Thanks for the F12 tip. Should come in handy. Am I to understand though that there is no guide as such for ReaAccess? How do blind users get started? Do you just have to figure it out from the standard user guide and the training mode? Seems like such a tall order at the moment. For instance, I'm trying to work out how to patch an effect. In the user guide it says click on the FX button in the track control panel, but I have no idea how to access the track control panel using the keyboard, and can't find any mention of it in the menus. And that's just one element out of hundreds that I will need to know to use this software.<BR>
At the moment I'm having trouble seeing how I can work out what to do when I don't know what's even possible. I've used Sonar for a couple of years, and it wasn't too difficult to get up and running because there was a guide for blind users that came with the scripts. I don't think I have enough knowledge to work this stuff out without some sort of guide. As you can probably tell, I'm pretty frustrated at the moment.<BR> <BR>
