Presentation

This flexible add-on allows NVDA to announce the type and state of UI elements before their caption.

For example, we will hear Checkbox checked before its caption, which can be long. In dialogs with lots of checkboxes or radio buttons, this can greatly improve the efficiency of checking options or settings;

In addition, the labels of element types and states can be shortened. For “checkboxes”, you can indicate “box”, you will then hear: box checked.

At this time, the add-on only supports checkboxes, radio buttons, checkable and radio menu items. Other types of elements could be added later.

In addition, you can decide to use this add-on with settings specific to each application profile via its settings dialog.

Here is an example:

checkbox checked, Say the text of the elements by modifying their name (better for Braille), Alt+n,

Select the ad format from the items below:

Check Boxes and Radio Buttons: Collapsed Label State Type drop-down list Alt+c

Check and radio menus: drop-down list Type status reduced label Alt+m

OK Cancel

Each drop-down list contains the following options:

• Default: the add-on does not intervene for this type of element and in the current configuration profile;
• Type State Caption : for example Checkbox checked Save configuration on exit, Alt+s;
• State Caption : example: checked Save configuration on exit, Alt+s;

Keyboard shortcuts

These shortcuts, which can be modified via the Input gestures dialog, allow you to adjust the add-on to your best convenience.

• Windows+$: displays the configuration dialog for the active profile.
  This allows settings specific to each application. So be sure to first create a configuration profile for the application where you want the add-on to intervene. ;
• Shift+Windows+$ : to customize the labels of states and element types via notepad.
  After installing startBefore Caption, the add-on retrieves your system’s standard captions and saves them directly to the ini file.
  After sabving this file, you must restart NVDA or reload the add-ons.
  To reset these labels to their original values, you can delete this ini file and then relaunch NVDA. It will be recreated automatically.
  This settings file is common to all configuration profiles;
