It’s just a key command away. Yep, that is exactly what I meant, on the Mac side you can have a rule to turn off VoiceOver for certain apps. >> 4.

Also, I wonder if it can be made to work with DecTalk on Windows? So, talking to some NVDA plugin authors now about if creating a plugin that connects to a FIFO is possible and if it could also route to one side or the other for notifications. Regarding DecTalk, since this is sort of the official solution, I think after I finish SharpWin 1.0, which went way better than expected, maybe shipping 1.0 tomorrow, I will be playing with getting dtk-soft to work on MacOS first, then I will explore Windows a bit. Just want to get solid native support built out that is long-term supportable using the common languages (C#, Swift) and the common libraries (.net, avspeechsynth). > >> 5.
