You can't press ALT and CTRL at the same time, and holding CTRl down
doesn't silence the progress bar. You can always use Shift+Insert+s, or
the JAWS keystroke JAWSKey+SPACE, s. It's nice not to have to mute
synth, start preview, then unmute synth.
I sent you a link to the localizable installer on 11/13. That should be
the latest except for my changes for 2.1.2RC1. There was a missing
comma in the Spanish .jsm which caused his install to fail, but I
haven't heard if he's tried it again after fixing that or not. Before
that, I posted scripts to the list on 9/29. I don't know if anyone has
tried them or not. I'm about to send you the two files I modified for
2.1.2RC1, which should work on 2.1.1 as well.
Maybe I should set up a public repo on GitHub or Google Code or
something. This e-mail thing worked for Cuong and I but maybe it's time
to rethink that. That would mean I'd have to clean up my repo structure
a bit more.

How about we advise the user to keep their finger on the ctrl key so they can stop speech if they don't want to hear JAWS babbling?
I'm looking for the latest set of scripts. I have a Windows 10 machine with JAWS 17 on it that I think might be the best baseline to start at.
Will you help me find the latest version of the scripts kind sir?
Best,
David

Subject: [audacity4blind] Silence Preview?
Hi,
I've been trying to implement a feature in the JAWS script that silences the speech that occurs when the Preview button is pressed in an effect. It's annoying at best to have JAWS babbling about the dialog that appears while previewing, and it may obscure what you want to hear in the preview.
In short: it is hard to do, and I'm wondering if an Audacity preference switch could do it better, and not just for JAWS users.
The idea is to have the script detect that previewing is starting and suppress speech of the announcement of the dialog that appears, the stop button, and the progress bar. It's difficult to detect, since previewing can be started with a keystroke with focus on any control in the dialog. I had this working in Audacity 2.1.1. I thought I had it working in 2.1.2RC1, but my initial fix also triggered in other dialogs like the Export dialog (I think). (I think I have that fixed now, but more testing will be necessary to be sure. Occasionally the Stop button is spoken, unless I'm trying to debug it!)
I first thought that this feature is something that should be done by the screen reader, but I'm now wondering if a preference option that would prevent display of the progress dialog would be better. Pressing the Preview button wouldn't do anything to the UI-- it would just start the preview. This wouldn't provide the Stop button, which I think is useful to have. The preview button could become a Stop button, but that would cause JAWS to speak. (Or the preview button could become a stop button without changing its name but that isn't really a good interface design.) I also haven't thought about this with regard to real-time previewing.
One could also use MuteSynthesizer (Shift+Insert+s), so maybe this feature isn't as needed as I thought.
What do you think?
