NVDA Not Talking
Also, you might have speech mode set to beeps somehow, that's what the high-pitched noise makes me think of. Hit NVDA-s, and speech mode will toggle between talk, beeps, and off. My other thought is t

Compiling a Braille output table
NVDA uses Liblewis for braille. I'll bet you can find stuff on compiling an output table for that. http://liblouis.org/documentation/liblouis.html

NVDA add-ons resources differences?
Basically? I think because there's a process to go through to get your addon added to the NVDA Community Addons site, your first link, and some people don't want to do that. You had, probably still do

Hi all. I'm having the issue where I've got numbers showing up in Thunderbird, e.g. "unread 0 blah". This post seems to suggest I can remove it. https://nvda.groups.io/g/nvda/message/89434?p=%2C%2C%2C

eBook Readers with NVDA
If by "hard books pages" you mean physical books, you need a scanner, and something that will do OCR, optical character recognition.

How does NVDA make its GUI accessible
Briefly though, if you mean how does it make a Python GUI coding environment accessible, I don't think it does. I'm pretty sure it was written in a text editor like Notepad. VS Code is accessible and

Making NVDA automatically read non-English characters.
eSpeak does read them, if you arrow character by character, but they read as "letter 16CA", i.e. the hex values of the Unicode characters. That addon actually did the trick, it read it and put a copy
