Select To Speak - silences upon key release, not key press of ctrl key |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Issue descriptionGoogle Chrome 67.0.3363.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit) Firmware Version Google_Samus.6300.276.0 For now, go to Chrome://flags > Enable Experimental accessibility features to get the latest version of STS. In the future, this step won't be needed. Steps to repro: # Start STS speaking on anything # Press and hold ctrl key Expected: silence upon key down event Actual: silence on key release event This was discovered from another facet of this bug: # Start STS speaking on anything # Press and hold ctrl key + another relevant key stroke such as s for Save Expected: silence upon key down event Actual: continues speaking even after the release of the ctrl key

This is on purpose because we want people to be able to use the computer while listening to speech. If we silenced on key press, it wouldn't be possible to continue to use your computer and use keys like Ctrl+C or Ctrl+T while listening to speech. That's why only pressing and releasing Control, with nothing else, silences speech. In contrast Search is not nearly as critical of a key, and it's also likely to be used to do another select-to-speak, so pressing Search cancels immediately. If you disagree we should leave this open as a Pri-3 feature request for now, but this was by design.

Moving from just having STS label to also having the UI>Accessibility>SelectToSpeak component to make searching easier in the future. |
