# NVDA Voicemeeter
|
|
|
|
A remote control app for [Voicemeeter][voicemeeter], designed to be used with the [NVDA screen reader][nvda].
|
|
|
|
This is still an early release but it should be usable.
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- [NVDA screen reader][nvda]
|
|
- [NVDA's Controller Client files][controller_client]
|
|
- Python 3.10 or greater
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
First clone the source files from this repository
|
|
|
|
`git clone https://github.com/onyx-and-iris/nvda-voicemeeter.git`
|
|
|
|
Then download the [Controller Client][controller_client] and place the files into the directory `controllerClient`.
|
|
|
|
If you want to get started quickly and easily I have uploaded some compiled versions of the app in the [Releases][releases] section.
|
|
|
|
### Run
|
|
|
|
Once the repository is downloaded and the controller client files in place you can launch the GUI with the following `__main__.py`:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import voicemeeterlib
|
|
|
|
import nvda_voicemeeter
|
|
|
|
KIND_ID = "potato"
|
|
|
|
with voicemeeterlib.api(KIND_ID, sync=True) as vm:
|
|
with nvda_voicemeeter.draw(KIND_ID, vm) as window:
|
|
window.run()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### KIND_ID
|
|
|
|
May be one of the following:
|
|
|
|
- `basic`
|
|
- `banana`
|
|
- `potato`
|
|
|
|
### Use
|
|
|
|
The app presents four tabs `Settings`, `Physical Strip`, `Virtual Strip` and `Buses`. Navigate between the tabs with `Control + TAB` and `Control + SHIFT + TAB`.
|
|
|
|
All controls within the tabs may be navigated between using `TAB`.
|
|
|
|
The following controls offer context menus accessed by pressing `SPACE` or `ENTER`:
|
|
|
|
- Hardware In
|
|
- Hardware Out
|
|
- Patch Composite
|
|
|
|
All other buttons can be triggered by pressing `SPACE` or `ENTER`.
|
|
|
|
To adjust Patch Asio Inputs to Strips and Patch Insert values use `UP` and `DOWN` arrows when in focus.
|
|
|
|
To rename a strip/bus channel navigate to the relevant tab, then press `F2`. This will open a popup window where you can set the channel index (with a spinbox) and set the new label using a text input box.
|
|
Pressing the `OK` button with an empty text input will clear the label. In this case the label will be read as a default value for that channel. For example, if the leftmost Strip label were cleared, the screen reader will now read `Hardware Input 1`.
|
|
Pressing `Cancel` will close the popup window with no affect on the label.
|
|
|
|
A single menu item `Voicemeeter` can be opened using `Alt` and then `v`. The menu allows you to:
|
|
|
|
- Restart Voicemeeter audio engine
|
|
- Save/Load current settings (as an xml file)
|
|
- Set a config to load automatically on app startup.
|
|
|
|
The `Save Settings` option opens a popup window with two buttons, `Browse` and `Cancel`. Browse opens a Save As dialog, Cancel returns to the main app window.
|
|
|
|
`Load Settings` and `Load on Startup` both open an Open dialog box immediately.
|
|
