Description

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

When using some bluetooth headphones, speech output is not heard after NVDA has some moments of silence.
The headphones appear to go into standby and miss the start of speech.
Keeping NVDA active is tiring, missing speech is annoying and confusing.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add an option to play silence to keep NVDA active.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Use bluetooth audio add-on.

Additional context

  • This is a problem that is likely to be common to many users, bluetooth headsets / airpods are very common.
  • This feature is available in Jaws since 2020.
