Ultimate Guitar iOS app accessibility

2014-12-30 Thread Cristóbal 
Hello list,

 

So I was looking for a guitar-centric app and came across Ultimate Guitar,
but checking on AppleVis, it seems that an update a few months back broke
accessibility. There haven’t been any updates to that specific thread so I
was wondering if anyone’s played with it recently and if they can say
whether whatever problems there were have been addressed?

 

That or if an alternative app could be recommended? 

 

Thanks,

Cristobal

Hi,

I like the Guitarism app. It has nice sounds, and if you enable tilting, you 
can have 18 chords available. I haven't used it extensively recently, but the 
developer did work on accessibility last spring, and most of it is accessible.

Best,
Anna

Try ampkit or ampkit plus if you can't get the other app working.  I've heard 
that it is voice-over friendly.  HTH.

RE: Ultimate Guitar iOS app accessibility

2015-01-01 Thread Cristóbal 
Thanks for the suggestion.

I should have been more clear. What I’m looking for is an app for tabs. I’ll 
give this one a look, but it sounds like it’s for creating guitar sounds?

I’ve always played by ear and thought I’d try my hand at learning to read tabs 
to learn songs and riffs faster. I downloaded  Ultimate Guitar and while it 
indeed seems accessible enough (maybe issues got fixed), the way Jaws on the PC 
and VoiceOver in this app read tabs sounds like a bunch of gibberish.

 

Don’t know if it’s an iOS oriented inquiry, but if someone does know of a 
better way to read tabs on this app with Vo or some other app or method to do 
the same, it would be appreciated.

I would be surprised, but very interested, if there is a way to read tableture 
with a screen reader.
Since it is just numbers of strings and frets, I'm not sure how you would make 
good sense of it with a screen reader.

You who want to read tablature should check out LunarPro, a project designed to 
make guitar tabs accessible.  It can process files in Guitar Pro and Power Tab 
formats.  It works with NVDA (not particularly JAWS) and VoiceOver for the Mac.

 

Check it out at

Hi Dean,

 

Can you explain a bit more how this one works, I have never heard of this app 
before. I have downloaded it, but need to use the Jaws OCR feature to use it, I 
get no access with NVDA. 

 

I have had a look around ultimate guitar tabs web site and although I can see 
the tabs on the page, I don’t see a way to download one so I can load it in to 
this program. 

 

Thanks in advance,

Brett.
