Re: [orca-list] Changes/ finetuning for Progressbar Beeps



Who's got the patch, i.e. how can I test this?

Hello,

Well I think adding what Nolan is suggesting is clear and understandable
design principle. We do have clearly defined frequency and a ratio used to
derive other frequency steps.
Plus that slight improvement for musicians and people with absolute hearing
ability does also count for me.

It's very simple thing to change and if you can't accept it because of the
audible difference then please do consider it because of code readability
and clear implementation stand point.

Greetings

Peter

I think belling two beeps is too much beeping around XD.
The octave ting is not interesring to non musicals. I tested it months
ago with my girl. She didnt recogniced big differences.

I think more helpful is panning or an other idea is to bell alwas the
same Frequenzy that just get more quite. So you know how far the beep is
away from muting.

At the risk of suddently sending far too many emails on this topic, let
me try my own answer out on you ...

I think he's saying, I know I'm saying ...

Speaking is a second class choice. There's a richer, less invasive
choice that will communicate intuitively even to people who can't
explain why it communicates intuitively.

It means mapping a seris of musical intervals to a set of defined
percentage complete settings, e.g.

An arbitrary set for purposes of elucidation ...

20% e-c
40% f-c
60% g-c
80% a-c
90% b-c
100% c-c

The letter pitches are not important. The relationship from the first to
second would clearly need to be provided as specific Hz values.

I feel I should attach an mp3 or something. Trust me, it works!

Hey Fernando.

I'm a little confused. Are you saying that instead of speaking progress
bar percentages via speech-dispatcher (which Orca has done for many
years), Orca should instead speak them via espeak? Or are you saying
that Orca isn't speaking progress bars? If the latter, and if you're
sure that you have that setting enabled and have selected an appropriate
interval and source (all, current app, current window), then that sounds
like a bug to me and I'd like specific steps to reproduce the problem.

Thanks!

I remember hearing progress beeps on NVDA and also being pretty lost, as
i did not know how high they were supposed to go.

I wish both Orca and NVDA could give just a percentage via espeak, or if
beeping is a must, then alternate between current stage and final beep.

So if final beep were 400hz., then beep alternating 300hz 400hz, 310hz
400hz, 320hz 400hz, 330hz 400hz, and so forth.

Best,

Fernando

I’d like progress beeps that pan from left to right instead of using
pitch, because most of the time I don’t know exactly how high the
pitch goes.

Hello,


I have looked at the issue you have linked to and I am somewhat
shocked that Nolan's patch has been put aside with somewhat
disrespectfull attitude.


To us non musicians or not very sensitive to individual tones it
might appear as something what may not be needed however I know some
people who might really benefit from having clean predictable like
implementation Nolan has suggested.


Can you Chrys and Joanie get back to that please and reconsider it?


Greetings


Peter

Hi Joanie, Hi List,
  I did some finetuning on the progressbar beeps caused by
userrequests.
You could find them attached on that ticket:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758328
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758328>
  I made two changes:
1. make the beeps more short.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=330508
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=330508>
  2. Ignore Interval for the beeps. That only make sense for Output
that needs "time to present". People like to activate both; Beeps
for an progess gues, the voice/ braile output for precise
information in big intervals.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=330509
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=330509>
  What does others think about that here?
cheers chrys
