an independent option for spelling rate

Open nvaccessAuto opened this issue 14 years ago • 8 comments

Reported by fatma.mehanna on 2011-03-01 21:09 i'm asking if that's possible to make an independent option for spelling rate for the current TTS we use. as some TTS spell very very slowly

Strangely, Comment 1 is not present but Comment 2 is. Could this potentially be a Trac to Github transition glitch? @jcsteh @feerrenrut

I assume this was left out on purpose, comment 1 was just someone being added to the "watch list".

Coming back to this, I assume this would depend on #4877

I don't really understand what is requested here. When I change the speech rate for eloquence synthesizer, the speech rate for eSpeak does not change. So, as far as I understand, the user is facing problems with current tts. Changing the rate for this tts is independent already.

@Adriani90 NVDA should spell words slower than the normal speech. This helps while proove reading.

@bdorer do you mean the spelling rate when selecting a word and pressing nvda+shift+s twice?

Currently following spelling commands are available (using keyboard laptop layout):

  • nvda+shift+s twice: spell selected text
  • NVDA+c twice: spell text copied to clipboard
  • NVDA+l twice: spell current line
  • NVDA+shift+o twice: spell current object under the nvda cursor
  • nvda+shift+dot twice: spell line under the NVDA cursor

cc: @CyrilleB79 in case I forgot a spelling command maybe you can complete the list?

It doesn't matter what you are spelling. The author wants to be able to spell text with other speed while reading. E.G. you read your text with a speed of 80, but text will be spelled with a speed of 60.
