Non-Visual Use

Although Talon is not explicitly designed for non-visual use, it can still be used well alongside screen readers or for general low-vision use.

Please note that Talon is in rapid development and is largely community supported. If you have issues, please join the community slack and let someone know.

How to get started

• Setup Talon according to the standrd quickstart
  • Install Talon
  • Install a speech recognition engine
  • Install the community user file set
• Once setup, install sight-free-talon. This repository provides a series of useful TTS and non-visual helpers for controlling Talon. It also prevents Talon from interrupting the screen reader speech as it types characters during dictation.
  • See the documentation in that repo for specific setup instructions

Limitations

• Certain windows produced by Talon's imgui library, like those from the help scope command are not accessible.
