Re: [orca-list] beeps on progress bar updates, thoughts?

Agreed if this was a one or the other question, but I think this would be relatively easy compared to some major new accessibility improvement, perhaps doable by someone who would or could not do any game changing improvement to overall or application specific accessibility. Yes, I seldom think about not having this, but in some situations having beeps could make for a more efficient experience.

I would not object to this as a plugin-type feature but, personally, I would a thousand times rather the 
concentration be on improving Orca performance and expanding the number of applications that are accessible 
through it to us.  For me, this is a nice-to-have and not a need-to-have.

What does NVDA use? It's python unless something has changed in the last while since I've been using it 
enough to take a good look at things.

    Hi,
    I would also like to see this in Orca. Unfortunatelly, I can't think
    about good sound generator in python except for something from Scipy or
    Numpy.

      hi all
      I've been wanting this feature for a bit,  but I'm not sure if
      anyone
      else wants it. One feature of nvda I do like, is the ability to beep
      on progress bar updates instead of speaking. I'd like something like
      this in orca, but don't know how easy or hard this would be to
      implement. It's worth noting that if this does happen, it will
      supplement and not replace speaking on progress bar updates. Does
      anyone have any opinions on this? I thought about eventually having
      a
      shortcut, probably bound to orca+p to switch between speaking of
      progress bar updates, the default, to beeping, to both beeping and
      speaking, to off. This might have to be different on laptop mode
      layouts, I'm not sure if orca+p is used for something. Is there a
      tutorial on the web somewhere I can look at to implement? I can
      write
      this myself if it's not too difficult. I don't know how to call orca
      settings functions to add this to the gui preferences, and to bind
      it
      to a keyboard shortcut. Is there good orca documentation on this?
      This would, of course, have to be reconfigurable by the user in
      orca's
      keyboard shortcut settings
      I was picturing messages such as, speak on progress bar updates,
      beep
      on progress bar updates, beep and speak ... etc, and finally, no
      progress bar updates.
      Thanks
      Kendell clark
