Yes, the problem is existence in all text editors,and we cannot edit any Chinese document with NVDA.

I see the ticket is quite old, is the version quoted in the ticket the version which first showed the issue, and it is still there now, or is the version of nvda just what was put in when the ticket was created.

Although probably not fixed in XP yet, For Windows 7 please try a development snapshot from the inputMethods branch at:
http://www.nvda-project.org/snapshots/

NV Access is currently receiving funding from organisations in both Taiwan and Hong Kong to solve these kind of issues. More funding would most certainly be welcome, especially from mainland China.

I feel very pity about funding.In Chinese,a lot of users using screen reader can not speak English,and they cannot understand what the meaning is in NVDA-project.Of course, they can not donate any funding.My English is very bad!I just know What is written in the site,and I cannot write English freely.If NVDA-Project can offer a Chinese donation's page ,and I think some people From Mainland China will offer some funding to support NVDA's development.If NVDA-Project can request a alypay, and I think it will become more easy.the page address isalypay This is a Chinese site,however, your system cannot show it.
In our country, there are no law about using software and browsing the Internet easier for blind.so There are many software that include a especial interface.We often cannot use all resources fairly.Our government don't know NVDA or screen reader at all.supporting NVDA is impossible.I'm sorry for the reason.

Has this been fixed as of 2012.3.1/2013.1?

@vgjh2005 Could you please test and let us know whether this issue still exists? If not, I suggest closing this ticket as worksforme. @ehollig

Just a friendly reminder for @vgjh2005 to test this issue as requested in #1382 (comment)

Hi:
It's still a bug.

Thanks for the update @vgjh2005. Are you still using windows XP to test this? Support for XP has now been dropped, NVDA 2017.4 will require windows 7 Service Pack 1.

Not sure if this matches the original steps to reproduce this issue, but here are my findings:

Software Versions

• Windows 10 version 1703 build 15063.674
• Microsoft Office 2013
• NVDA next-14535,3aad54e0

To reproduce

1. Open language preferences in the windows 10 settings, if necessary add Chinese (simplified)
2. In the system tray, set the input language to Chinese (simplified)
3. Open MS Word.
4. Ensure that Speak typed characters is turned on using NVDA+2
5. Press the d key, NVDA speaks d, visually a popup shows the character d and several Chinese characters with numbers next to them.
6. Press the 1 key, the first Chinese character is added to the document. NVDA speaks Chinese character
7. Press the left arrow, NVDA pronounces the Chinese character.

Expected

To be able to hear the chinese pronunciation of the characters in the popup, and to hear the character when it is entered into the document.

@feerrenrut any update on how to proceed with this issue?

I assume I tested this with espeak, it would be good to confirm that espeak itself can speak these characters outside of word. I would also suggest trying some other synthesizers. If we are sure that the synth can support the characters, then we need to investigate how to get the information out of the popup window.

@larry801, do you have any further test results / ideas as a chinese speaker? Or do you know of other people who could test this under NVDA 2019.2 RC2? Thanks.

cc: @cary-rowen could you please test if this issue is still occuring in NVDA last alpha version or NVDA 2023.1?

At least in the Simplified Chinese environment, NVDA's support for Chinese input methods cannot meet user needs.
So we specially developed the Chinese input method improvement add-on, currently this add-on is a must-install add-on for NVDA Chinese users, I hope that one day the feature of this add-on will appear in NVDA core, but it may not be easy.
I don't even understand what this Issue is talking about, so I may not be able to provide more information.
Chinese input method improvement add-on:
https://github.com/nvdacn/ime_expressive

Actually this issue is about NVDA reporting the characters while you are typing. The setting can be turned on in NVDA keyboard settings.

Regarding the addon, if the developers are interested they certainly could raise a pull request and then start a discussion with NV Access on how feasible it is to get it into the core.

Hi,

I assume this is also a problem in Windows 11? Also, could you get IME Expressive add-on into NV Access ad-on store for visibility and discoverability by Chinese IME users across the world?

Thanks.

Hi @josephsl @Adriani90

This add-on was specially developed to meet the Chinese character input needs of Chinese users, and may not meet the coding style of NVDA, at least currently.
What confuses me even more is whether this add-on will negatively impact other CJK users.
Also, I will be listing this add-on in the add-on store in the near future.

Best
Cary

I recommend close this:

1. The software version in the original description is too old.
2. I don’t think NVDA+2 should be used to meet Chinese input needs.
   Because entering a Chinese character may require multiple steps, this is not a situation that can be covered by a option. See IME Expressive

Hi,

n case IME Expressive would be a useful addition for the Core, let us know so we can go over the add-on code and suggest changes.

Thanks.
