Hi, Possibley not Avid's time but other companies who write scripts for
screen readers could always address the issue if enough users want it.
I am not really a fan of scripts for applications as really the
developers need to do their jobs when the guidelines are out there and
if a set of scripts are written for a program and the developer has no
idea they could rewrite the user interface then those scripts would be
completely useless. I think Sonar is a great product for the windows
platform and have used it before with window eyes but the main issue is
telling your virus software and all other software that when Sonar
starts you need to shutdown as everything is fine when I am doing audio
recording then when Sonar stops they can restart themselves. There are
methods for doing this but I am not sure how to do them but I do know
they are possible as I have heard of people and even sited users who do
this stuff. I am not saying anything bad about Sonar at all as it is a
very good product and can do a lot of stuff but then I think lots of us
in the blindness community when we find software that is not accessible
just give up and say well someone else will fix this issue so I won't
even address the issue. I don't think this method works at all as we
have as much of a right to access this software as our sited friends and
if talked to in a very nice way and by pointing developers at the proper
resources I have been able to make some companies make their software
accessible or at least more accessible and even have helped beta test
software for accessibility as I find the best beta testers for
accessibility are the people who need it most. Nick Gawronski

You are indeed correct. It just isn't worth avids time to go into the
windows platform and try and address accessibility when ProTools is
really geared towards the Mac.

Yes I did. That was very helpful. So my correct in thinking that there
is no accessibility at all on the Windows side with jaws for Windows?

Did you read the reply I wrote on the midi mag list? You will be best
off going with either PT 11 with the latest PT updates on Mavric or
PT 9 with the latest PT updates on Lion or Mountain Lion. On PT 9 the
RTAS plugins are accessible and AAX are usable with a control surface
and in 11, the AAX plugins are accessible from the keyboard.

Subject: accessibility of ProTools?
I work for a university and am trying to gather some information for a
blind student who needs to use ProTools for a class. The class has
ProTools 10.2 on Mac computers, but he is a JAWS user. I heard
ProTools is accessible on the Mac. Is version 10.2 work well with
VoiceOver? The
person who oversees the lab has set up a PC with ProTools at this
student's request, however, I don't know if JAWS will work with it.
Are there JAWS scripts for the PC version of ProTools? If so, what
version of ProTools and what version of JAWS are most compatible? If
not, the student will have to bite the bullet and start learning
VoiceOver which I can teach him. I just haven't had experience with
ProTools. I've only used a single track editor such as Sound Forge in
Windows. Is
there a resource on keyboard commands for ProTools? I'm hopeful for
the Mac solution, not very familiar with the accessibility of ProTools
on the PC side. Any information will be a huge help.
