Awesome NVDA addons. (self.Blind)
submitted by bradley22
Hi, for those of us that use NVDA; I thought we could post our favorite addons here.
I'll start with one of mine: sound manager. It allows you to manage sounds like volume, Firefox, chrome, discord, basicly if anything has sounds, this will let you manage them.
You can find the addon here: https://github.com/yplassiard/nvda-soundmanager
It's a github link so if anyone has any issues, let me know.
I really feel like this addon, even though it is a small function, really will help people in their day to day lives.

"Input lock" helps me avoid brushing my touchpad with my hand and doing crap by accident, "Resource Monitor" is great for on the fly checking changes in computer specs like used RAM, CPU, and HDD space, "Automatic Output for Interactive Fiction Interpreters" (ridiculous name I know) lets me play those awesome old text adventures in various formats, and obviously "speech history review and copying" is just amazing and great for any notifications and alerts I've missed, grabbing debugging text, ETC. I also like "Zoom Enhancements".

I like winwizard. Allows you to hide the foreground window and retrieve it at a keypress. Speech history. Remote. The timezone addon, which allows you to set timezones and check what time it is there.

Speech history is a neat idea, but I begrudge having 3 shortcuts taken up. If there were a general copy last-spoken text option that'd be nice. I have remapped history's shortcuts to nvda+alt+left and right square bracket; I use f12 a lot for save as and accessing web developer consoles.

I quite liked "text information". Having a dictionary definition of a word right within NVDA - therefore essentially from whatever I'm writing - is really cool and surprisingly useful.
I also use MS Outlook for work - the "Outlook extended" add on is super too. I've saved much embarrassment by pressing alt+3 before I send an email.
"input Lock" is another I like, I know I can lock my whole system but sometimes that stops streaming audio etc.
