hi,
it will be gratefull if an app module has been written to help nvda users to deal with instant bird.
we need shortcuts to read the current message and the previous messages like miranda. i think it is more accessible than miranda. it will be also nicer if you enable the announcement of the incoming message. we can't read it till we arrow to it.

Just a little note: I think while instantbird builds on the mozilla toolkit and uses gecko to render incoming chat messages it would be best to add aria live regions support into it and no modification is required at NVDA's side.
This has already been requested and filled in the instant bird bug tracker.

Automatic reading of messages is covered by #1747, which appears to be implemented in instantbird 1.2.

Hi,
I remember that @nvdaes has developed an add-on here, that reads 1-10 messages...
However, Instantbird 1.5 was released in 2013, and now project seems abandoned...

Last news article dates from almost 3 years ago and indeed, the last version dates from much longer ago. I'm closing this for now, as I don't see any reason to add an app module for abandoned software. Having said that, if someone ever wants to extend the current appModule, feel free to file a pull request.
