Hi, subject pretty much says it all.

I installed kodi, and the screen reader add on.

I'm getting no speech from it.

Anyone on this list use it, or happen to no of a list for other kodi users?

I'd be wary of anything cross platform myself. Most of it tends to be self voicing if that is in the spec, otherwise it often does not adhere to any standard of accessibility on any of the platforms it runs on.

I've never tried this media software myself, didn't it used to be called different name or did I dream that bit?

Hi,

Brian: It was called xbmc before. Through a plugin, it can output to various screen readers in Windows, Mac and Linux. It also supports SAPI5 in Windows.


Matt: Press F12 once or twice until you hear two beeps (if Kodi does this sound when it starts, ignore this last sentence). If it still doesn't work when pressing the arrow keys, you may have SAPI5 as your speech engine, and a voice which is not working as the selected voice.

Cheers,

Sukil

Is their a way to re-enable the adons or is it better to install the older version and upgrade?

I've done some searching, and it appears that the latest version of kodi, 17.0 disables unnone addons now, by default.

That's whay it wasn't giveing me no speech.

Once gotten running, kodi works great.

It takes some getting used to as the commands are different, but is
wonderful for audio and video.

Try doing a complete uninstall, install version 16 using the install
with screen-reader add-on option and the screenreadeer should be
activated.
You can then change to whatever synth you are using nvda with.

I agree generally about the problems of cross platform, but this is
not the case with kodi.
