As mentioned earlier, I am having to rely full time on headphones to use my computer, and I believe many NVDA users may be using headphones or earphones pretty often.
Personally, I don't find the various souns of NVDA too pleasant, if not sometimes unpleasant...
The Start and Exit tones are pretty simple, meaningful with their ascent and descent, and still decent, however, I truly dislike the focus mode and browse mode sounds, particularly the former. I don't extensively use snapshots so don't mind the Error sound's presence.
Could all the above four, at least the two extremes, be replaced with more pleasant and natural auditory indications? There are several complaints about the robotic nature of ESpeak itself, not me though, but that is beyond NVDA's help and control, but, could this audio area have some scope for enhancement?
I don't have any suggestion samples, however, if anyone does, please do share.
I try to listen to computer audio in my headphones at the bare minimum for long term safety, but, the few yet very frequent NVDA sounds just aren't my liking.
P.S. I have heard JAWS' forms mode and the other browse mode equivalent mode sounds, they are pretty good, much better than NVDA's, just saying, I don't necessarily want them to be copied or such.
