Hi Roger,
This add-on uses the online dictionary https://tech.yandex.com/dictionary/
Unfortunately, I didn't find another online dictionary service with more or less adequate quotas for use by free users.
In addition, dictionary articles here are quite detailed.
But, of course, if I can find the best service - I will remake the add-on for it.
It will be enough to rewrite only two modules of the add-on (dictionary.py and languages.py).

Hi,
A long description (often shortened to "longdesc") is used by web authors to provide additional details about a web element (typically images) via a dedicated description. As such, it is employed in browse mode only.
Cheers,
Jsoeph

Hi friends
May you explain to me what long description
NVDA+d means? When I read the nvda user guide, i couldn't understand
what long description
NVDA+d means and its use.

George,

Give me a short list of examples that cover the range of formats you need for this to work with and I can tweak the regex.  Trying to explain how is not something I'm inclined to do, at least not on-group, as it's really off-topic if you get hot and heavy into regular expression syntax.

George,

         If you use either of the formats I previously mentioned, whether or not the area code is enclosed in parentheses or not, you can use the instructions that follow.  I am going to give the regular expression (regex) you will want to use first and the replacement string right afterward before giving the step-by-step instructions that would be used to do this for any regular expression and replacement.  You begin copying the regex with the opening open parenthesis and stop at the end of the line.  For the replacement, if you do not want NVDA to say, "area code," before the first three digits then you can omit those two words and start copying at the opening backslash until the end of the line.

regex: \(?(\d)(\d)(\d)\)?[ -](\d)(\d)(\d)-(\d)(\d)(\d)(\d)

 

replacement: area code \1 \2 \3 \4 \5 \6 \7 \8 \9 \10

 

Adding a Regular Expression match to the Default Dictionary

1. Hit NVDA+N,P,D,D   NVDA Main Menu, Preferences, Speech dictionaries, Default Dictionary

2. Hit ALT+A to activate the Add Button or navigate to it and activate it.

3. In the dialog that appears, paste or enter a regular expression in the Pattern edit box.

4. Paste or enter the replacement you want to hear in the Replacement edit box.  If you're using a capturing regular expression this may be a sequence of backslashes followed by the numbers of the capture groups you're using.

5. The Comment edit box should either have a comment that helps you to remember the purpose of this dictionary entry, which is preferable, or be left blank.

6. Leave the Case Sensitive checkbox unchecked.

7. The Type radio button should be set to Regular Expression.

8. Activate the OK button

Hi all!
Friends, let me introduce you an add-on that allows you to get detailed
dictionary articles for a selected word or combination of words.
Dictionary articles contain detailed information about a word, such as part
of speech, gender, plural or singular, translation options, list of
meanings, synonyms and detailed examples. Such information will be useful
for people who are learning foreign languages, or seek to use in
communication all the richness and diversity of their own language.

I have been using this add-on for a long time, but have only just finished
working on it.
This is my first NVDA add-on. I studied the code of many add-ons and used in
my work some solutions from such awesome add-ons as Instant Translate,
Remote, Developer Kit and others.

How to use:
1. First you need to select the word you are interested in.
2. Press NVDA + D twice and listen dictionary entry.

There are other functions which can be listened to by calling a short help:
1. Switch to add-on control mode via NVDA + D.
2. Press H to listen to the help message.

The add-on also has a settings dialog.

More information can be found in the Quick Dictionary add-on repository:
https://github.com/grisov/quickDictionary

You can download this add-on here:
https://github.com/grisov/quickDictionary/releases/download/v1.0/quickDictionary-1.0.nvda-addon

I will be very glad if my add-on will be useful for someone else.
And I would be interested to hear your feedback and suggestions.

Thank you for reading this message and I wish everyone a good weekend!
Good luck to all!
Oleksandr
