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



NVDA is generating a sine wave, which is easy enough to do.  The problem is that they are doing it in C++ and 
calling it using COM.  Additionally, they’re using Windows APIs to write raw audio data to the sound card.  
So yeah, it’s using Windows specific stuff.  You’d be better off starting from scratch.

hi
I've started work on this, but it hasn't really gotten anywhere yet.
I've copied the tones.py file from  nvda's git repository, and will
work on trying to port this over to orca, it doesn't use windows
specific featuers.
Thanks

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
