Welcome to DictationBridge, a collection of screen reader extensions designed to interface with various dictation products.

This repository contains the DictationBridge Core, along with data needed to build JAWS scripts and/or NVDA add-on.

Note: support for Dragon NaturallySpeaking is still under heavy development.

This is the screen-reader-independent core of DictationBridge. Its primary purpose is to detect text input via Windows Speech Recognition and Dragon NaturallySpeaking, so the screen-reader-specific add-on can echo back that text.

To build the core, you need Python 2.7, a recent version of SCons, and Visual Studio 2015.

First, fetch Git submodules with this command:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Then simply run SCons.

This is the NVDA add-on package for DictationBridge. It depends on the screen-reader-independent core described above.

To build the add-on, you need Python 2.7, a recent version of SCons, and Visual Studio 2015.

First, fetch Git submodules with this command:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Then simply run SCons.

This is the Jaws scripts package for DictationBridge. It depends on the screen-reader-independent core described above.

To build this package, you need Python 2.7, a recent version of SCons, NSIS, and Visual Studio 2015 or 2017. If using Visual Studio 2017, be sure to install MFC/ATL tools.

First, fetch Git submodules with this command:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Then run:

scons
makensis installer.nsi

This will produce an installer as DictationBridge.exe.
