Text Information

This add-on allows for getting information based on selected text. Simply select something and use a keystroke to get information. You should, hopefully, be presented with something that fits the context.

keystrokes

note: These keystrokes asume your using the english keyboard layout, and might not work otherwise. If there's a problem, first try changing them in the input gestures dialog.

• NVDA+; (semicolon): provides information based on the text that's selected
• NVDA+SHIFT+; (semicolon): provides information about text on the clipboard
• NVDA+control+; (semicolon): speaks the last reported information. Press twice to get it displayed in a dialog.

supported services

Currently, the following features are supported:

• IP address information using the IPInfoDB API. An API key is provided, however I by no means guarantee it'll always work. You can generate your own, and enter it at the top of init.py, replacing the old one.
• english dictionary definitions from the princeton wordnetweb. Note: these definitions are not the best, and the database lacks definitions for simple words, e.g. could, you, etc.
• ISBN lookups via the google books API
• credit card type verification

Note: Regular expressions are used to verify data. There are currently some that aren't used, phone numbers and emails. This might be changed in the future.

a note regarding python 3

As of 2019.3, all NVDA add-ons must be python 3 compatible. If you are for some reason running an older version, 1.0 is the last version usable by python 2.
