Hello Lynn, The basics of Sonar have been usable for many years now, and we've done some work recently with Cakewalk to improve the usability of Sonar X1 and X2 with our Sonar Enhance app. The biggest obstacle that exists for all screen reader users is the varying levels of usability found in the included effects and virtual instruments. Some are workable with the mouse while others are virtually, if not completely, inaccessible. The majority of these issues can be mitigated with some Window-Eyes hot spot definitions, but thus far no one has created any of them.
>From a hot key standpoint, Sonar 8.5 provides more options to work with out of the box (particularly in the area of making selections), though it's possible to reassign commands in X1 or X2 to attain the same level of access. As Sonar comes in a variety of versions, I would strongly suggest trying out one of the demos from Cakewalk's web site so you can decide whether the program will meet your needs. You might also investigate the Sonar Enhance app from http://www.gwmicro.com/apps/Sonar_Enhance if you opt to use either X1 or X2.
