Well I did this with Newsbridge and for a friend for guide, however it was a while ago. I seem to recall hand crafting an add on which contained the executable name or names  in it and to tell nvda to go silent when that was the dominant or freground task. Does anyone recall the blog post on this that I followed at the time. it was very easy using details from the nvda/F1 log to find out the names of the exe files.

Subject: [nvda] Hybernating nvda when using self-voicing programs

Hi,  This just came up on a new clean install.  I want nvda to stop speaking when kurzweil 1000 is active because k1000 is self-voicing.  How do I arrange this?

Thanks,

You can do this with configuration profiles.

1. Start the program you want NVDA to be silent in

2. Press NVDA+N to open the NVDA menu.

3. Press C for Configuration profiles.

4. Press ALT+N to create a new profile.

5. Give the profile a name (eg the name of the program).

6. Press TAB once to "use this profile for" which is a set of radio buttons.

7. Press RIGHT ARROW to move to "Current application".

Hi Quentin,

Thank you so much for these directions. I have wanted to create new configurations for other applications with NVDA, and you really helped me understand how to this. You help me so much, Quentin, I just want you to know that, and thank you for all of your time and knowledge that you provide us on this list.

You explained this creating a new profile so simply, somehow, the light came on LOL! I am going to practice with this. Have a great one.

Oops, sent too soon :)

 

I was going to add:

 

8. Press ENTER to create the new profile.

9. Press NVDA+CONTROL+S and set the synthesizer to "No speech".

Now you'll have no speech in that profile.  If you want to change that down the track, you either:

- can go into the NVDA configuration profile again (repeat steps 1 - 3 from the previous message) and delete the profile you created, or remove the trigger.

- Or you can go into the app, press NVDA+CONTROL+S then press UP ARROW to move through the synthesizers or HOME to jump straight back to eSpeak.  Note that you won't have any speech until you press ENTER to set the synth to something other than no speech.

Regards

 

Quentin.
