Hello. I'm blind and use Notepad ++ with the NVDA screen reader, which is a free and open-source application for visually impaired. It happens that when I am writing something, NVDA can not speak the mistakes detected by DSpellcheck in real time, just as he can show me the spelling mistakes at Mozilla Thunderbird, Google Chrome, Microsoft Word and numerous other applications My daily use. Can you help me with that, please ?!... Thank you.

I looked into it and unfortunately it seems to be pretty hard to implement without help from Notepad++/Scintilla, basically currently they rely on how narration work for standard windows controls etc. To get complex things such as spelling errors to work, full fledged support for Windows' UIAutomation api must be implemented from Notepad++/Scintilla side. At least it seems to me that way currently, I might ask about this on sight like StackOverflow in the future to see if there's any way around this.

Quentin from NV Access here, makers of NVDA - just a quick note to both let you know users would still like this functionality to be accessible, and to subscribe to the issue to keep track of any progress you are able to make in future.
