Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As I am a non-English user, I have to rely heavily on the character description function of NVDA, i.e. pressing numpad 2 twice to report the character description of character at current cursor focus.
Please imagine that, typing a piece of article and you have to press numpad 2 twice in almost every word is a nightmare.
In fact, I have been using the addon enhance Phonetic reading for years, but I have contacted the addon author several times, hope that the author can make the addon compatible with latest nvda version, but I have not received any feedback from the author.
As this function is really key to my daily usage, I hope nvda can one day add this function to the core application.

Describe the solution you'd like

  1. when user moves the cursor, both edit or review cursor, e.g. pressing right arrow
  2. after certain delay, e.g. after user defined number of seconds, nvda report character description of the character in focus automatically
    e.g. for English character, pressing arrow key may cause nvda to report a alpha automatically
    e.g. for non English character that has more than one character description, like Chinese, nvda can add a user defined variable to set the maximum number of character description to be automatically spoken
