Slau,
And that is what Tim is working on. Smile!

Hi Jon,
VoiceOver doesn't automatically read selective items within a window.
Imagine this: You have a window with 20 parameters being displayed among
other things like a pop-up menu for insert, plug-in type, factory default,
etc. When you change one of the 20 parameters by using the seventh encoder
knob on the control surface which happens to coincide with the third
parameter in the plug-in, well, you can imagine that such integral
functionality can only be achieved through scripting of a screen reader or
having a purpose-written application running in the background.
What you can do, however, is use VoiceOver to go to each subsequent
parameter while changing values and using VO-f3 to check the values. For
that matter, it's almost just as easy, once you're on a parameter, to simply
change it with VoiceOver. Where a control surface is truly fast and
efficient, however, is when you get to know the plug-in you're working with
and you can simply tweak an encoder knob to get the result you seek. Rather
than worrying about the difference between a ratio of 2.5 to 1 versus 2.6 to
1, one can use the encoder knobs the way knobs have been used for decades on
outboard gear and that's by ear. Of course, even with outboard gear, a blind
user would need to acquaint themselves with the function of each knob, its
range, etc. Using encoder knobs on a control surface is hardly different.
The difference is in the consistency of getting the encoders to reflect the
parameters rather than pan or send values but that's a matter of knowing
one's control surface and being able to recreate steps consistently.

How does one get VoiceOver to read what each knob does when in insert
