Hi guys!
Every so often I have an idea, but don't necessarily have the scripting
chops to make it happen. More and more nowadays, people are using
hashtags on social media like Facebook, and especially twitter. Hashtags
are huge on there. As it is now, Window-eyes does not announce what the
hashtag actually is, so I was thinking it'd be kind of nice to be able
to hear the words "hash tag" before the actual text of the hashtag
itself. For those not familiar, a hashtag is a series of characters
proceeded by a number sign. If the hashtag is multiple words, it all
gets run together. To make them understood a little better, some people
will put capital letters at the beginning of each word so it's easier to
tell what it's actually saying.
For example, if you're watching Monday Night Football and you're
tweeting about it, you would use the #MNF hashtag. So for example, if
you saw a tweet with that particular hashtag, Window-eyes would say,
hash tag MNF, instead of number mnf.
I atempted to do this with the pronunciation dictionary, but didn't
have much luck, since the text of the hashtag is constantly going to be
different. I'm wondering if there's a way to do this in Window-eyes
itself, or would a script have to be written to achieve this? Also, I'm
sure that not everyone wants this behavior all the time, so a setting to
disable it would be good too. Like I said I'm totally not a scripting
guru, but as I was going through tweets one night, I thought to myself
that it'd be nice to have this functionality. Let me know if this is
even doable, and if so, how I can make this happen.
Thanks guys!
