There is a free tool that sighted sound designers use called metaedit but it is completely inaccessible, as in you open it and with NVDA at least, neither tab nor object nav nor the cursor keys yield any feedbabck at all. this is the only free solution anyone seems to be aware of so, on the offchance that the devs might be receptive, I sent them a message via their contact form, the gist of which is that they want to know what screen readers need in order for something to be accessible. Being as I have no idea, I was hoping that someone on this list might be able to give me some pointers to pass on, or at least the link to some guidelines that I could forward.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Here's the response I received pasted below.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Thanks for any help,</span><br><span></span><br><span>Justin</span><br><span></span><br><span>Justin, can you explain how you would like to use the tool further? Perhaps there is a way that reading and writing using CSV files will work best. I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with systems that provide mechanisms for the blind to navigate applications. I had my first experience recently when conducting an audio forensics class for the FBI which included a blind audio engineer. The hex editor application we used for the class did not work well with her screen reading application. In that case we had to come up with a way of exporting and importing to text files to work with her screen reader. This is what leads me to the thought of relying on CSV. If the resources were in place creating accessibility is something we would be more than happy to develop. Currently any work that is being done is being self funded by us and happens on an occasional basis.</span><br><span>Having said all of this, let me do some research into what it would take to make BWF MetaEdit more friendly to screen readers.</span><br><span>Thanks for the note and talk soon --</span><br><span>-Chris</span><br><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>RWP mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:RWP@bluegrasspals.com">RWP@bluegrasspals.com</a></span><br><span><a href="http://bluegrasspals.com/mailman/listinfo/rwp">http://bluegrasspals.com/mailman/listinfo/rwp</a></span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
