[Trainer-Talk] For NVDA Users: New Quick Dictionary Addon

[David Goldfield]

The following message is from Oleksandr Gryshchenko who sent this 
announcement to the NVDA discussion list. It concerns a new addon for 
the NVDA screen reader. Please note that I have not yet tested or used 
this addon and I am unsure as to whether it has been vetted by the NVDA 
community.


[nvda] Introducing the Quick Dictionary add-on #addonRelease
Hi all!
Friends, let me introduce you an add-on that allows you to get detailed 
dictionary articles for a selected word or combination of words.
Dictionary articles contain detailed information about a word, such as 
part of speech, gender, plural or singular, translation options, list of 
meanings,
synonyms and detailed examples. Such information will be useful for 
people who are learning foreign languages, or seek to use in 
communication all the
richness and diversity of their own language.

I have been using this add-on for a long time, but have only just 
finished working on it.
This is my first NVDA add-on. I studied the code of many add-ons and 
used in my work some solutions from such awesome add-ons as Instant 
Translate, Remote,
Developer Kit and others.

How to use:
1. First you need to select the word you are interested in.
2. Press NVDA + D twice and listen dictionary entry.

There are other functions which can be listened to by calling a short help:
1. Switch to add-on control mode via NVDA + D.
2. Press H to listen to the help message.

The add-on also has a settings dialog.

More information can be found in the Quick Dictionary add-on repository:
https://github.com/grisov/quickDictionary

You can download this add-on here:
https://github.com/grisov/quickDictionary/releases/download/v1.0/quickDictionary-1.0.nvda-addon

I will be very glad if my add-on will be useful for someone else.
And I would be interested to hear your feedback and suggestions.

Thank you for reading this message and I wish everyone a good weekend!
Good luck to all!
Oleksandr
