Speech Recognition & Control for NVDA #12489

Open peterpacult opened 3 years ago

peterpacult commented 3 years ago

Summary:

Add ability to control NVDA with speech without an addon.

Background:

JAWS now has a speech recognition function that can be used to execute rudimentary commands. It would be helpful if NVDA had similar functionality; perhaps the Google Speech API interface could be used to control NVDA and parts of the PC with certain voice commands.

Hi, one possibility is DictationBridge. For entering text, Windows 10’s dictation feature should be enough. Thanks.

I'm afraid the DictationBridge addon is not compatible with the current NVDA versions; at least I didn't find it in the corresponding addons list ( https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/nvdapy3.en.html).

Hi, I understand, as I used to maintain the NVDA portion of DictationBridge recently, but due to life changes, I won’t be able to maintain it anymore. Thanks.
