improvements in Punctuation/Symbol documentation in User Guide #4504

Open nvaccessAuto opened 10 years ago

nvaccessAuto commented 10 years ago

Reported by blindbhavya on 2014-09-29 17:10 An exerpt from the User Guide is below: Punctuation/Symbol Level Key: NVDA+p This allows you to choose the amount of punctuation and other symbols that should be spoken as words. For example, when set to all, all symbols will be spoken as words. This option applies to all synthesizers, not just the currently active synthesizer. In my opinion, it would sound better if it were to be reworded as Punctuation/Symbol Level Key: NVDA+p This combo box allows you to choose the amount of punctuation and other symbols that should be spoken as words. For example, when set to all, all symbols will be spoken as words. This option applies to all synthesizers, not just the currently active synthesizer. Note: You may customize the different punctuation/symbol levels to include the punctuation and symbols of your choice through the Punctuation/Symbol Pronunciation dialog under the Preferences submenu about which you will know more in an upcoming section of the User Guide. You may reword the note, to make it brief and concise, but in my opinion that point should be made.

This combo box

If you use the key (NVDA+p), you're not using a combo box. This paragraph is meant to apply to both the combo box and the key command, so the combo box should not be explicitly mentioned. Changes: Milestone changed from None to next

@josephsl I think you wanted to make some improvements to the userguide. Are you still planning to do it? Or should I raise a pull request and include this small note to chapter 11.1.2 to the punctuation?

josephsl commented 5 years ago

Hi, I’d defer that for now until we get consensus about emoji and symbol levels. Thanks.

As Joseph indicated, Emojis should also be mentioned in this section of the user guide, in particular, that the punctuation / symbol level needs to be set to "Some" or higher to hear them.

@Adriani90 You seemed to indicate interest in raising a pull request for this ticket in https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/4504#issuecomment-451576979. Gently pinging you for updates.

Adriani90 commented 4 years ago

@Qchristensen my understanding is that emojis are always spoken, irespective of the symbol level. Is this correct?

Qchristensen commented 4 years ago

Emoji's are set to symbol level "none" so yes they are always spoken. (You could change it in the punctuation / symbol pronunciation dialog, but you'd need to do it for all emoji).
