Hi,

This was brought up on NvDA development and add-ons lists:

There are code paths/fragments that are marked as deprecated and to be removed at a future date. I believe this year would be a good time to do it.

The deprecated code paths include:

• synthSettingsRing.i18nName (Synth handler/settings ring: look up normalized names of common voice settings to help with translation contexts #5185)
• config.validate (Remove deprecated validation function. #5932)
• speech.reason constants (imported directly from control types now)
• synthDriverHandler.SynthDriver: speakText and speakCharacter methods.
• config.save
• Others.

Thanks.
