Outspoken NVDA addon deprecated
Describe the solution you'd like
Control types should be able to have sounds assigned to them, so that if a user moves focus to a button or edit control, NVDA simply replaces the spoken description of the control with the designated sound. Another option would be to get the coords of the control, and optionally use Windows Sonic for Headphones to show where the control is onscreen, allowing the user to form spacial awareness of the applications they use.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The only real alternative is the Unspoken NVDA addon, which is no longer maintained.
Additional context
Perhaps this could start as part of the Windows 10 Essentials addon, since Windows Sonic for Headphones is only available on Windows 10, but I'd definitely urge that this be in source, with the Spacial Sound settings hidden for non-Windows-10 users
Also, I'd recommend that a sound themes manager be implemented as well, to further allow the community to customize the sounds. Perhaps, even, the Themes could be NVDA addons themselves, drawing more attention to the NVDA community addons page.
