Reading Talon help menu lists with NVDA
|
David Lenton
We are getting ourselves familiar with Talon functionality because my son wants to use his voice to control the computer. We can open the Talon help menu lists but NVDA does not appear to be able to read the content. We have tried the NVDA OCR function, however this does not pick help file content either. Does anyone know of a solution to this? (Window 11 Professional and NVDA 2022.3.3)David |

90% of the talon help menus are just displays of talon files. All they are doing is displaying files that end in .talon. So you can use any text editor, open the files that end in ‘.talon’, and have a screen reader read you the ‘.talon’ files. There are three separate ongoing projects that I know about to make Talon help files more accessible, which I will go into detail about later, including my own project, but here’s a place to start: The above is a condensed, annotated, and explained list of the minumum set of talon commands that, in my opinion, you need to get started. With Talon. The command set I told you to download has somewhere around 3,000 separate commands, whereas this one has about 200. Since the above link is html, organized in tables and headers, it’s accessible to Nvda. and I ran through it with Nvda a couple days ago and while I noticed a bunch of small errors I didn’t notice any big, completely show-stopping errors. I’ll explain some more ‘how to access Talon help’ resources when I get back to my main computer. - Tara
