Locked Exporting NVDA features to Orca
|
Now I am locking this topic, as I do not want to go down the rabbit hole of digging into the internals and specific features of Orca on this group, which is entirely off-topic on this group.
If there is a wish to have an extended discussion regarding cross-pollination between NVDA and Orca, please open it and conduct it on the NVDA Chat Subgroup or elsewhere: The Chat Subgroup exists for non-NVDA-specific conversations regarding any topic by members of the NVDA Group community who wish to indulge in same. Most topics tend to be technical questions about specific programs and how to use them, but there are social topics as well. You must be registered as a member of the NVDA Main Group before you can join the Chat Subgroup. Membership in the Chat Subgroup is entirely optional.
To join: chat+subscribe@nvda.groups.io
To post: chat@nvda.groups.io
To unsubscribe: chat+unsubscribe@nvda.groups.io
To receive a message containing the group description, and a list of these commands: chat+help@nvda.groups.io
To stop receiving messages via email (you may still read messages on the Web): chat+nomail@nvda.groups.io
This can also be used to put a vacation stop on group messages, then use one of the addresses below to resume delivery in the format of your choice.
To receive each group messages individually: chat+single@nvda.groups.io
This is the default delivery format when you initially subscribe unless you send a message to one of the addresses that follows to change it. You can change delivery format at will by sending a message to any one of the delivery format addresses.

As of now both are programmed with the same python version, E.G. Python 3? Does ORKA have additional features that we want to add in NVDA and vice-versa?

I'm not going to lock this topic, because to my mind it is NVDA related. But, it's NVDA-related in a way not really suited to an end user venue like this one.
As bizarre as it may seem, I'd advise you to take this to the Chat Subgroup, where there are no topic restrictions (within the realm of decency) and where a long and complicated conversation about the "under the hood" bits involved in such an effort can be discussed at length, and with as many members from the group as are interested in working on such an effort involved. I'd move this topic there if I could, but Groups.io does not offer a mechanism to do so. I suspect that there is a small, but significant, minority of the membership who might take a keen interest in an effort such as this. For those that don't, and are already members of the Chat Subgroup, that's what the "Mute this Topic" link at the end of messages is for. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 It’s hard waking up and realizing it’s not always black and white. ~ Kelley Boorn

For example, specifying line and page lengths, better handling of websites.

Orca has many fewer developers than NVDA, but since they are both written in Python much code could be copied without great alterations. They are both under the GPL (GNU General Public license). John On Wed, Oct 21, 2020 at 09:38:45AM -0400, Andy B. wrote:
