I want to learn American Morse code, but I can't make NVDA read all the characters (self.Blind)
submitted by Nefilimulalchimist
How can I get NVDA to read my characters from the "Comparison of American and International Morse" section? This article is: $1

Is there even a way to read morse code characters with any screen reader? Might be better off just using one of those beep generator apps and typing text to have translated into morse code and hear it. Thats what I used to do for fun. Could learn the whole alphabet that way if you really tried.

A great idea. I hadn't thought of that.

You could switch to the e speak synthesiser iusually do that for reading languages it seems to recognise all languages, the problem is that that voice is still terrible to listen to I hope they make that speech synthesiser more pleasant to listen to some point

Why don't you just find a list of the characters you're trying to read from another source? I am a ham radio operator and if you're interested I can send you some study resources for at least the international code.

I know the international code. Thanks anyway. I haven't found much material like this on other sites so far. Maybe I didn't search hard enough, though.

That page is doing some strange things with CSS styling in that table. You can get NVDA to read those characters, but it doesn’t help at all because they seem to be using CSS to style each character as either a dash or dot. So the underlying character is the same, it is just a visual trick they seem to be using to make each character look different.

This doesn’t look accessible with any screen reader.

The article gives me a 404 error. Also I don't think there's much you can do, there's just some characters NVDA can't read. You could try switching to ESpeak and seeing if it reads them then but I don't think it will.
