| These may be updated, downgraded or removed at any time. | ||
| It is recommended to package any pip dependency directly with your add-on, rather than using NVDA's version of the package. | ||
| The exception to this is `wxPython`, which must be used from NVDA. | ||
| The exception to this is `wxPython`, where any breaking changes from `wxPython` will be treated as an API breaking change. |

All reads well
One small suggestion, to add the keystroke to repeat the last utterance.
(I resisted the urge to push for "vision impaired" rather than "visually impaired", though I think now it's supposed to be "people with low vision"? I'm not sure - if anyone is confident, feel free to propose an updated wording)
