The link for the petition is http://www.protoolspetition.org. This program
is not necessary to record podcasts. Get something like Sound Studio. It
will totally do the trick.

James,
Pro Tools is the most widely used program from audio recording and
production. It's ubiquitous in the recording industry as well as the
academic world. It used to be accessible with the outSPOKEN screen reader
but since OS 10 came out, there weren't any solutions. The current
version of Pro Tools does not play well with VoiceOver. We're trying to
get Digidesign to see how many blind persons are interested in using PT
with tiger and the upcoming Leopard. I'd like to startle them with a few
thousand signatures because, unfortunately,j there are probably a bunch
of bean counters in the back offices who will only respond to numbers.
The tech people and customer service are all sympathetic to the situation
but we need to show the suits that the blind community involved in audio
and music is substantial.
