Comment 1 by jteh on 2014-01-08 22:48 We don't consider pronunciation, add-ons, etc. to be "settings". I guess I can understand why a user might want to do that. The problem is that bringing up a dialog when that command is activated might not be ideal; e.g. if the user has broken speech configuration and needs to reset their configuration blind.
Comment 2 by The_Dark_Man on 2014-01-09 00:25 This is a good example. I want the possible to reset the pronunciation of symbols, because every symbol has a category. I can change this categorie in the voice settings.
Comment 3 by zahari_bgr on 2015-03-04 04:56 Hi, may be this ticket could be limited to resetting the pronunciation of symbols and then all other cases could be addressed separately?
@jcsteh By 'reset settings', am I correct in assuming that the 'Reset configuration to factory defaults' option is being referred to?
I presume so.
this might be considered when solving #6648.
Renamed the issue for clarity. I would also note that I have created #11802 to propose a "reset to factory defaults" button for that settings screen, and I believe the same thing could work here. That is, a "Reset to factory defaults" button on the punctuation / symbol pronunciation screen. This would also bring these settings into line with the "Reset to factory defaults" button on the input gestures screen.
Additionally, I propose (in #6648) that when implementing a confirmation to reset NVDA to factory defaults, options be added to that confirmation to also reset punctuation / symbol pronunciation (as well as speech dictionaries and gestures).
BUMP.
I just had to talk a user on a mailing list through manually deleting his symbol dictionary, because of the lack of a simple "reset to defaults" button and confirmation in the symbol dictionary dialog. The lack of this feature is really silly.
Prompted by a conversation in the user group: https://nvda.groups.io/g/nvda/message/100205
This is now one of the few blocks of configuration options not easily able to be reset to factory defaults.
The way I think this should work is:
Reported by The_Dark_Man on 2014-01-08 20:58 When I reset the settings NVDA doesn't reset all things in the menu settings. It doesn't reset the pronunciation of words and symbols. Before the user reset the settings there should be a question dialog box with checkboxes for pronounciation of words and symbols.
