Guide: porting NVDA add-ons to 64-bit NVDA (2026.1): https://nvda-addons.groups.io/g/nvda-addons/topic/guide_how_to_port_add_ons_to/117685297
TL:DR: check the add-on code, look for 64-bit dependencies if needed, test the add-ons, then publish it (hopefully to the add-on store).
Reason: add-ons are crucial part of the NVDA experience. Porting add-ons to 64-bit NVDA keeps them and NVDA relevant. The greatest thing that can happen to the community in 2026 is discovering the joys of using add-ons once again in the midst of celebrating NVDA's 20th anniversary.

Re-last: Being unaware of any documentation for the 32bit synth proxy, save for a reference implementation in the sapi4 driver: A problem I see here when attempting an update on Dectalk is the same problem run into with Eloquence, that loading the 32bit dll is simply impossible iwthout a helper process. Dectalk has a 64bit dll but converting the nvda addon to that is well beyond my understanding of the architecture. Oh well. Was a good attempt at least.
