I realize this. My question is can I make an app module such as the sleep function app module… import appModuleHandler class AppModule(appModuleHandler.AppModule): sleepMode = True But for the speak typed characters function. I have tried many ways of doing this and they have all failed. This would have to override the global function that the NVDA +2 is set too.

However, it is a global setting that affects all applications, whereas sleep mode is set separately for each application.

Is the speek typed character the same way? like the sleep function.
