Reading your post I was thinking about how blind users use the

on the screen, through the screenreader. As far as I could see, they
are also concerned with not moving hands away from the keyb, as this

Ableton Live http://www.ableton.com/downloads has a key map mode and a
midi map mode. Toggle to either mode and select the UI element you want to
map to it to and hit the key or turn the dial and you are in business. It's
convenient when you want to use real time dial, slider, and kill switches.

Hi Nik,
One of the projects I managed was an online application that had
similar requirements and implemented that using dropdown list too.
The dropdown list approach worked well for us, as it didn't clutter
the screen with too many options which were not necessary once a
selection is made; and

No Jeff, your right -
that is exactly one of the reasons the IxDA is a community of practice
- to provide advice, review, instruction, a second glance - and
support - not just to pontificate over DTDT or user vs use-centered
design.
sign me up - ignore the haters.

Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
1 last point about studio that wasn't said yet.
Studio is about craft (we all know that), but what we haven't said
is that studio education is not just master apprentice, but it is
also apprentice apprentice. Your peers are probably 50-75% of the
source of your education in studio. They can do

I designed a really complex enterprise application in Flex for Bank of

drawbacks, so here it goes:
1. Not a lot of Flex developers. Finding resources is a challenge

Hi,
I am curious if this group has some insight or experience into good
methods for documenting multimodal designs. Specifically the type of
multimodal designs I am referring to would include speech (voice
recognition) and other modalities such as; touch screen, keypad, and of
course GUI.
sorry for mutilating that subject line!

The above is my favorite. Right click to everything you need.
Although, you need a repository to plug into and not every host supports
that and no Mac version.
I agree on the crap factor, I just recently used a plethora of merge compare
