NVDA AT Automation

Implementation of the AT Automation Driver specification for the NVDA screen reader.

This implementation contains two parts: a Python addon for the NVDA screen reader, and a Golang websocket command-and-control server.

Usage

NVDA Add-on

• Move the folder NVDAPlugin into your NVDA addons directory — userConfig\addons in case of a portable NVDA, %appdata%\nvda\addons in case of a system install — and (re)start NVDA.
• A http server should be available at localhost:8765.

Golang Server

• Change to the Server folder.
• Compile the application by running go build main\main.go.
• Start the server by running .\main.
• A websocket server should be available at ws://localhost:3031 (configurable in Server\.env).
