Re: [orca-list] suggestion: add sounds for entering/exiting browse and focus modes, turning on and off orca

I started with some prototype implementation months ago for sound icons

https://github.com/chrys87/orca-beep/tree/soundicons

maybe someone is interested in or want to help to finalize/ polish it.

 

cheers chrys

The on and off sounds seem a bit much, but as a replacement for the announcement(s) we have would make sense.
The browse/focus mode sounds would be a very good option to add, but also should be available as a replacement for verbal announcements as well as
having a silent mode and one that would have both the current announcements and the proposed sound icons.
Little bits of data like this are the perfect place to use a short soundinstead of a verbal anouncement that will usually take a bit longer to listen to
and process in the computer-user's brain.
