1903 update in fast ring this is usually not mentioned as such on winaero but still.
This could signal another optional.
Point is, if you want 81.0 on chrome you will need to get it from beta if not, well you may want to use something else.
In addition mozilla is reenabling old ssl/tls 1.1 and 1.0 while this virus is on because some sites will not be updated just yet to the new 1.2 standard.

Speak On was developed in the UK so the only direct connections it has to download is content from the RNIB eText and Audio Newsagent service and it also connects directly to TuneIn Radio if you have an account with them. However it does have a “Virtual Reader” function which interacts with the automatic eText digital content generated by for Newspapers and Magazines in the UK which makes for a more pleasant reading experience. If Newsline produces material in ePub2 format then it may be worth importing the content into Speak On and try reading it with the RNIB eText Newsagent app anyway to see if this provides a good experience. If you wanted to do this you would need to first of all add the RNIB eText app from the add plugins section of the Tools menu and then place your Newsline content, assuming it is epPub2 into the Current Reading directory under the RNIB etect directory under My Speak On media folder. Of course you can also read the ePub also using Speak On’s eBook function – one of the worst decisions Isaac took was to name this app Text Publications which disguises it utility as an eBook reader.

My actual Podcasts on Speak On are being distributed by Talking Computers on a monthly basis and will appear on the Speak On website a month later but you can find all the recordings below on SendSpace links which will hopefully not be an issue. If there is an issue then I will try and put them also on Open drive.
The main Speak On app is being continuously maintained by Isaac the Program developer though he has no intentions to do major revisions of the app.
The series is not complete as there will be further Podcasts on the RNIB Daisy magazine Service, using the Podcasts app and the Music app to follow.
I actually intend to replace and re-record the eBook Podcasts as half - way through the volume increases which is a little distracting.

Re: irrelevant information
While Window-Eyes, like JAWS, or VoiceOver, or TalkBack, or other screen readers occasionally get passing mention here during discussions, generally as a "compare and contrast" for a wanted but missing feature, they are not allowed as primary topics. It would be foolish to even try to enforce some strict decree that any other screen reader, whether currently supported or obsolete, absolutely cannot be mentioned. This complaint seems to me to be a solution in search of a non-existent problem. The readership of this group, and other blind technology groups, is acutely aware that Window-Eyes is not a currently supported product, but that there are also some who have it that continue to use it and that the odd, occasional question will arise. Asking questions about how to use Window-Eyes in the NVDA Group is off-topic, but mentioning a feature it had that NVDA does not, for example, and asking whether said feature might be in the pipeline is perfectly allowable. --

For Braille readers, even though some of the paragraph breaks are weird, I'd suggest bookworm. And, best part? Any braille coder can code better support into the software because it's open source. The initial homepage is below. Yeah, Chris stopped updating is Q software ages ago. For now, this one is being maintained.

Yes, I'd like a decent reader for braille, as well, because sometimes large books will either be completely unresponsive in things like adobe reader, or cause it to crash entirely. Epub is good too. I'll have to try that one from the Windows store possibly.
