NVDA Community Addons/ addons/ Text Information

Text Information

This add-on allows for getting information based on selected text. Simply select something and use a keystroke to get information. You should, hopefully, be presented with something that fits the context.

keystrokes

note: These keystrokes asume your using the english keyboard layout, and might not work otherwise. If there's a problem, first try changing them in the input gestures dialog.

  • NVDA+; (semicolon): provides information based on the text that's selected
  • NVDA+SHIFT+; (semicolon): provides information about text on the clipboard
  • NVDA+control+; (semicolon): speaks the last reported information. Press twice to get it displayed in a dialog.

supported services

Currently, the following features are supported:

  • IP address information using the IPInfoDB API. An API key is provided, however I by no means guarantee it'll always work. You can generate your own, and enter it at the top of init.py, replacing the old one.
  • english dictionary definitions from the princeton wordnetweb. Note: these definitions are not the best, and the database lacks definitions for simple words, e.g. could, you, etc.
  • ISBN lookups via the google books API
  • credit card type verification

Note: Regular expressions are used to verify data. There are currently some that aren't used, phone numbers and emails. This might be changed in the future.
