Greetings everyone. I have developed a small add-on for the NVDA screen reader for inserting emojis. And the reason for that is because the default windows emoji panel is not friendly with screen reader. I honestly find it hard to search for an emoji I want, And other issues such as sometimes when opening the emoji panel it's not being opened if you are in other windows. I'm currently publishing it to the NVDA store, But it takes time and I have to wait a few days or perhapps weeks to see it there. However: You can download it from github from the following link: https://github.com/diamondStar35/emoji_menu/releases/download/v1.0/emoji_menu-1.0.nvda-addon The add-on has one shortcut key which is NVDA + ; to open it's main window. It also remembers the last category. Pressing enter on an emoji will copy it to the clipboard, Ready for pasting anywhere. I have shared this because It's very useful for me, And I hope it will be useful for someone else, :)
Yes, It has all the emojis that windows emoji panel have, and perhapps more. The emoticons add-on does not have most emojis, Really. It only has arround 170 items or so, And most of them are, not emojis, they're emoticons, not emojis.
-- (Urh2006): Don't we already have the emoticons addon? Does this have all the emojis that the windows emoji keyboard has?
I was able to fix this by changing it in the input gestures menu and now it works like a charm. I love the addon and I can already see myself using it quite often. I prefer this over the windows keyboard.

Yup, this has replaced the other Emoticons Add On in like 10 seconds. Keep going dude, this is really great! -- (Jonathan): Very nice, I really like what you're developing. Will try it out soon.
The emoticons add-on is still useful though for making NVDA pronounce emoticons rather than the characters. But yes, The primary reason for developing this add-on is that the emoticons have almost no emojis at all, most of them are emoticons.

Have you added all these yourself in the code like the other one did, or are you somehow wrapping something, or accessing them from the windows keyboard? -- (diamondStar): The emoticons add-on is still useful though for mking NVDA pronounce emoticons rather than the characters.

Of course nope. Because adding 1900 emojis in the code is really a huge work. There is a library in python called "emoji-python-data" that has all those emojis, and allows searching, category filters and such, and that's what i use, :)
