Pro Tools Accessibility for pupils who are severely sight impaired

Hello all, This is my first post to this Google Group. I work in a Scottish Secondary School and we support pupils, who are severely sight impaired, to access the curriculum and learning. However, we are having great difficulty in making Pro Tools accessible for a senior pupil, as the level of

Paul, Are these students not using Voiceover on the mac in combination with ProTools? --- Christopher Gilland Co-founder of Genuine Safe Haven Ministries http://www.gshministry.org (980) 500-9575 - Original Message - From: doobie Mac To: Pro Tools Accessibility Sent: Thursday,

Re: Pro Tools Accessibility for pupils who are severely sight impaired

Hi Christopher, Thank you for your swift reply. The pupil's skills with VoiceOver are not that advanced, which in itself is an issue, and we will be supporting and assisting the pupil in developing these this session. Pro Tools is also brand new to the pupil and the licences that we currently

Re: Pro Tools Accessibility for pupils who are severely sight impaired

Having not seen a beta version of ProTools, and being what I know about betas, you're probably on a nondisclosure agreement, and cannot reveal anything about it, which is fair, but, honestly, Paul, I don't mean to be blunt about this, but, I feel like they really need to get their Voiceover skil

Re: Pro Tools Accessibility for pupils who are severely sight impaired

Hi Christopher, I appreciate your candour here. Pro Tools is complex and the priority needs to be the development of their VoiceOver skills. One work around, given the limited time available in a single school session, would be to use a laptop / pc workstation with Dolphin Supernova (screen enlar

Re: Pro Tools Accessibility for pupils who are severely sight impaired

Paul, I highly discourage very very strongly this approach. The biggest reason being, most studios will be using a mac, not Windows. Plus, on top of that, let's look at this from two other angles. a.. Firstly, what if the students later in life lose their vision entirely. I can't tell you ho

Re: Pro Tools Accessibility for pupils who are severely sight impaired

Hello, While Christopher makes some valid points, all be it in his unique candor, I will say if the work around is using screen magnification in the short term, Why not just use zoom on the Mac instead of setting up a windows system just for this student? There was at one point a zoom text prod

Re: Pro Tools Accessibility for pupils who are severely sight impaired

Thank you Chris, Great advice. We'll move forward with that, and TheOreoMonster's point too. The real difficulty is the content of the Music course and the schedule for teaching it. We may need to create some additional non-subject time for the pupil so that they have extra time to develop their

Thank you OreoMonster. We'll move forward with your point and the advice from Chris. Thank you for your advice. Kind regards, Paul On Thu, 3 Aug 2017 at 20:05, TheOreoMonster wrote: > Hello, > > While Christopher makes some valid points, all be it in his unique candor, > I will say if the wo

RE: Pro Tools Accessibility for pupils who are severely sight impaired

I wouldn't personally recommend using Pro Tools on the Windows side. Note: this is from someone who uses it on the Mac and have occasionally used it on Windows in order to get out stuff. Having said that if you were to move to Windows then other options such as Samplitude Pro X 3 Suite which is b

I was going to ask the same thing. And by the way, I would not recommend using it on windows either. Need audio mixed for your project? Check out my service on airgigs. https://www.airgigs.com/audio-editing-gigs/6735/Mix-commercials-and-jingles > On Aug 3, 2017, at 5:06 PM, Christopher-Mark Gill
