Comment 1 by jteh on 2014-11-09 22:06 Technical: The issue is that the label of a key is just communicated normally via the name property, which means it's just spoken normally. We really want it to be spoken using speakSpelling instead when it's just a single character. For now, the only way we could do this would be special support in speakSpelling. |

Hi, no change from last time – ideally, symbols should be announced as characters while tapping around the touch keyboard. Thanks.

Hi,
As NVDA can announce non-alphanumeric keys while speak typed chars is on, I believe this should also be extended to touch keyboard on Windows 8/8.1. That is, regardless of whether typed chars should be spoken or not, a touch user using a touch keyboard on tablets such as Lenovo Yoga, MS Surface and such should be able to hear whether the character under his or her finger is an alphanumeric char or not. As of now, while using touch keyboard, only certain keys such as letters, numbers and some punctuation are announced thanks to hover up gesture.
A possible implementation strategy might be to add a check in hover up gesture to announce the key under a user's finger if we're working with Touch and Handwriting Panel (taptip.exe).
Thanks.
